Many couples search far and wide for the perfect wedding ring or rings to symbolize their love for each other. The world of designer wedding rings holds many options for those fashion-conscious couples that wish to show their appreciation of designer creations and the beauty of these finely crafted rings.
A number of designers have become famous through their fine craftsmanship and the beauty of their wedding ring designs. Some of them include:
- John Bagley
- Christian Bauer
- Joey Clapper
- Judith Conway
- Jeff Cooper
- Martin Flyer
- Gelin and Abaci
- Johann Kaiser
- Scott Kay
- Many, many others
These designers, along with the endless number of others, each have developed a unique design style while each incorporating many of the traditional options in wedding rings, such as:
- Two-tone bands
- Unique stone settings and mounts
- Interlocking bands
- Coordinating engagement/wedding ring sets
- Other various options
Designer wedding rings are available at almost all chain jewelry stores, as well as at a number of smaller, privately owned stores. Some of these stores have agreements with a featured designer. These stores may be able to offer you one-of-a-kind designs by a specific designer or special deals, so if you find a designer that you like, check into options like this. Perhaps the best venue in which to browse the various designs of these rings is the World Wide Web. Internet jewelry sites allow you to browse their collection of designer wedding rings and find a style or designer that you love. Many sites also provide the chance to order online; however, others allow you to only browse and require you to visit a store personally to order or buy your ring.
The price for a ring from a designer collection will vary greatly, depending on the popularity of the designer, the availability of the ring, and of course, the individual characteristics of the ring (material, size and shape of the diamond, intricacy of design, etc.). The best way to find the best price is to shop around. Visit various stores, both chain and privately owned, and search online for deals and discounts. Remember, however, that online sites do not allow you to try on these designer rings (or any other jewelry, for that matter) ahead of time. Search for sites that have a good return policy, and make sure you order in plenty of time for any possible exchanges or alterations to take place. Your designer wedding ring will no doubt be a significant investment, so be sure that you check into any available warranty or guarantee options as well.
Your wedding ring is an investment that you will want to put a lot of time and effort into. A wedding ring from a designer collection, while some can be trendy, in most cases will not go “out of style,” such as clothing designs tend to. Designer wedding rings can be beautiful and unique pieces of jewelry, and will be investments that you will not soon regret.
