When organizing a wedding, the couple is aware that many wedding details will likely be disposable. A bride doesn't wear a wedding dress every day, the beautiful bouquet will fade sooner or later, but there is one (or to be more precise two) things that will adorn your fingers for the rest of your life, namely wedding rings. That is why they should be chosen as comfortable as possible and more suitable for the couple.

Līgavām.lv collected wedding ring trends and prerequisites that should be taken into account when choosing them.

RED GOLD AND OTHER TRENDS

One of the highest quality jewelry salons in Latvia - ZELTS states that after working for many years in this industry, various trends have been observed in the field of wedding rings - in the nineties, rings had to be massive, heavy and voluminous, entering the 21st century there was a trend to choose a ring from yellow gold and a return to classical values, a little later there was a trend to wear white gold, and wedding rings began to appear more and more often brilliant.  During these years, there has also been a tendency to use other materials in the manufacture of wedding rings - both platinum, silver and silver-gold combinations. Various surface treatments have also been popular over the years - finely or roughly matted surfaces, combinations of matted and glossy surfaces.

Currently, a current trend is to return to the classic and vintage design of the wedding ring, therefore the choice of materials also corresponds to eternal values -

young couples mostly choose to order gold wedding rings made just for them. Wedding rings made of red (rose) gold are also celebrating their victory march in the world, and this is no surprise, because it suits almost any skin tone.

DESIGN AND FUNCTIONALITY OF WEDDING RINGS

Designs of wedding rings can vary, because it is undeniable - as many couples, so many options. They can be classic gold rings - round in shape and often with an engraving inside the ring. Also, wedding rings can be with diamonds or made according to a unique design chosen by the couple themselves.

However, apart from choosing a design, there are several other factors to consider when choosing your wedding rings.

Jewelry salon ZELTS states that it is important to observe several prerequisites:

• Inner ring profile – it is always recommended to choose a semi-circular or comfort profile. It is both easier to put on/off the finger and causes much less discomfort when squeezing the hand or lifting weights.
• Thickness of the rings – one should not forget that gold is a relatively soft material, so choosing thin rings in the store will of course be a pleasure at a cheaper price due to the light weight, but the question must be answered whether the wedding ring deformed over time will be a pleasure.
• Individual characteristics – for example, the bones of the finger are strongly defined, and if one wants to order rings with diamonds, in this case it is better to choose a setting of stones around the entire ring, rather than one stone, because the ring will rotate on the finger.
• Ring and man - quite often men say that they are not born to wear jewelry - in this case, it is definitely recommended to choose a man's ring in the most classic design, comfort profile. Also, jewelers believe that a man should give the ring a chance by wearing it at least for a while.

BUDGET – DETERMINING, BUT IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR?

Jewelers advise every couple to look at the making of wedding rings as a small project - firstly, it should be clear what the customer's goal is, what result they want to get, secondly, they should clearly understand the priorities, because cheap, fast and high-quality do not tend to be at the same time. "You should never forget that the decision about wedding rings is ultimately made by the customer himself, however, we recommend not to make a decision based on the assumptions that 'it will probably be expensive'. It often turns out that 'expensive' is not so expensive at all, especially if you look at the wedding budget and realize that without happy memories and pictures of that day, wedding rings are almost the only material that will stay with you," advises ZELTS jewelers.
