Wedding and engagement rings are a very important part of a couple’s life. It's a physical symbol of their love and commitment towards each other. Married life is something that should be celebrated. What better way to do that than through an eternity ring? In a lot of wedding ring guides, you'll notice that there are factors you need to consider when choosing your wedding and engagement rings.

The ring size, style, and materials are all things to look at. You have to choose a metal that's strong enough to last a lifetime but that's actually affordable. In this wedding and engagement ring guide, we'll go over the types of metals, options, and what to look for during your search to give you peace of mind.

A wedding ring is a symbol of eternal love and commitment. Because of this, it’s important to choose something comfortable you can wear every day. Thankfully, you don't have to settle for just a traditional diamond engagement ring. There's nothing wrong with them, but you have other options available that look just as good as single diamond rings. But the wrong fit will ruin things completely. You can't just use an average ring size since it's different from person to person. Approximate ring sizes may leave you with a ring that barely fits.

There are many ways for you to measure your finger. The best way to find your perfect fit is to get your finger sized by a professional jeweler. But if you're in a city that doesn't have a reputable jewelry designer, the next convenient method of sizing your finger is with one of our ring sizers. There are a few things our wedding ring guide mentions to keep in mind when determining your ring size:

1) The width of the band will affect how tight the ring feels. A wider band may feel awkward if your finger is too small, while a narrower band might have a different effect. We generally recommend choosing an 8mm width if you have larger fingers or a ring size above 8.

2) If you have large knuckles, you may need a slightly larger size so the ring can slide over them easily.

3) Your fingers may swell during different times of the day or during different seasons, so it’s best to get sized when your fingers are at their normal size.

4) Your ring's width and thickness will have an effect on your band's comfort fit. The biggest factor is the way the insides are rounded. Comfort fit rings are more comfortable than a standard fit.

Once you know your ring size and preferred thickness, you're going to want to find a style that's right for you. You'll see tons of these during your wedding and engagement ring shopping. These include beveled, rounded, flat, or stackable profiles. Each of the below options feels different around your finger.

Beveled: Here, the ring has a sloping edge around it instead of a squared one. This gives it a more elegant appearance.

Rounded: The ring has round curves all around your finger. This is seen in more traditional bands. They're great for those looking for a modern, sleek design.

Flat: A flat ring has squared edges. They aren't sloped or curved. The squares look cleanly cut. You're more likely to see this in a simple design. The flat profile ring has no curves or angles.

Stackable: A stackable ring can be placed on top of another ring. You'll often see this type of wedding ring worn on top of another ring, typically another bespoke engagement ring. Stackable rings have grown in popularity. The ability to place additional pieces over existing rings gives you the ability to mix and match complimentary colors.

Along with your wedding ring style, you're going to want to pick a metal that's right for you. Each of the below precious metals has multiple price ranges. They're all strong metals that are perfect for daily wear. Most come with a brilliant luster, or you can request a matte finish if you prefer a softer shine. Our bespoke pieces also come with a wide range of customizability that'll help you pick the best combination. Any pre-existing ring we use as examples can be further turned into custom pieces with any wedding and engagement ring style you can think of.
