One exciting wedding milestone that is often overlooked is ring shopping. The engagement ring is the biggie but your wedding rings play a massive part in your day and symbolise this gorgeous commitment you’re making to each other. And unlike any other piece of jewellery you own (other than an engagement ring obvs.) this little sliver of metal will be adorning your ring finger every single day for years to come so you want to make sure you like the look of it.
You might be surprised to see that there are actually tons of fab variations when it comes to wedding rings in a variety of metals (such as gold, white gold, palladium or steel) with some stunning design features and embellishments. Irish designers and jewellers have some amazing options for both men and women – you can pick up everything from simple bands to intricate rings decked with diamonds (and other gems and stones if you’re after something different), beautiful knotted twists, pretty stacking rings and more traditional Celtic inspired designs. Jewellers are also well aware that couples may want something that fits in with the engagement ring so there are plenty of designs they can whip up to ensure it complements your rock.
If you’re looking to go the bespoke route, you can easily get something special made up just for you that will reflect your own personal style whether it’s a delicate floral or leaf pattern, the super personal fingerprint or a heartfelt engraving. And if you’re looking for some gorgeous ideas when it come to engravings, we chatted to the experts who had some lovely suggestions – check them out here!
