How to pick the perfect wedding ring
Independent specialist jeweller, Biagio Patalano of Biagio the Jewellers offers couples invaluable advice when thinking about buying wedding rings
The wedding ring is the single most enduring symbol of your marriage. After the ceremony and celebrations you will look at your ring everyday and therefore it is the most important purchase a couple will make when planning a wedding. To get the best for you, take time to research your rings and plan into your budget.
The greatest influence in the purchase of a wedding ring is the engagement ring. The band should fit neatly with the engagement ring. The metal can blend or complement, consider the use of colour either single colour or a fusion of colours to create a design. The profile and width of the ring can match or act as a contrast to the engagement ring.
Will the ring have diamonds? This can complement an engagement ring beautifully if given expert care and attention or it may be that diamonds would detract from it and a classic ring would enhance. One of the latest designs, set a row of diamonds on the ‘off ‘ side of the wedding ring to embrace the look of an eternity ring but one that is integral.
For the Groom
Couples often choose a design for him to complement her band. More men are seeking contemporary designs whether plain or diamond set, a black diamond exudes style and luxury. Metals can be plain or mixed including Titanium or Palladium, a derivative of platinum.
“It is my passion to create the ‘dream ring’ for our couples. We show the couple rings from a number of collections which have been carefully chosen, each of which allows us to create infinite variations. If we do not have the exact ring, the couple can have a bespoke “one off” design making it an everlasting token of their love, a circle without beginning and with no end” says diamond jeweller Biagio Patalano
