      What Are Inlay Rings? Your Complete Guide

      When it comes to rings, so much of the emphasis is on the engagement ring. Everyone wants to see the sparkling gem on that coveted ring.


      Just because the engagement ring is highly anticipated doesn't mean the wedding bands can't be. Wedding bands seal the commitment of your relationship, so you should put just as much thought into them.


      With so many styles of wedding bands, you're bound to find one that you want to represent your marriage. If you want a ring that will stand out, consider an inlay ring. Inlay rings have become increasingly popular over the years due to their unique take on traditional wedding bands. Here's is your guide to this modern style.

      What Are Inlay Rings?




      Inlay rings boast a unique style that mixes different metals, materials, and colors into one ring. This combination of different textures/colors creates a unique ring that stands out among simpler designs.


      An inlay design refers to the style of the ring. A gemstone, wood, or another material is cut to size and set into a cutout, or the "inlay" of the ring material. Often times, you will find precious stones or wood set into a metal like gold or tungsten.


      This style is popular among traditional and modern couples. Many jewelers have put their spin on this classic design. Utilizing different materials allows for a contemporary touch to the classic wedding band.

      The Inlay Ring Trend

      It's not often that you hear about men's jewelry trends. So when you do hear about a trend, it's a good idea to pay attention. The inlay ring trend is definitely one you want to keep your eye on.


      Just looking at the design of inlay rings, you can tell that it's a unique style that is here to stay. Most Inlay rings are also incredibly durable. Since they're strengthened by the combination of metal and resin, they make a great option for anyone looking for a ring that won't scratch or dent easily.


      This style is low maintenance, only requiring an occasional polish using a micro-fiber cloth. This process keeps the ring as shiny as the day your partner put it on your finger.


      When it comes to choosing a style that stands out from the crowd, choosing an inlay ring will give you a unique piece of jewelry to symbolize your marriage.


      Styles of Inlay Rings

      One of the many benefits of inlay rings is the range of options. With so many styles, you're sure to find a material that fits your personality and taste.


      Most inlay rings use metal as the setting, with cobalt, tungsten, titanium, and gold as the most popular options. Here are some of the most favorite styles for inlay wedding rings.

      Gemstone

      You may not have received a large sparkling diamond as an engagement ring. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't get the chance to have a ring that glints and glistens.


      Gemstones inlaid and sealed by resin into a metal base creates a stunning contrasting detail. With gemstone inlay rings, you have a ton of options with color and texture.

      Wood

      Wood offers an incredibly distinct look between the two materials. This unique combination of wood and metal offers a beautiful contemporary look and is perfect for the nature enthusiast. The smooth metal with textured wood creates an effortless style.


      Many kinds of wood look great in an inlay ring. Koa, oak, sandalwood, maple, and walnut are some of the most popular options.

      Ceramic

      If you're looking for a sleek and sophisticated with a natural touch, a ceramic inlay ring will be a great option. One of the benefits of ceramic is that it can come in a variety of colors, so you get the chance to customize the look.


      With ceramic, you can carve and engrave into the material. They come in a highly polished, shiny finish that will last a lifetime.

      Carbon Fiber

      Of all the inlay wedding design, carbon fiber rings are some of the most popular for modern grooms. This material is contemporary and masculine, ideal for anyone who wants a unique and eye-catching design. It's also extremely durable and easy to work with, making it a perfect choice.


      You'll usually find carbon fiber rings in a silver, black, or gunmetal color. But if you want a little color, carbon fiber also comes in grey, blue, and red.
