Personalized Gifts: Individual, Unique, Memorable

A hallmark of our modern culture is the unfaltering pursuit of individuality. This has fueled a surge in personalized gifts, as many try to capture the spirit of a person’s individuality in the form of a gift. The market for jewelry, and in particular, wedding jewelry, is no exception. A wedding ring is such a landmark gift, truly something that should be uniquely personalized. Unique wedding rings are not restricted to the high end of the market, either, from stackable rings to classic solitaires, they can be found in any price range.

Stackable rings are a style that is catching fire among both men and women. Two, or perhaps three or more bands that are worn together make a beautiful statement. Stackable rings are often designed in the “eternity” style, where the stones used are place continuously around the band. When you stack a few of these together, it’s a truly dazzling display. The look has an unparalleled flexibility, since they can be paired with an engagement ring or not. Stones might be placed flush with the metal of the ring, called “channel set.” Additionally, the stackable shape of the rings allow for future anniversary gifts.

Another emerging trend in the world of unique wedding rings are the use of Pav? diamonds. The Pav? setting features fully cut, faceted tiny stones that are placed so close together that one cannot easily detect the metal around them. It gives the illusion that the ring itself is “paved with diamonds.” With the Pav? look, there is the suggestion of “bling” but without being ostentatious.

Vintage is a style that is a hot trend, but it also has the advantage of being timeless. The subtle and exquisite styling of vintage rings is very popular at the moment. Old European and classic Asscher cuts are usually associated with these rings, but you’ll see other various cuts as well. Vintage rings are typically recognizable by the scroll detailing and the tiny diamonds, milgrain, and filigree.

Colored stones are another popular trend in unique wedding rings. Pink and canary yellow diamonds, pink and blue sapphires, and other colored stones are showing up in wedding rings all over. It is not just modern ring styles that feature color these days, you can also have colored stones set in the classic four pronged look. Placing a colored stone in a vintage setting is particularly stunning. You can choose a personal favorite color, or go more traditional with a birthstone.

Choosing a unique wedding ring can be a daunting affair, but armed with the knowledge of the current trends and possibilities, you can make a great choice.
