How to find a wedding ring to match your vintage engagement ring

You will love the beautiful vintage ring on your finger. The problem is that it looks like there aren't any new engagement rings. Despite the fact that you like it-that's why you or your partner chose it-it also means that finding the right wedding band for you will become more difficult.

The most classic vintage engagement ring is set with a five-claw solitaire diamond, perfect for wedding rings. Because the five-prong ring is designed to keep the diamond away from your fingers, there is enough space underneath it to place a band of pure gold (or a higher-level diamond ring).

However, as the silhouette of the ring becomes more exaggerated, finding a matching wedding ring becomes more difficult. No quick solution for a wedding ring that can be paired with our Edwardian daisy ring or our beautiful Art Deco toi et moi ring, but if you are creative, you can find a solution.

For a daisy ring, the setting is close to the fingers, so there is no room for a classic wedding ring. However, since the lower half of the flower is significantly below the band's level, the open wedding band works perfectly.

Shaped wedding ring

Wedding rings designed to embrace engagement rings are a trend we love, especially if the wedding ring is set with diamonds or colored stones, which means you can create a variety of unique combinations. They form a halo around the center gem and are best suited for solitaire engagement rings, and can even be stacked above and below to give your ring a new personality.

Split wedding ring

Open wedding rings are currently very popular because they are both practical and beautiful. This style of wedding ring "misses" a part and is therefore similar to a cufflink bracelet. confused? See the example below. The advantages of open wedding rings are that diamonds, gems, or daisies in this case can be comfortably embedded in the void, and they appear more luxurious when set with diamonds on either side of the space.

If you are thinking about opening a wedding band, here's a tip: make sure the wedding band is strong enough to stand the test of time. Don't be too delicate, as it may become distorted over time. This is especially dangerous if the ring is set with diamonds or precious stones, which will inevitably become loose.

However, open wedding bands are not suitable for Art Deco toi et moi rings because their wavy design poses problems due to the lack of symmetry. For a rotating ring like this, or any ring with an unusual profile, I recommend customization.

Liturgical wedding band

Customization is a word that is closely related to the luxury industry and almost always equals expensive. But wedding rings are one of the simplest pieces of jewelry, and if made of gold only (ie without diamonds added), a custom wedding ring costs only £ 600. If you don't believe me, then Arabel Lebrusan, co-founder of The Vintage Ring Company, has made many custom wedding rings at this price from 100% ethical gold.

If more and more brides like to customize a wedding ring to embrace a bride with an engagement ring, then customization is a particularly good choice. By debugging a custom wedding ring, you can ensure that its shape perfectly matches the contour of the engagement ring, and choose the metal with personal information that suits your unique details (from artistic diamond or colored gem carving to precious carving).

Embrace the gap

But "embracing the divide" is also fashionable. Many women hate the gap between an engagement ring and a wedding ring, but if the ratio is right, it can look charming. The best advice is to try it out. Often, rings you think you can't use are really okay. Keep an open mind and you might be pleasantly surprised.
