We have curated a list of trendsetting and elegant ideas to consider when planning your wedding jewellery, including bridesmaid's jewellery and Mother of The Bride pieces, so read on to discover more!

Personalised Pieces for a Unique Touch

This year, personalisation takes centre stage in wedding jewellery. Consider custom pieces that incorporate initials, birthstones, or meaningful dates. Personalised necklaces, bracelets, or rings can be cherished not only for their beauty but for the sentiment they hold. These pieces also make for heartfelt gifts for bridesmaids, adding a special touch to their ensembles.

Layering and Stacking for Depth

Layering and stacking are no longer limited to clothing; they've made their way into wedding jewellery trends. Experiment with layering delicate necklaces or stacking rings to create a multi-dimensional and intricate look. You can mix and match different metals, gemstones, and designs to achieve a curated, yet effortlessly chic, effect.

Colourful Gemstones for a Pop of Vibrancy

While diamonds remain a classic choice, coloured gemstones are gaining popularity for their captivating hues and symbolism. Incorporate coloured gemstones like sapphires, emeralds, or rubies into your wedding jewellery to add a pop of vibrancy and a personal touch. Coloured gemstones can be incorporated into engagement rings, earrings, bracelets, and even hair accessories. Morgan & Co have access to a global network of natural and lab grown coloured stones, from Parti Sapphires, to lab grown Rubies, Madagascan Sapphires, Australian Tourmalines and more. Book your free consultation to view a range of your favoured coloured gemstone.

 

Statement Earrings Steal the Show

If you're a bride who loves making a statement, opt for bold and dramatic earrings. Oversized chandeliers, intricate drop earrings, or even modern geometric designs can add a touch of glamour to your wedding attire. These eye-catching earrings can also serve as your "something blue" or as a nod to your wedding colour palette. Alternatively, you may opt for a more subtle approach of natural or lab grown diamond studs, set in a martini or claw setting, for some extra sparkle. 

Hair Adornments for a Regal Look

Hair accessories are making a comeback in a big way. From delicate hairpins and combs to sparkling tiaras and headbands, there are endless options to elevate your hairstyle. These adornments add an extra layer of elegance and regal charm, making you feel like a true princess on your special day.

Mixing Metals for Modern Elegance

Gone are the days of sticking to a single metal tone. Embrace the beauty of mixed metals by pairing warm tones like gold with cooler tones like silver or platinum. This contemporary approach adds dimension and modern flair to your wedding jewellery ensemble, allowing you to match seamlessly with different elements of your attire.

Timeless Pearls with a Twist

Pearls have always been associated with timeless elegance, but in 2023, they're getting a modern update. Look for pearl jewellery with unique shapes, colours, and settings. Incorporate pearls into your wedding jewellery for a touch of sophistication and a nod to tradition, while still keeping things fresh and current.

Essential Tips

Plan Ahead

Start looking for wedding jewellery early to ensure you find pieces that complement your dress and overall theme.

Consider Necklines

Choose jewellery that compliments your dress neckline. For example, a statement necklace pairs well with a strapless gown, while delicate pieces suit higher necklines.

Balance is Key

Don't overload on jewellery. If you're wearing intricate pieces, opt for simpler accessories, and vice versa.

Reflect Your Style

Your wedding jewellery should reflect your personal style. Whether you're a minimalist, a vintage enthusiast, or a modern trendsetter, let your jewellery showcase who you are.

Quality Matters

 Invest in high-quality pieces that will stand the test of time. Your wedding jewellery can become cherished heirlooms for generations to come.

Bridesmaids' Jewellery Selection

Bridesmaids are the unsung heroes of a wedding, providing unwavering support to the bride and adding to the beauty of the ceremony. To honour these special women and enhance their role in the celebration, choosing the perfect jewellery is essential. Bridesmaids' jewellery not only complements their attire but also serves as a meaningful gift that will be cherished long after the vows are exchanged. Let's explore some thoughtful tips and trends to guide you in selecting bridesmaids' jewellery that reflects their individuality and enhances the overall aesthetic of your big day. Read on for things to consider when choosing Bridesmaids jewellery. 

Consider the Dress

Before diving into jewellery options, consider the style, colour, and neckline of the bridesmaids' dresses. The jewellery should harmonise with the dress, enhancing its features without overpowering them. For instance, if the dresses are intricate or heavily embellished, opt for simpler jewellery. On the other hand, if the dresses are minimalist, you have more room to play with statement pieces.

Match Metals to the Theme

Matching the jewellery metals to the wedding theme is a subtle yet impactful detail. If your wedding has a warm, romantic vibe, consider gold or rose gold jewellery. For a cooler, contemporary theme, silver or platinum might be more fitting. This cohesiveness will tie the bridesmaids' looks to the overall aesthetic of the wedding.

Gift with Sentiment

Bridesmaids' jewellery is not just an accessory; it's a token of appreciation for their support. Consider gifting personalised pieces like initial necklaces, birthstone bracelets, or engravable charms. These pieces hold sentimental value and will remind your bridesmaids of the special role they played in your wedding.

Mix and Match

Gone are the days of perfectly matched jewellery sets. Embrace the trend of mixing and matching different pieces within a consistent theme. This approach allows each bridesmaid to express her individual style while still maintaining a cohesive look.

Timeless vs. Trendy

When choosing bridesmaids' jewellery, strike a balance between timeless elegance and current trends. While trendy pieces might feel exciting now, you want the jewellery to remain relevant in photos for years to come. Opt for designs that are sophisticated and versatile, allowing your bridesmaids to wear them on various occasions.

Consider Comfort

Bridesmaids will be wearing their jewellery throughout the day, so comfort is key. Avoid pieces that are overly heavy or likely to cause discomfort. Lightweight, well-designed jewellery will ensure that your bridesmaids look and feel their best.

Customisation is Key

Consider customising the jewellery based on your bridesmaids' preferences and personalities. Whether it's a mix of different earring styles or varying necklace lengths, tailoring the jewellery to their tastes will make them feel appreciated and valued.

Balance with Hairstyles

Remember to coordinate the jewellery with your bridesmaids' hairstyles. For example, if they are wearing their hair up, statement earrings might be a great choice. If their hair is down, delicate necklaces or bracelets might be more fitting.

Choosing the Perfect Mother of the Bride Jewellery

A wedding day is not just a celebration of the love between the couple; it's a moment that involves the entire family. The mother of the bride, in particular, holds a special place in the heart of this celebration. As she stands by her daughter's side, her attire and accessories become an integral part of the overall aesthetic. Choosing the right jewellery for the mother of the bride is a thoughtful gesture that adds a touch of elegance and grace to her role. Let's explore how to select the perfect jewellery that complements her outfit and radiates her unique beauty.

Complementing the Attire

The first step in selecting jewellery for the mother of the bride is considering her outfit. Whether she's wearing a classic gown or a chic pantsuit, the jewellery should complement the style, colour, and neckline. Opt for pieces that enhance the outfit without overshadowing it.

Classic Elegance

Classic jewellery pieces such as pearl necklaces, stud earrings, and delicate bracelets exude timeless elegance. These pieces are versatile and can be worn on various occasions beyond the wedding day. A strand of pearls, for instance, adds a touch of sophistication and refinement to any ensemble.

Sentimental Value

Consider choosing jewellery that holds sentimental value. Pieces that have been passed down through generations or gifted by the bride are not only beautiful but also carry a deep emotional connection. This adds a layer of meaning to the jewellery and the day.

Statement Pieces

While understated elegance is often preferred, don't shy away from subtle statement pieces. A well-chosen statement necklace or a pair of drop earrings can be the perfect touch to elevate the mother of the bride's look, especially if her outfit has a simple silhouette.

Comfort Matters

Comfort is paramount, especially for the mother of the bride, who will be actively involved throughout the day. Opt for lightweight and easy-to-wear pieces that won't cause discomfort or distractions.

Personal Style

Take the mother of the bride's personal style into account. If she has a preference for certain metals, stones, or designs, incorporate those elements into the jewellery selection. This ensures that she feels comfortable and confident in her accessories.

A Lasting Keepsake

The jewellery worn by the mother of the bride on this special day becomes a cherished keepsake. Choose pieces that she can continue to wear and treasure as a reminder of the beautiful moments shared on her daughter's wedding day.

Conclusion 

As you embark on the journey of planning your wedding, remember that your jewellery is a reflection of your love story. With these 2023 wedding jewellery trends and tips in mind, you can curate a bridal look that is both timeless and trendsetting, creating memories that will sparkle as brightly as the jewels themselves. Bridesmaids' jewellery is a reflection of their unique personalities and the bond you share with them. By considering their dress style, the wedding theme, and their comfort, you can select jewellery that enhances their beauty and complements your overall wedding vision. Whether you opt for sentimental pieces, mix and match designs, or go for timeless elegance, the right jewellery will not only enhance their appearance but also serve as a lasting reminder of your special day. Selecting the perfect jewellery for the mother of the bride is a wonderful way to honour her presence and make her feel truly special. By considering her outfit, personal style, and the overall wedding theme, you can choose jewellery that accentuates her elegance and grace.

Understanding the Sparkle: A Guide to Lab Grown Diamonds

Understanding the Sparkle: A Guide to Lab Grown Diamonds

Naturally mined diamonds once monopolised the diamond industry. However, with recent advancements in technology and increasing demand for ethical sourcing practices, lab-grown diamonds have emerged as a game-changer.

Lab-grown diamonds combine stunning beauty and quality comparable to natural diamonds. These stones are not imitations or simulants but genuine gems produced by scientists under conditions that mimic those underground where natural diamonds form.

Yet, the transition from traditional diamond lover to an admirer of these man-made marvels isn't always smooth sailing. In reality, without proper knowledge about them, you simply won’t.

So, what are lab grown diamonds and why should you consider them?

Book your complimentary consultation with us at Morgan & Co, where you can get an all-encompassing education on diamonds in all shapes and forms.

But until then, read our comprehensive blog on lab grown diamonds to break down the mystery together.

What are Lab Grown Diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds, also known as lab-created or synthetic diamonds, are identical to natural ones in almost every way - from their pure carbon composition to their mesmerising sparkle.

In essence, scientists reproduce the conditions underground that form natural diamonds over billions of years into just weeks using two main methods: High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD). These methods mimic diamond-forming conditions underground by subjecting small seed crystals of pure carbon to extreme heat and pressure.

Cool fact? These sparkling beauties cost 30-40% less than mined counterparts while offering similar quality - making them an attractive option for younger buyers seeking ethical engagement rings without breaking the bank.

We've only scratched the surface here on understanding these stunning gems. Up next, we'll dive deeper into how exactly they're made.

How are Lab Grown Diamonds Made?

Lab-grown diamonds, also known as lab-created diamonds, aren't your average gemstones.

This diamond market is booming thanks to a unique process called Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD).

In this method, scientists subject small seed crystals of pure carbon to extreme heat and pressure in conditions that mimic those underground where natural diamonds form.

  • A tiny piece of diamond crystal (known as the "seed") is placed into a sealed chamber.
  • The temperature inside the chamber is then raised up to 800 degrees Celsius while maintaining an atmosphere rich in methane gas, a source of pure carbon.
  • Over time (the course can take weeks or even months), the gases break down and the free carbon atoms attach themselves onto our initial seed crystal forming larger crystals.

Another technique is the High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT). This technique replicates the natural diamond-forming conditions underground: extreme heat combined with immense pressure on pure carbon material for several weeks or months until it crystallises into rough gem-quality stones ready for cutting and polishing.

These technique enables scientists to not only produce synthetic diamonds for fine jewellery like engagement rings, but also create more durable materials used in cutting tools.

So next time you're admiring that sparkling ring from Morgan & Co, remember it's much more than just another pretty stone, it's science at its most beautiful.

Lab Grown Diamonds vs Natural Diamonds

What's the difference between lab-made and natural, mined diamonds?

Natural diamonds, as their name suggests, are formed over billions of years under intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth. They're mined from these depths by companies like Lucapa Diamond Company.

In contrast, lab grown diamonds are created in a laboratory using high-tech processes that mimic nature's conditions underground. These methods include High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD).

Lab grown diamonds are practically indistinguishable from their natural counterparts. Both display the same physical and chemical characteristics, and exhibit the same sparkle, fire, and scintillation.

Lab created diamonds are nearly impossible to differentiate from natural diamonds using just a loupe, although they might contain different trace elements that can only be detected by using specialised equipment.

Diamond Simulants: What are They?

In contrast to lab-grown diamonds, diamond simulants are materials that look similar to real diamonds but have different physical and optical properties. Common examples include cubic zirconia (CZ) and moissanite.

While they may sparkle like true gems on first glance, their differences become apparent upon closer inspection - especially when it comes to hardness level and light dispersion characteristics. The difference can be detected using only the naked eye.

For instance, moissanite exhibits double refraction, whereas a diamond only has single refraction. As a result, moissanite displays a fiery rainbow sparkle that can be easily distinguished from that of a diamond.

Benefits of Lab Grown Diamonds

The diamond industry has been revolutionised by the introduction of lab-grown diamonds. But what makes them so appealing?

Affordability Without Compromising Quality

Synthetic diamonds cost 30-40% less than mined ones without compromising on quality or appearance. In fact, scientists produce synthetic versions that combine stunning beauty with superior brightness and purity due largely to precise control during the formation process.

Rare Colours Made Accessible

Colours rarely found in nature can be easily created with lab grown diamonds through manipulation during the growth phase – offering unique engagement rings at more affordable prices. Moreover, many jewellers including Morgan & Co now provide options like Brilliant Earth, featuring beautiful lab-grown colour-enhanced pieces ideal for discerning customers looking for something special beyond conventional clear stones.

Environmentally Friendly

Lab grown diamonds aren't just prettier and of higher quality than other diamonds, but they are also ethically superior. The fact that they are grown in labs means no mining is involved in the process. Check out our blog article to better understand the ethical concerns of the jewellery mining industry.

How Are Lab Grown Diamonds Certified And Graded?

The certification and grading of lab-grown diamonds is a rigorous process. Gemological laboratories are responsible for this task.

A diamond, whether mined or grown in a lab, starts its journey by being subjected to small seed crystals. This method mimics diamond-forming conditions underground where pure carbon transforms into precious stones under high pressure and temperature.

Once these scientists produce synthetic diamonds, they're sent off for grading just like their natural counterparts. The labs use sophisticated tools designed by top-tier scientists cutting tools that assess colour, clarity, cut quality and carat weight - commonly known as the 4Cs of Diamond Quality.

In addition to evaluating these fundamental aspects, mini details such as fluorescence are also considered during evaluation. 

All the collected data forms part of an official report confirming the stone's authenticity along with detailed descriptions about its characteristics which buyers can refer to when purchasing fine jewellery pieces like engagement rings.

What Are Sustainably Rated Lab Grown Diamonds?

In the past few years, a new type of lab-grown diamonds has emerged—sustainably rated lab grown diamonds. These diamonds are not only created in a controlled laboratory setting but also manufactured using renewable energy sources and responsible practices. 

Sustainably rated lab-grown diamonds prioritise environmental responsibility and adhere to the highest sustainability standards.

Many younger buyers find synthetic diamonds appealing due to ethical concerns related to mined diamonds. This shift has led one of the world's largest diamond mining companies, De Beers, to launch Lightbox.

So next time when looking for fine jewellery like engagement rings consider opting for sustainable options - they combine stunning beauty without compromising our planet.

Find the Perfect Lab Grown Diamond For You

Lab-grown diamonds have undoubtedly revolutionised the jewellery industry, providing an ethical, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly option for consumers. It is no surprise that lab-grown diamonds are increasingly favoured by socially and environmentally conscious individuals.

If you're looking for the perfect engagement ring, then it's time to consider lab-grown diamonds. Get in touch with Morgan & Co today and explore the elegance and artistry of custom-made, lab-grown diamond jewellery. Let's join hands to make a statement and embrace a sustainable future together.

FAQs about Lab Grown Diamonds

1. Are lab grown diamonds more affordable than natural diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds are 30-40% less expensive than natural diamonds because the process of creating them is more time and cost efficient.

2. Are lab grown diamonds perfect?

Due to the conditions they’re grown in, lab grown diamonds might contain minor metallic inclusions. Fortunately, these inclusions are so small they can only be seen under 10x magnification.

3. Do lab grown diamonds change colour?

Like natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds do not dull in colour nor get cloudy. They are equal in quality and durability to natural diamonds.

4. Do lab diamonds weigh the same as natural diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds are physically and chemically identical to natural diamonds, making them equal in all aspects, including carat weight.

5. Are all lab grown diamonds of the same quality?

When it comes to lab grown diamonds, just like mined diamonds, not all rocks are created equal. Look out for the 4Cs to determine the quality of each diamond: cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight.

How Necklaces, Bracelets and Earrings Enhances Personal Style 

Necklaces, bracelets, and earrings are three essential types of jewellery that can significantly enhance personal style. Each of these pieces serves a distinct purpose in accentuating individuality and creating a unique fashion statement. Let's explore how each type of jewellery contributes to enhancing personal style:

Necklaces

Necklaces are versatile pieces that draw attention to the neck and décolletage area. They come in various lengths, styles, and designs, making them suitable for a wide range of outfits and occasions. Here's how necklaces enhance personal style:

Statement of Personality

A necklace can act as a statement piece, showcasing the wearer's personality and preferences. Whether it's a bold and chunky statement necklace or a delicate and dainty pendant, the choice of necklace style communicates a lot about one's tastes and fashion sensibilities.

Neckline Accentuation

Necklaces can complement and accentuate different necklines. A long pendant necklace can elongate the body and add elegance to a plunging neckline, while a choker can beautifully frame a higher neckline, adding a touch of sophistication.

Layering Options

Layering multiple necklaces allows for creativity and personalisation. Mixing and matching various necklace lengths and styles can create a unique and trendy look that is entirely one's own.

Symbolic Meaning

Many necklaces carry symbolic meaning, such as religious symbols, birthstones, or talismans. By wearing these pieces, individuals can express their beliefs, values, and emotional connections. Contact the team at Morgan & Co for your free consultation. 

Bracelets

Bracelets are accessories that adorn the wrist and forearm. They come in a plethora of designs, from simple bangles to elaborate cuffs. Here's how bracelets enhance personal style:

Arm Candy

Stacking multiple bracelets on the same wrist, known as "arm candy," has become a popular trend. This allows individuals to showcase their creativity and add a pop of colour or texture to their ensemble.

Hand and Arm Accentuation

Bracelets draw attention to the hands and arms, adding a touch of elegance and refinement to the overall appearance.

Symbol of Celebration

Bracelets are often worn to commemorate special occasions, such as anniversaries, birthdays, or achievements. They become a cherished reminder of joyful moments and accomplishments.

Boho-Chic Vibe

Certain bracelet styles, like beaded or woven bracelets, can give off a bohemian, free-spirited vibe, perfect for casual and festival-inspired looks.

Earrings 

Earrings adorn the earlobes and come in various styles, including studs, hoops, chandeliers, and drop earrings. Here's how earrings enhance personal style:

Framing the Face

Earrings frame the face and draw attention to facial features. They can complement hairstyles and highlight one's eyes, cheekbones, and jawline.

Versatility

Earrings can effortlessly transition from day to night, making them a go-to accessory for various occasions.

Statement Pieces

Bold and eye-catching earrings can serve as statement pieces, stealing the spotlight and creating a focal point for the entire outfit.

Earring Stacking

Similar to bracelet stacking, earring stacking involves wearing multiple earrings on the same earlobe. This trend allows for playful and unique combinations that showcase individuality.

Conclusion

At Morgan & Co, we firmly believe that jewellery goes beyond being mere accessories. They are tangible reflections of emotion, creativity, and style that enhance and elevate the individuality of each wearer. Our commitment to crafting exquisite, meaningful pieces has helped us build connections with our customers that go far beyond the world of fashion.

Your Ultimate Wedding Band Guide: Choosing the Perfect Wedding Ring

Your Ultimate Wedding Band Guide: Choosing the Perfect Wedding Ring

The multitude of choices, designs, and considerations might make choosing the perfect wedding band seem overwhelming. That's where our Wedding Band Guide comes in to help you navigate this important decision with ease.

At Morgan & Co, we believe that your wedding band is not just another piece of jewellery; it's a symbol of your love and commitment. It deserves careful thought and consideration.

In fact, with the right advice and recommendation from our guide to the perfect wedding band, selecting the perfect ring can become an enjoyable part of your wedding planning process.

Start Early in Your Wedding Band Search

The quest for the perfect wedding band is a thrilling adventure, packed with numerous considerations. Kicking off your search early allows you to dive into various styles and designs without feeling rushed.

In our experience at Morgan & Co, we advise starting this journey about four months before your big day.

A head-start leaves enough room for thoughtful customisations, unique design elements, or unexpected delays. It aids in making informed choices regarding crucial aspects such as metal type, diamond cut, and even setting style - all key factors to creating a piece that truly resonates with personal aesthetics preferences.

Key Takeaway: 

Start your wedding band hunt early - about four months before the big day. This allows ample time for thoughtful decision-making, customisation, and handling unexpected delays. This pace opens up a world of style possibilities and helps ensure you end up with a ring that truly reflects your personal taste.

Set a Budget for Your Wedding Band

A lot of the factors that go into crafting the perfect wedding band affect its pricing. Some of these factors are:

  • Metal type
  • Stone selection
  • Design intricacies

Understanding these factors makes the process of setting a budget for your ring clearer and easier.

For example, platinum is more expensive than gold owing to its robustness and scarcity. But don't let these prices deter you; there are alternatives available that suit every budget without compromising on quality or style.

Gemstones also contribute significantly towards cost variations. While diamonds remain popular choices for modern as well as traditional engagement ring designs alike, sapphires or emeralds could also be beautiful yet economical substitutes depending upon personal preferences.

The complexity involved in crafting fine jewellery directly impacts its price tag too. A simple solitaire setting may not weigh heavily on your pocket compared to intricate vintage designs embellished with smaller accent diamonds.

Once you have an idea about what your ring will be like and set your budget, our team at Morgan & Co will be able to help you get the best results within your price range.

Complement Your Engagement Ring

Your engagement ring is a symbol of your unique love story, and the wedding band you choose should be an exquisite complement to it. Understanding its design elements and selecting suitable materials for your wedding band can make all the difference.

Understand Engagement Ring Design Elements

The first step in this journey? Get familiar with your engagement ring's design features.

If it boasts intricate detailing or vintage inspiration, consider opting for a simple yet elegant gold or platinum band that doesn't compete but rather enhances its beauty.

If, on the other hand, you have a minimalist solitaire diamond set against a white gold backdrop - why not add some sparkle? A pavé wedding band could provide just enough dazzle without overshadowing the star attraction: your stunning engagement ring.

Select Suitable Materials

Material selection is another crucial aspect when matching bands with rings.

You're spoiled for choice here - yellow gold offers timeless elegance while rose gold exudes modern romance; white gold gives off cool sophistication whereas platinum provides unmatched durability.

Bear in mind factors like maintenance requirements too as part of this process - certain metals might require regular polishing to maintain their shine while others are more prone to scratches than their counterparts.

Unlock the secret to a perfect wedding band. Understand your engagement ring's design, select suitable materials, and find a match that enhances its beauty without stealing the spotlight. #WeddingBandGuide

Consider Personal Aesthetic

The journey to finding the perfect wedding band begins with a look inward. It's not only about the appearance, but also how it mirrors your individual fashion and look.

Identify Preferred Styles

To start off on this exciting quest, first identify styles that resonate with you. Are you drawn towards minimalist designs or do intricate details catch your eye? Perhaps vintage-inspired pieces hold a special place in your heart?

Your preferred style could be anything from classic elegance to modern chic. Ensuring the chosen piece reflects your personal style is essential. You can draw inspiration from our collection at Morgan & Co.

Explore Different Settings

Moving forward, let's delve into the realm of ring settings - another important aspect when choosing unique wedding bands. From pavé settings boasting closely set diamonds for unmatched sparkle to shared-prong settings offering simplicity at its finest - each setting tells a different story.

If subtlety speaks volumes to you, consider satin-finished bands which bring forth an understated yet sophisticated matte effect on metal surfaces. Rings stay intact forever, hence picking one that complements both engagement ring and personal aesthetics is paramount.

Embark on a journey to find your perfect wedding band. Reflect your style, from minimalist chic to vintage elegance. Explore different settings for that unique touch. #WeddingBandGuide #PersonalStyle

Creating Your Stack

The creation of your bridal stack is an exciting journey that allows you to express your individuality and tell a unique love story. It's about making decisions on design, metal type, and ring thickness that reflect both personal style preferences and the significance of this special occasion.

Classic Designs Vs Bold Crown Designs

In terms of wedding band designs, there are two main paths you can take: classic or bold crown designs. Classic bands typically have minimalist aesthetics with clean lines while bold crowns feature more elaborate detailing or larger stones.

Your engagement ring also plays a role in determining which path suits you best. For instance, if your engagement ring has intricate details or a large centre stone, then opting for classic designs known for their simplicity might be ideal to maintain balance within the bridal stack.

Mixing Metals & Experimenting With Thickness

Different metals bring different vibes into play when creating your perfect rings ensemble.

Combining white gold with rose gold creates an elegant mix of cool tones juxtaposed against warm hues - it's all about experimenting until finding what resonates most with you personally.

The same goes for deciding upon the thickness; slimmer bands exude delicacy, whereas thicker ones make quite a statement.

Here again, comfort matters as much as aesthetic appeal since some people find certain widths more comfortable than others based on finger size/shape, etc.

Remember, every decision made contributes towards enhancing not just one's own personal style but also adds another layer to their unique love story being told through these precious symbols called wedding bands.

Craft your unique love story with the perfect wedding band. Choose between classic or bold designs, experiment with metal mixes and ring thickness. Your style, your tale. #WeddingBandGuide

Match Your Lifestyle With Wedding Bands

Your lifestyle is a key determinant in the type of wedding band that will best suit you. It's crucial to think about how your daily activities might impact your ring.

If you're someone who leads an active life or works with their hands, choosing a durable metal like platinum can be advantageous. Platinum has earned its reputation for strength and wear resistance, making it ideal for those constantly on the move.

If physical activity isn't part of your job description or if you intend to remove your ring during strenuous tasks, softer metals such as gold could be more appropriate. Gold offers flexibility in design due to colour options including yellow, white, and rose gold.

The setting style also affects maintenance requirements. For example, prong settings need regular checks to ensure diamonds stay intact forever, while bezel settings provide greater protection but may limit light entering the stone, which impacts the sparkle effect significantly.

Understanding personal aesthetic preferences alongside practical considerations ensures longevity and satisfaction from purchase onwards.

Choosing the right wedding band is all about matching your lifestyle and understanding maintenance needs. Whether you're active or prefer softer metals, there's a perfect ring for you. #WeddingBandGuide

    The Different Shapes of Diamonds 

    Choosing a diamond for your engagement ring? Shape matters. Round, princess, oval, cushion, or pear - each shape has its own unique charm. Explore our options here

    Round Cut Diamonds

    Princess Cut Diamonds 

    For a modern twist, go for a princess cut diamond. Its sharp corners and elegant sparkle will make you feel like royalty. 

    Oval Cut Diamonds 

    Looking for something traditional yet distinctive? An oval cut diamond is the way to go. It's a twist on the classic round shape. 

    Cushion Cut Diamonds 

    Want vintage charm? Choose a cushion cut diamond, also known as "pillow-cut". It highlights clarity over sparkle and is a popular choice among brides-to-be. 

    Pear Shaped Diamonds 

    Combine the best of round and marquise cuts with a pear-shaped diamond. Its teardrop shape will make you stand out in any setting. 

    Diamond Shape vs Diamond Cut: What's The Difference?
