We love modern wedding rings as much as we do Vintage and Classic, and it is time to reveal the most beautiful designs you can find to use for the rest of the time. Your engagement ring is not the only piece that will represent your marriage- the wedding ring is one that will become the true symbol of your alliance with your significant other. Sleep and simple wedding rings are timeless and popular – yet you can always find ways to modernize them with pave diamond accents, eternity settings, and colored metals.

Brides Often Ask

What’s trending in wedding rings?

Wedding rings are an addition to your collection that will particularly be used with your engagement ring. For this reason, many brides use to choose a design that aligns with their engagement ring. Yellow and Rose Gold bands have been trending as wedding rings rather than the traditional white gold or platinum sleek band. Moreover, they have also been choosing to select diamond bands and colored stoned accents, giving a pop of color to the classic wedding band.

How much is a real wedding ring?

A wedding ring, as is an engagement ring, maybe as cost-effective as you want it to be. The value behind it, however, is priceless, since it will become the most praised jewelry piece in your collection. A classic solid gold wedding band, for example, ranges from $600 to $700 for a woman, based on her size and the width and weight of the band. With the addition of diamond accents or more complex designs, that price most probably will go up to your designated budget.

Modern Wedding Rings For Men

Wedding rings for men are usually simpler than they are for women. Depending on the places where they live, trends may vary – from the color of the metal to the material of the ring. Some couples may prefer to use a common detail (like metal) on their wedding rings, while others prefer to make them completely different. The reality is that there is no right or wrong answer! Choose a design that you will truly cherish forever.

Modern Diamond Wedding Rings

A diamond modern wedding ring for men usually has accents along with a sleek solid gold band. On the other hand, a man may also choose to put a bigger diamond in the center of the band to add a little sparkle and a significant message to the ring. Some men choose to go for colorless diamonds, while others opt for a black diamond to make the design even edgier and more modern. The first set of users will usually be those with a classic style, yet the second will be for those that are more daring in fashion. My tip is to shop for a ring that goes with your style and that you will love and appreciate forever!

Yellow Gold Wedding Rings

Yellow Gold wedding rings for men are one of the most delicate and timeless styles. The color, however, has become the norm nowadays rather than the traditional white gold wedding band. When selecting a solid metal ring, you can choose among different widths and finishes. The classic sleek and polished finish will be for more conservative people while maybe a matte finish and a wider band will be perfect for those wanting a ring that is out of the ordinary.

Rose Gold Wedding Rings

Rose Gold Wedding rings are one of the ultimate ways to modernize a wedding band. Colored metals have become popular because of their versatility and their uniqueness. A rose gold ring has an even subtler color than a yellow gold ring, and people may choose to select this one because of its dainty and romantic look. A man that would like a rose gold ring is passionate, loving, sensitive, or even so accommodating that he would use the same color that his significant other opts for. In my opinion, if you are going for a rose gold wedding ring, keep it simple! There is no need for eccentric designs when the color of the metal says it all.

White Gold Wedding Rings

White gold wedding rings lie among the classiest of them all. This is the simplest design you can opt for and they are usually preferred by more classic personalities. However, white gold rings may be very versatile, too! Some choose to accent them with colored stones or diamonds, and even with black metals and enamel. The classic white gold wedding ring is a sleek solid metal band, around 3-4mm wide, and is the perfect representation of eternal love.

Unique Modern Wedding Rings

Unique wedding rings have no limit! From twisted bands to two-tone rings, decorative bands, patterns, and colored accents, there is a huge array of rings that could be made for the man who has a strong personality and wants a statement design. Some will upgrade the classic sleek band with titanium, diamonds, and finishes. The great thing about going for a unique wedding ring is that you can play with the design to match your significant other’s ring- even at the smallest detail.

Classic Wedding Rings

The most classic wedding ring for men is a white metal band, with a polished finish and a sleek design. When shopping for this ring, you might go for a white gold metal or platinum, depending on your budget and your preference for durability. The men who would love this type of design would be those that prefer the traditional look, one that will be forever timeless and not too flashy. Another great advantage is that it is much easier to match your significant other’s ring because of its simplicity… an eternal lock of love.

Modern Wedding Rings For Women

Modern wedding rings for women have been increasing in popularity over traditional wedding rings. Diamond accents, colored metals, and colored gemstones have been added to many designs to modernize them towards a sparklier and more brilliant setting. My tip is to match the style of your new wedding ring to your engagement ring – be it modern or classic, it will be a design that you will cherish forever.

Modern Diamond Wedding Rings

Modern diamond wedding rings for women may include eternity bands in all shapes and sizes, dainty pavé bands, and daring to use a rose or yellow gold. An eternity band symbolizes the basis of a marriage, infinity, and if you like the brilliance and sparkle that they offer, these are for you. From round brilliant eternity bands to cushion-cut eternity rings, you can select from an array of diamond shapes that either match your engagement ring or complements it. Moreover, you can also choose to add a halo to each stone for an ever-sparklier look or choose a subtler design with smaller stones or a dainty pavé band.

Yellow Gold Wedding Rings

Yellow gold wedding rings are the most traditional ones in some cultures (i.e. in Latin America). However, they might be more daring than others. A simple solid yellow gold band shines by itself and becomes a perfect complement to yellow gold or even white gold engagement rings. A bride that would love to have the same ring as her fiancé may opt for this band since it is completely unisex and can be made for both men and women. Also, a future bride may choose to add diamonds or colored gemstones to a simple yellow-gold band, adding a personal touch to the final design with a birthstone that represents an intricate message such as love, unity, or personality.

Rose Gold Wedding Rings

Rose gold wedding rings are one of my favorites. This color is slowly becoming one of the most popular ones among solid metals, because of its soft hues and romantic vibes. A rose gold ring will always represent love, so it is perfect to represent the alliance in marriage. When selecting a rose gold ring, you may opt for a simple band or for any other design that includes diamonds or colored gemstones. The rose gold in the wedding ring will be the pop of color that modernizes it yet allows it to shine. The bride-to-be who chooses the rose gold ring has a great array of options to choose from! The important thing is that it will always represent love.

White Gold Wedding Rings

White gold wedding rings lie among the most traditional and classic ones. For the more conservative bride, this color is the way to go. When choosing a white gold ring, you may find simple solid metal bands or over-the-top modern designs, but the color will always remain subtle and make your diamonds shine brighter. When opting for a white metal band, be smart when choosing gold or platinum – depending on your budget and lifestyle, I would recommend platinum over gold if you prefer a more valuable design with less maintenance.

Unique Modern Wedding Rings

Unique modern wedding rings could be anything- the sky is the limit! Lately, the trend is to use colored gemstones and colored metals, with added diamond accents, or vice versa. This type of ring is for the daring bride, fashionista, artsy, and bold. You can create any design in your mind, and will probably create something so different from your engagement ring, that it matches it perfectly. Choose a design and style that fits your personality and carry it with you until the end of time and for generations to come. Your wedding ring will be your legacy.

Classic Wedding Rings

Classic wedding rings usually carry diamonds and white metals. These are timeless and traditional but are nothing short of sparkly and modern. A classic wedding ring with a twist has a little more brilliance and a little more size, such as an eternity band that is a traditional statement piece. The conservative bride will probably lean towards these rings, opting out of vintage or simple designs. My tip is to find a classic wedding ring that goes perfectly with your engagement ring and with your significant other’s wedding ring- the meaning behind it will as valuable as it can be.

Modern wedding bands for women and men include an infinite number of designs – from playing with colored metals and stone accents to different finishes and styles. From the most timeless ring to the most unique one, the importance of a wedding band lies in the value behind it, which is the representation of union and love. If you shop with that in the mind, you will probably be drawn to a design that fits your lifestyle and style, but also end up with one that matches your significant other even in the simplest detail. Don’t be afraid to choose one out of the ordinary! Yet again, you will be the one wearing it until the end of time.
