Afternoon, jewellery lovers!
Don’t worry, you’re in good company! I make no secret of the fact that rings are one of my favourite aspects of weddings! I mean, if you follow our Pinterest feed, you’ll already have realised that I can spend hours foraging through the all sparkle on Pinterest, selecting my favourites. I just feel there’s so many possibilities, so many ways to be original, to don the most incredibly set diamonds, or to make a minimal metallic statement.. I mean, it’s exciting stuff right?!
So, I thought it high time we took a look at the influx of free-spirited, unique wedding bands showing up on the scene right now! ‘Cause it’s not just about the engagement ring…
Extra Embellishment
More is more is more!
From celestial inspired pieces (which should always be paired with vows that include that gorgeous E. E. Cummings quote: ‘You are my sun, my moon and all my stars’), to Polly Wales’ sensational confetti concept bands, we’re loving the trend to totally maximalise on embellishment!
I can see your Halo
Inspired by the beautiful independent, Etsy based designer, Minimal VS, we simply cannot get enough of the halo bands. Not only are they statement in their own right, with that elegant half circle shape, but they frame your engagement stone in a harmonious curve.
Add more diamonds for the ultimate crown-like halo piece, or opt for lines of gold blasting outwards from your engagement stone for a sunrise effect that is timelessly beautiful.
Something Skinny
I mean, the skinny band will never not be a favourite, right?!
And right now, you’ll find them engraved with delicate tribal markings, elegantly shaped and often incomplete circles, which we’re in love with.
All hail the supreme skinny…

Single Showstoppers
So, here’s a thought: what about a single ring?
It’s your engagement ring, your wedding ring, the lot, all combined into one perfectly formed, all encompassing piece…
I can hear sighs of relief and contented joy from all those babes that can’t bear the feeling of multiple rings on one finger!
They’re absolute show stoppers, simultaneously combining traditional engagement ring elements (a.k.a. at least one solitaire diamond!) but with a band like feeling.
We’re all about that single ring life…

Unconventional Shapes
Whoever said a wedding band had to be, well, just a band?!
Things have been getting super shapely recently in the world of jewellery, from what appear to be gravity-defying earrings, to chains that span your entire décolletage and rings are no exception!
Single pieces that span half the length of one’s finger, revealing peaks of skin through their design, to hammered structures with a geometric feel for the guys…
Let your wildest dreams come to pass!
Flat Tops
We love this trend, based on the flat surface of the traditional signet ring, but with a sleek, modern twist.
In fact, my beau’s bespoke wedding band is reminiscent of this style, but with softened edges…
Add a square of black Onyx on a weighted, squared-off piece for something modern while masculine, or opt for a slim, high polished version with a single, or row of tiny diamonds, for a beautiful minimal statement.
Texture is Everything
Texture is reaching a whole new level right now when it comes to wedding bands.
From the timeless engraved sweet nothings, to bands that appear to have been intentionally set with air pockets (I’m no jeweller, but that’s the impression they give me!), or hand-wrapped bands with wonderfully intentionally visible joins, to the structured 3D aspect of Mociun’s ball ring (bear with me while I just scoop my jaw off the floor).
They’re utterly captivating and truly unique…
Right?!
I dare you to choose something completely original and completely ‘you’ for your wedding band. If you didn’t have influence over your engagement ring choice, then this is your opportunity to make a statement.
IMO, your wedding ring should mean just as much to you as your engagement ring; be bold and brave in your selection!
This is the last you’ll hear from me before Christmas (Lau will be with you before then though, don’t worry!), so I’ll see y’all on the flip side, have a good one!
Peace + Love

Ver y nice. Wonderfull designe
Where could track down the jeweller who makes the one on the skinny section I think it was or halo- the gold spiky number it’s sitting under the black diamond on a skinny band…. Love it xx
This is a really late reply, but it’s by Sarah and Sebastian 🙂
so beautiful. tanks
There are two rings here that I would really like to buy. Can you please tell me where to purchase them?
Thanks!
Hi Brooke, if you click on the images of the rings it should take you through to the website where the rings are from. If that doesn’t work, there should be details in the text about the rings as to where you can get them. Let us know if this still doesn’t help and I’ll do some research for you.
I’ve been trying to track down the first ring at single showstoppers and i just can not seem to find it, can anyone help please?
Sres: queria q me informaran como se realiza la operacion comercial para adquirir los anillos y cuales son los precios y de que metal estan realizados gracias. cecilia
Hi Cecilia, Si hace clic en las imágenes de los anillos que debe redirigir a las empresas que los diseñó donde se puede adquirir más información. Espero que esto ayude. Buena suerte, Laura
I’m trying to find where to buy the very first set of rings in this gallery the 3 rings together….. I touch the picture and it just says pin it.

Hi Marcia, if you click on the image of the ring it will take you to the website where its from/where we found the image which will hopefully link to where you can buy it. Good luck! xx
Where can I find the gold wedding band with the tiny, round diamond in it? It’s this one: https://www.festivalbrides.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/391.jpg
When I click on it, it just gives me the option to pin it.
Hi Jenn, I’m really sorry but we don;t actually have a supplier link for that image. The image was sourced via pinterest so it might be worth having a look on there for the same image and seeing if you can locate the supplier that way. Sorry we can’t be of more help.
Hi who designed the ring under unconventional shapes second picture please. Thanks.
I need help finding that ring set to purchase. The first image from Pinterest. If I could get any help I’d really appreciate it. Thank you
Can you please cite your designers. Thx!
Hi Koren, the designers have been credited in the main body text and under the images but if we have missed some then please do let us know and we will get these added straight away. This article dates back to 2015 so it is possible that some credits may be missing as the source couldn’t be located at the time. Please do let us know if this is the case and we will get it rectified. Many thanks, Laura
Hi. Where can I get the second ring in the „unconventional rings” section? Many thanks

Second ring from the bottom not picture*
Hi Hannah, I am so sorry but I can’t seem to find the supplier. I think it may have been a design by Mociun but I have had a look at their website and it doesn’t seem to be on there anymore. I am so sorry I can’t be of more help. Laura xx
