Every bride usually has an idea of the wedding ring that she wants. However, the husband (or wife) to be is probably less sure! Your spouse will be your partner for the rest of your life, and they symbolize 3 things: your commitment, your fashion style and your personality. As such, you should choose a perfect wedding ring that will express an unequivocal, enduring love and also exert a unique personality for both the bride and the groom. To choose the wedding ring, you will need to select the style, the metal, the stone (if applicable) and the ring size. They are all important factors to make up the perfect ring for your partner.

Find Her Style

One advantage of purchasing your wedding ring from online jewellers is the expanded access that you get to the ring styles. Online retailers can also customize and design a bespoke ring for you. To choose the right ring, consider what fits your partners personality and lifestyle best. Besides your budget, her daily activities and personal style are the main considerations that ought to guide your selection. Here are the recommendations that match different personality traits with a wide range of wedding ring styles:

If Your Partner is: Traditional and Elegant

A classic solitaire ring is timeless and it showcases the centre diamond without any distractions. Solitaires, which are wedding rings that feature a centre diamond, are one of the most popular styles for wedding rings. The traditional solitaire usually has a plain metal band or, if you want to add more refinement, you can ensure that the centre diamond is set quite low by going for a basket or trellis setting. For a touch of glamour, add one row of diamond accents on the band or consider peekaboo diamonds (diamonds that are set in the gallery/undercarriage of the wedding ring that aren’t visible from the top). Three-stone wedding rings are another prevalent alternative to traditional solitaire.

If Your Partner is: Stylish and Outgoing

If the wearer would like to dazzle with glamour, then she might love a wedding ring setting that holds her diamond a bit higher or perhaps a setting that features the sparkling pavé-set diamonds on the band of her ring. The Halo engagement settings are quite popular. They usually add a circle of diamonds around the centre diamond so as to add sparkle and also make the central diamond appear larger.

If Your Partner is: An Outdoorsy and Nature Lover

Is your partner a nature lover or a person who likes outdoors? Wedding rings set with organic elements in their designs like leaves, flowers and vines might suit her well. For an active woman, you should consider a ring setting that will hold the diamond a bit low to the hand. A bezel ring setting, or even a thin metal band which hugs the diamond around its girdle, is also great in case you want to keep a diamond protected.

If Your Partner is: Romantic and Timeless

Does your partner like all things vintage and romantic? If yes, then consider a ring setting that features milgrain details, scrollwork or filigree patterns, dainty bands or intricate galleries. In case your partner loves a unique, one-of-a-kind item from the past, consider purchasing an authentic antique wedding ring. 

If Your Partner is: Modern and Contemporary

Does your partner appreciate a modern and fashion-forward style? Look at sculptural wedding rings (the rings that experiment with the non-traditional forms). Consider bezel settings: a thin metal band which hugs the diamond around its girdle. If she wants to forgo traditional center diamonds altogether, then consider a wide band wedding ring with beautiful details. Add sparkle with gemstone or diamond accents.

Precious Metal Options

As you pick a wedding ring, it’s important to decide on the kind of precious metal for your ring.Your partner might prefer a specific colour of precious metal (white, rose or yellow) or a certain type of metal (platinum, palladium or gold).Look out to see the jewellery that she typically wears for clues. White gold, palladium and platinum are all silvery-white. For a golden look, you should choose yellow gold.

Diamond Cuts

Not every one goes for diamonds in their wedding ring, but if you do there are a wide range of cuts to choose from. You should try your best to match this with her personality.
