8 Wedding Ring Design Ideas

When it comes to choosing a wedding ring, you don’t have to settle for the standard plain silver or gold band. For those of you looking for something with a bit more complexity or personality, we have 8 wedding ring design ideas that will make your big day feel even more special.

1. Engrave a Design

You could engrave a pattern or shape other around the outside of your wedding band that has some importance to you and your significant other. It could be something simple, like their name, or something quite complicated, like a fingerprint.

2. Think Florals

You could create a floral or leaf design with added metal work around the band, or you could use marquis/pear cut diamonds to take the shape of leaves and petals. Better yet, use both to make a real impression.

3. Paved with Detail

Add a touch of sparkle to your wedding band with pavé set diamonds. The diamonds don’t have to go the whole way around the band; they can cover half or a quarter of the band’s surface and still create something unusual.

4. Fine Details

With milgrain, you can create small details to the ring like a beaded line that goes around the centre or edges of the band. You can also use it to showcase any diamonds in the design. It’s a simple embellishment that adds a touch of intricacy and makes the design immediately more interesting.

5. Vintage Inspired

If you’d like a diamond in your wedding ring, you could use filigree to showcase the stone. Filigree will create an elegant vintage-look ring that has movement and intricacy. Or if your ring is wide enough, you could use filigree to recreate the lace from your wedding dress, for an added personal touch.

 6. Reinvent the Eternity Band 

Why not take inspiration from an eternity ring and bezel set the diamonds? With this approach, you’ll be able to create a lot of shine and luminosity – so your band will definitely catch people’s eye. 

7. Play with Colour

The band and stones in your ring don’t have to be limited to just one colour; use various coloured metals in the band, or alternating diamonds colours, to add contrast to your ring. It will result in a very unique and original ring design.

8. Alternating Diamond Shape

Combining more than one diamond shape creates an interesting and unique design. For instance, you might have a pear cut diamond with a row of round diamonds along the pear’s curve.
