Rings with overlays
The overlay on a wedding ring is a decorative element that serves as a fastening of the insert to the rim of the ring. The better quality this part is made, the greater the likelihood that the insert will not fly off. It is important that the overlay does not differ from the style of the ring, otherwise the jewelry will look as if someone else’s part was glued to it. Often people mean insert when they talk about overlay. Therefore, it is important to know that they are not the same thing.
Slavic wedding rings

There may be other designs that signify life and fertility.

Fashionable women's rings: the brightest trends
Trends in jewelry fashion are influenced not only by couture shows, but also by popular film premieres, appearances by Hollywood stars, and social trends. For example, the trend for minimalism correlates with the fashion for ergonomic design, and jewelry “with meaning” correlates with the general trend towards awareness. Let's look at the most trendy rings that you will definitely want in your jewelry box.
In the style of minimalism
Despite the fact that the spring-summer 2022 fashion week shows were replete with large gold jewelry, which often overshadowed the outfits, fashionistas around the world are gravitating towards minimalism.

Very thin miniature pieces can be combined with each other not only on one hand, but even on one finger. However, some of the rings are often almost invisible.
Jewelry brands have picked up the trend and offer minimalist jewelry in a variety of designs:
- Made from yellow gold and white metals;
- With circular inlay;
- With patterned weaving;
- Detachable.
The advantage of such products is that fashionable rings combine perfectly with each other, making the outfit exclusive.

Geometric
Minimalism is closely related to geometry. The laconic shape combines well with geometric inserts, and both types of rings look harmonious in a single look. Jewelry with circles, triangles, squares is at the height of fashion. More complex shapes, such as stars, hearts, and space objects, will also be a stylish option to complement the image.
Grandmother's
The trend for conscious consumption has brought vintage back into fashion. Jewelry “from grandma’s box” got a chance to start a new life. But they need to be worn in a modern interpretation. For example, elaborate “Victorian” rings with large stones should be combined within a boho or casual style.
The pathos of precious stones is neutralized by ordinary jeans, and in the company of floral dresses and hand-made accessories, vintage jewelry will sparkle with special colors.
What to do if you don’t have real grandma’s jewelry? Find pseudo-vintage options in the store.
Pay attention to products with semi-precious stones in oval, round and triangular frames. Let the metal look like it has aged: dark gold and blackened silver are perfect.
