Bridal Jewelry
When a couple is planning on marriage one of the first decisions to be made together is the ring or rings. These will be the symbol of everlasting love and devotion. Making some initial decisions about style, color, design, stone shape and size will help get you started. Some questions to ask are:
- What diamond shape do I gravitate to? Marquis, princess cut, or classic round?
- Do I prefer a modern or vintage look?
- How big should the diamond be? Smaller and simplistic or large and bold?
- White gold, yellow gold, platinum or mixed?
- Diamonds only or colored stones as well?
- Sets or single pieces?
Bridal sets are a great option in that once a style is decided upon and found there will be no need to look for a matching bridal band because you already have a perfect match. Some sets include a matching grooms band as well. If a Trio set is available that makes both the Bride and Groom happy that is a splendid bonus. Designers combine a more feminine style for her and something more masculine for him all while incorporating a similar theme. In some cases however the bride and groom have different ideas and prefer to celebrate their wedding with bands of their own personal style.
Individual pieces may offer more diversity in putting together a more unique style. With so many options available for both the bride and groom to choose from. A groom may choose a more masculine band with intricacies of patterns or stones. Or maybe he prefers a solid band of Titanium or gold. The bride has her pick of single stone rings or more elaborate pieces with different arrangements of stones. There are many options to choose from.
Some couples choose to be entirely unique and decide on a custom or redesigned piece. Either including stones or mounts from various other pieces or starting completely from scratch. When choosing this route a truly one of a kind set evolves. Mostly couples choose to have the bridal set designed because a women has carried something in her mind from the moment marriage was on the horizon. Other times the couple will have a trio set designed to signify their love for each other.
