Wedding rings are everlasting jewels that symbolise the union of two people. Forever pieces that are distinguished by their elegant designs, which define the excellence of the most romantic jewel of jewellery-making know-how. Top-quality materials and timeless designs characterise this season’s wedding rings. Although they are all a seal of love and are given when saying “I do”, there is a great variety of wedding rings according to different criteria. Let us focus on the most common.

1. Types of wedding rings according to shape

The shape of a wedding ring also defines the aesthetic style that prevails in its design. Wedding rings with rounded forms, known as half-round, are timeless, a classic among wedding jewels. With a more traditional design, their main appeal is the comfort they provide to the wearer and the versatility of the available widths.
The growing taste for minimalism and innovation in jewellery has led to the introduction of new shapes such as flat wedding rings. These jewels are eye-catching for their aesthetics and plain lines. They are characterised by the flatness of all their sides, a perfect quality for couples who are seeking a distinctly modern piece.

2. Types of wedding rings according to width or thickness

Couples usually choose the wedding ring model they would like to wear together. The touch that distinguishes them is the jewel's width, which ranges from 1.9 to 12 mm. The most common measures are between 3.5 and 4.5 mm, although this depends on the preferences and hand sizes of the future spouses.

3. Types of wedding rings according to colour

Yellow gold remains the most chosen colour in current weddings. Its classic finish captivates couples who admire the original version of the metal’s beauty.
White gold prevails as an alternative to yellow gold, winning future husbands and wives over with its elegance and versatility. This hue highlights and enhances pieces set with stones such as diamonds.
Besides sealing the love of the engaged, wedding rings in rose gold are also chosen as a way of moving beyond other more common wedding ring options.

4. Wedding rings set with diamonds or stones

Jewellery trends explore new ways of winning the bride and bridegroom over. The latest proposals include wedding rings set with stones or gemstones, such as diamonds or other precious stones. The inclusion of other semi-precious stones adds colour and high doses of sophistication, leading to pieces of exceptional beauty.

5. Types of wedding rings according to their finish

Gold is the main metal that is used to design these unique pieces; however, the jewel’s finish will substantially change the end result of the wedding ring. How the ring’s surface is worked leads to the following different finishes:
• Polished: the jewel stands out for its shine
• Matte: the wedding ring lacks shine
• Satin: halfway between the polished and the matte finish
• Brushed: to create a subtle brush-stroke-like texture
• Hammered: the textured effect is achieved by hammering and depends on the tool used
At Relojería Alemana we materialise each couple’s wishes by designing their dream wedding rings from scratch. The betrotheds choose the material, shape, stones, and finish, which our jeweller will use to create personalised pieces that will be exclusive to the future spouses.
