Your wedding bands will serve as enduring tokens of your union and lifelong commitment to one another. With this in mind, it makes sense to invest time and thought into finding—or creating—rings that truly reflect the essence of your relationship. The specialized design services at John Atencio provide a unique opportunity to make your wedding bands deeply personal. Read on for guidance on expressing your love through personalized wedding rings.
Designing Wedding Bands that Capture Your Style
Matching wedding bands are a beautiful way to celebrate your relationship. That said, your rings don’t necessarily have to match exactly. When designing custom wedding band sets, you can add unique elements that make the rings more personal and unique to your style. It all begins with choosing a precious metal that speaks to your personal taste and lifestyle.
For the contemporary bride and groom, sleek metals like platinum or white gold exude modern elegance. Meanwhile, rose gold adds a romantic feel, while yellow gold has seen a tremendous surge in popularity in recent years. Alternatively, you can opt for unique materials like meteorite, wood, or dinosaur bone for an unconventional twist. Accent your bands with dazzling diamonds or your birthstones for a pop of color. The options are endless, allowing you to showcase your personal tastes in distinctive ways.
Layer in Meaning
In addition to style, you can use your wedding bands to convey deep symbolic meaning. Consider, for instance, engraving each other's initials, wedding date or a meaningful quote inside the bands for a private message that keeps your love close. You can include a hidden gemstone or diamonds, or have custom symbols that resonate with your one-of-a-kind love story etched into the metal.
There are so many subtle ways to infuse your bands with significance beyond their roles as wedding jewelry. John Atencio’s attentive jewelry consultants can help you decide what’s possible, so you can layer in added meaning and create truly unique wearable art.
