Your wedding ring is something that will stay on your finger for decades as a sign of your forever love. Getting the ring you cherish means choosing the perfect one. Traditionally, the groom usually picks out a bride?s ring before he proposes so it can be helpful to drop some hints about what you like, or have an open discussion about it if you?d like to be more involved in the decision. To make sure you know what to look for, here’s a guide to customizing a wedding ring to ensure you get the design that?s perfect for you.
Setting and Styles
Choose what style of ring fits you best. There are many different kinds of rings. Vintage, modern, and classic are just several to choose from. Many brides love the solitaire style while others love a three-stone setting. A classic setting is called the prong setting. The prongs grip the stones inside your ring. Many brides love the classic look because there is minimal metal so diamonds or other gemstones seem to shine even more. A bezel setting has a modern look and is easy to maintain. This setting encircles the stone with a thin rim that holds the stone(s) in place. Another setting similar to this is the halo setting. This style adds a circle of diamonds around the center stone making it seem larger and brighter. Many vintage settings have scrollwork patterns or intricate details for a one-of-a-kind look.
