A wedding ring is most likely the most important piece of jewellery you’ll ever own.
Representative of unyielding love and commitment to another person, wedding bands should be chosen with the utmost care. After all, you’ll hopefully be wearing it until death do you part.
While engagement rings tend to be more decadent, wedding rings usually adopt a more understated aesthetic. Plain white or yellow gold bands are timeless, occasionally dotted with singular gemstones or baguette diamonds.
However, that’s not to say one can’t experiment with their nuptial jewels. We’re witnessing a renaissance of showstopping wedding bands punctuated by pigmented precious stones from rubies to emeralds and more. Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown opted for a sparkling white gold ring to compliment her cushion-cut diamond set pavé engagement band that belonged to her mother. Model Taylor Hill has a glittering gold wedding band to match her emerald-cut diamond engagement ring. Sofia Richie Grainge also opted for an iridescent eternity band encircled by diamonds. Clearly for some, bigger is better.
What wedding ring styles are trending?
According to Pinterest’s 2024 Wedding Report, searches for antique wedding rings have soared by 430 per cent, antique gold wedding rings by 300 per cent and vintage wedding rings by 120 per cent. Somewhat surprisingly, blue wedding rings have piqued by 155 per cent, indicating an increased interest in jewels such as sapphires and aquamarines.
Stackable wedding and engagement rings are also on the up. According to Emma Fox from Pandora UK: “This trend is driven by a desire for uniqueness, allowing individuals to curate a collection of rings that tell their own love story. Also known as the wedding stack, celebrities like Hailey Bieber have been spotted flaunting the trend. Stackable rings offer the flexibility to mix and match various styles, creating a customisable and ever-evolving representation of the couple's journey.”
