Wedding rings symbolize your vows and your status as a married duo. While many couples select simple gold or platinum wedding bands, others may favor wedding rings with a little more flair.
Non-traditional wedding rings have increased in popularity as new technologies, like 3D printing, have streamlined and helped lower the cost of rings that don’t fit the traditional mold, whether those are wedding rings with unique embellishments or rings that are custom-designed. The custom ring process allows couples to play with new styles and details to create rings that reflect their love, their vows and their forever future.
The sky’s the limit for non-traditional wedding bands, born from the couple’s imagination and the individual’s perception of wedding band perfection. Limitations for this process exist only by a couple’s budget; elements like gemstones, diamonds, laser details and even prehistoric inlays paint designs and breathe life into each symbolic style.
Non-traditional wedding bands can be funky, fun, delicate or boldly beautiful. Here are a few creations inspired by real-life couples:
