Synka | Sep 03, 2009 | 0 comments

A hallmark of our modern culture is the unfaltering pursuit of individuality. As a result, many turn to personalized gifts as a way to express individuality in a gift form. The market for jewelry, and in particular, wedding jewelry, is no exception. A wedding ring is perhaps the gift of a lifetime; so much goes into choosing something personalized for the recipient. 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 and even three or more bands make an unforgettable statement. Often stackable rings are designed in the “eternity” style, which just means that stones are placed all around the band, creating an unending round. 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. The very rare pink diamonds, canary yellow, pink sapphires and blue are all appearing on the wedding finger in increasing numbers. Color is not restricted to modern styles; you can put them in the traditional four prong setting. 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.
