Get Married With An Unusual Wedding Band

By Jill Faulkner


If you are looking to make a statement about your marriage, start off with an unusual wedding band design. Traditionally bands are made of gold or silver that are fairly plain but that should not limit you. The choices of designs are pretty endless. All you have to do is let your jeweler know that you want something different and distinctive. Most are accommodating to their customers.

You can work with a jeweler to create a one of a kind piece. It can be based on what you like as a couple or something that reflects your personal style. An acquaintance of mine is an architect and the design of his rings are based upon the work of a famous architect. Their set was unique and symbolized the strength of their feelings for each other as well as the theme of their career path.

Add different gems to the band. The ring does not have to only contain diamonds which is traditional for wedding bands. You can add gemstones that are meaningful to you such as birthstones or simply ones that you like. Combine different choices to create a unique look. The setting can also be designed and handcrafted to show off your gems of choice. There are some beautiful bands created for women in an awesome raised floral pattern which are highlighted with various gem stones.

While wedding bands are traditionally made of metal, it is not required. Leather or even wood can be used to create a unique band. Leather materials can be woven while wood can be carved. Materials such as these are more masculine so are a better choice for men.

Band colors can be different. Black has become a popular choice especially for styles that men prefer. It stands out because it is different. Some of the rings are constructed of a more durable material so they are less prone to getting damaged. Not only are they meaningful but they will last a long time.

If you prefer the more traditional silver or gold, you can buy bands that have unique patterns etched in the metal. It will allow the band to still be distinctive yet still somewhat traditional. Shop around until you find the pattern you like. There are lots of options available online or in jewelry stores.

It is popular for a couple is to have a matched set of bands. A unique way to start off the marriage is to work together to create your wedding band set. Both the bride and groom to be should add features they like and intertwine the ideas together just as their lives will be intertwined. It is a great way to personalize your rings and your marriage.

If you choose an unusual wedding band you will know that you have a piece of jewelry that will stand out amongst the rest. It will be different in a good way and represent you in a unique manner. Do not be afraid to get what you want in wedding jewelry after all you will hopefully be wearing it for a long time.
