If you are fond of tradition, then you will happily be obliged to go with the standard yellow gold wedding bands for your special day. However, if you are all about being original and lean more towards unique, distinct and sophisticated, you may want something a bit different for your day in matrimony. It’s important to understand that neither decision is a poorly made one; this is just a reflection of personal tastes and nothing more. If you do opt for custom, designer wedding bands, there are some tips that will be offered in this article that can serve to help you better decide what style and design to choose.

Custom Wedding Bands

The word custom means a lot when you are talking about designer wedding bands. That’s because when you have a ring custom created, the sky is literally the limit. A good first step that you will want to take is in with meeting a custom jewelry designer. From there, you can gain more insight into this process and the time and cost it requires. A custom ring can be designed nearly any way you deem fit (budget permitting, of course). It’s always a good idea to consult with a professional ring designer if this is the action you want to take. 

Engraved Bands

There’s nothing more intimate than engraved designer wedding bands. These bands can feature internal or external engraving with the most popular option being internally imbedded lettering. Before having the rings engraved think of the most suiting options you have. Popular considerations include: initial and dates you met, initials of children, important dates, full engraved names, and an unending list of other variations that are entirely at your discretion.

Interlocking Bands

Another popular option that you should explore is interlocking bands. These can be made for both the bride and the groom. Interlocking rings are immensely popular during the present day and consist of a two ring set (for each person) that merges a wedding ring and an engagement ring. For example, the woman is offered a matching engagement ring to propose the marriage. Upon the ceremony actually commencing, she is then offered her wedding ring, which locks into place with the engagement ring to form one ring. In case you are wondering, the men’s rings can be two rings, if the man is offered an engagement ring (not very common). Otherwise, it’s typically the bride who receives such a ring set.

Alternative Metal Options


You have a variety of different options with various precious metals outside of the standard yellow gold. For example, you can always change things up rather easily by opting for white gold or rose gold (white gold for him and rose gold for her). You can also consider an equally as elegant silver wedding band – which is virtually identical to white gold yet less oppressing on your wallet. A variety of other precious metals might suit you as well, including metals such as platinum, palladium and even tungsten. For those shoppers on a tight budget, you’ve always got sterling silver to consider as well.
