How To Choose The Perfect Wedding Band By Jeff Slokum Styles and choices in wedding bands have changed drastically over the past few years. Because everyone seems to be looking for something that is unique and different, jewelers are offering more choices than ever before. This leads to a small dilemma, however. With so many different styles now being offered, how do you know whether the band you choose is truly unique? People don’t want something that is just a non-traditional style anymore. People want something that no one else has anywhere. This can be a tall order to fill. Still, even if you can’t manage something completely unique, at least you can find a wedding band that is different enough it will get attention and possibly turn a few heads.
Custom Ordering
This is perhaps the best way to find a truly unique wedding band. It is also one of the most expensive. Although the Internet makes custom ordering much more accessible than it ever was before, you can still expect to pay more for your custom ordered band than you would for any other type of wedding ring. If you are completely set on having a truly unique wedding band, however, this is the way to go.
Tension Set bands
A very interesting style of wedding band that has started becoming popular is the tension set wedding band. These rings are not a traditional solid circle but instead have a split in the design. In this split a stone is set so that it is held in place by the tension of the opposing ends of the ring. There are positive and negative aspects to choosing a ring with
a tension
setting, but it is a design that gets noticed. Tension set wedding
bands can be custom ordered as well, so the opportunity is still there
for something truly unique.
Celtic Wedding Bands
Wedding
bands with attractive Celtic design patterns have been rising in popularity,
but are still far from the norm. With so many different Celtic braid
and weave designs available, it is easy to have a ring that at least
appears to be unique. There are a lot of companies that can do Celtic
designs according to custom specifications as well and, because these
companies specialize in this type of work, a custom ordered Celtic
wedding band is often less costly than other types of custom bands.
When looking for a unique wedding band, a Celtic design may be the
way to go.
It is often said that there is nothing new under
the sun. This old adage may be true, but there are at least options
in every situation. The search for a unique wedding band need not be
fruitless. Even if you can’t find or afford a true one-of-a-kind ring,
the options and differences in styles available will at least help
you find something that is unique to you. And isn’t that really all
you could ask for? If your wedding band is consistently admired and
you hear the question “Where’d you get that” quite often, you can feel
satisfied that you’ve found a unique wedding band.
