A wedding ring is a symbolic decoration that reflects a person’s status. What it will be like directly depends on the choice of the couple. If earlier rings had a standard appearance, mostly a smooth surface, now they have various variations that amaze with their beauty and originality.
It is not at all surprising that newlyweds are increasingly seeking to purchase unusual wedding rings that would fully reflect the power of feelings and have a special meaning for lovers. Fortunately, jewelers are able to make almost any idea of the newlyweds come true: take a white gold ornament as a basis, experiment with the shape of the jewelry, or adopt any other ideas.
Square
Clear shapes and stylish design are the main characteristics of square rings. They are not full of chic and glamor; on the contrary, they are a reflection of simplicity, which is attractive in its own way.
Let's list the main advantages of square rings:
- they are very comfortable to wear;
- a large selection of products of similar shapes;
- original appearance.
To make such an extraordinary ring, any material you like is suitable: gold, silver or even platinum. Classic round shapes are gradually decreasing their relevance in the jewelry market. Even despite their higher cost, square rings are already gaining popularity.
If you decorate a product with precious stones, the effect of originality is significantly enhanced, and a note of nobility appears . Considering that the thickness of the jewelry allows you to create a unique design and make personalized engravings, this can and should be used. Flat shapes are all the rage right now.
Rest assured: rings look very beautiful and at the same time unusual on your hand. A vintage pattern can complement the design.
Wedding rings with cut and engraving 2021-2022
Cutting and engraving is another option for a beautiful and stylish solution for wedding rings. It's practical, cute, modest, but at the same time tasteful. Engraving is an inscription on the inside of the ring. For wedding jewelry, the names of the spouses, identical sentences, or a phrase “broken” into two parts are most often chosen. Quite romantic, isn't it?
Cutting – jewelry inserts of stones into rings. This is not considered full-fledged jewelry, but it still looks solid and beautiful.
Such jewelry, as a rule, costs more than classic ones, but is cheaper than with jewelry - such rings are light and do not require a lot of material, hence the lower price. But, if you are a supporter of restraint, but at the same time want some kind of individuality, these two options are just for you.
In the style of “plus and minus”
If you are a fan of something unique and extraordinary, then pay attention to paired rings made using the plus and minus technique. Such a choice will demonstrate to others the unity of your union, the desire to always be together.
The main advantage is the originality of the product; it is unlikely to come across a similar shape from someone else. The essence of this style is that one ring is a continuation or an integral part of the other.
For example, on the groom’s finger there is a decoration with the image of a neat bolt, and the bride, accordingly, will have a precious nut. Agree, this option simply “breathes” originality. You can also depict part of the heart on the ring, and the second part on the second ring. By placing both products next to each other, you will get a full-fledged heart shape.
You can choose different metal, it all depends on individual and taste preferences.
Fashionable wedding rings 2022 2023: unusual shapes
A through pattern is another trend for the wedding season 2022 2023. Designers advise you to give preference to jewelry with curved rims, all kinds of engravings and decor in the form of relief molding. The only caveat is that when buying a ring of a non-standard shape, be sure to try it on. Otherwise, you risk experiencing constant discomfort while wearing this jewelry.
Nest shaped
For those couples who choose their wedding rings creatively, we can offer an option that has the shape of a nest. Such rings can become a real family heirloom that will be passed on from generation to generation.
This form is a symbol of family comfort, coziness and love.
The best metal here would be silver; it will fit more harmoniously into the style. The jewelry store does not always have ready-made products of the desired type in stock, so you will have to make an individual order.
Make sure that your wedding jewelry is not only beautiful, but also of high quality. The main advantage of such rings, as you yourself understand, is their original appearance.
Your choice will attract curious glances, be prepared for this. Also, such a shape will have a special meaning for the couple.
Who is suitable for wedding rings with an unusual design?
Unusual paired wedding rings should be chosen by those newlyweds who:
- they do not like simplicity and routine; they consider classics and traditions boring and outdated;
- have creativity and an agile mind - such people can even develop a design for jewelry themselves;
- do not consider themselves to be part of the generally accepted “format” and strive to express themselves not only through behavior or worldview, but also through appearance;
- they want to capture an important moment in life with something tangible - an unusual wedding ring, for example.
Non-standard jewelry is suitable for those who are not afraid of other people’s opinions and want to challenge society. In addition, for some people, original accessories are a kind of symbol of belonging to a new family, a kind of secret, the meaning of which is known only to two.
With inscriptions in Braille
Many lovers really like rings that have engraving. The inscription embossed on the ring in a special Braille font will become a unique feature of the jewelry.
In general, this font was created for people who are completely or partially blind. Therefore, if a couple has such a problem, rings of this type will be very useful. Knowing the technique of such writing, you can read the text on the wedding ring.
To do this, you need to run your finger over the surface of the decoration. Some lovers, even without vision pathologies, make their choice in favor of such rings. For them, such inscriptions are a kind of mysterious code that only they know.
The advantage is that you can write whatever your heart desires without limiting your imagination.
For example, it would be original to have such a banal but meaningful phrase on your ring: “I love you.”
To get an exclusive version, this phrase can be repeated in different languages of the world. Such inscriptions can be placed on gold, silver and platinum. If you can afford more expensive options, then feel free to choose white or black gold.
The design of the ring can be different, for example, the shape with the image of a heart is widespread. You can complement the decoration with openwork inserts. The outer side can have smooth shapes, and the inscription itself will be placed on the inner side.
But there can also be corrugation on the outside. It all depends on your desire.
Stylish wedding rings 2022 2023: yellow gold
Wedding rings made of yellow will not be relegated to the background. In 2022-2023, designers decided to refresh classic monochromatic models with splashes of white gold. This decoration will certainly be appreciated by girls who find it extremely difficult to decide what color wedding accessory they want to see on their hand. This combination of metals is quite symbolic, since it represents the union of two loving hearts, which also merge together and create something completely new and beautiful.
With unusual engraving
Sometimes you really want your wedding ring to be different from everyone else, so that it is original and at the same time attracts attention.
In this case, you need to think about engravings.
You can simply make corrugated patterns on a matte surface - it’s beautiful, but banal. Slavic motifs on the product will look more unusual; this is a kind of engraving-amulet.
If you want something even more non-standard, then feel free to choose this option - an image of a cardiogram. Yes Yes! The beat of a lover's heart will be displayed on your ring. The groom can wear the bride's cardiogram on his finger, and she, in turn, wears his heartbeat.
Of course, it is impossible to say that the prices for such products will be cheap. After all, the jewelry will be made to order individually for the couple.
To get a clearer and clearer design, it is better to choose a wide decoration, the main thing is that the size is chosen correctly.
An example would be Soviet wedding rings; they were distinguished by significant thickness and width. Engraving on them is not difficult. You can engrave any inscription on the product in any language of the world or simply make personalized engravings.
Initials are also often embossed with some beautiful pattern. To be sure of the quality of the product, purchase designer brands in famous luxury salons. You can, of course, order the product via the Internet, but in this case you will not be able to see all the nuances of the decoration in the photograph.
Pay attention to Italian luxury jewelry stores; they have a wide range of high-quality and high-quality work.
Options for original wedding rings
Just a few decades ago, lovers had to contact jewelers with a personal order or make original accessories themselves. Now many stores and chains are ready to offer unusual wedding rings. The following materials can be used for manufacturing:
- epoxy resin;
- plastic;
- metal extracted from meteorites;
- tree;
- fabric and leather.
They are also now experimenting with the shape of accessories. They are made in the form of a vine wrapping around a finger, a crown, woven threads and knots, or a car tire. Fashionable wedding rings are often engraved. This could be the names of the newlyweds, the wedding date, heart rate, and even a recording of a sound wave during a declaration of love.
Products with a path made of stones look original. Many topazes, garnets, rubies, and diamonds placed next to each other attract attention with their radiance. By the way, it is not at all necessary to spend money on natural stones; substitutes are also suitable for the original ring.
It is believed that a wedding accessory should be gold. But this is nothing more than a relic of the past. Previously, people needed to demonstrate their wealth, so large items made of yellow metal were in fashion. Nowadays taste and design are more valued than cost, so for a wedding you can buy silver wedding rings of an interesting shape or with an unusual inlay.

Combined wedding rings
Accessories with interesting designs, made from several metals or different gold grades, have recently become popular among newlyweds. Original wedding rings are made using three technologies:
- Rhodium plating. Part of the surface of the product is coated with a layer of rhodium, after which it looks like white gold. This is the simplest and cheapest option.
- Soldering. In this case, the jeweler makes several fragments, which he then combines into one. These can be unusual rings made of three types of gold or silver.
- Sintering. A method of processing a workpiece at high temperatures and pressure. Different parts of the product are placed in a special oven that heats up to 810 degrees. Under the influence of pressure of 4 atmospheres, the workpieces are connected at the molecular level. Only an accessory manufactured in this way can be called a dual-alloy ring.
Double wedding rings
These accessories consist of several parts that can be soldered, intertwined or chained together. They are also additionally decorated with precious stones or engraved. A double women's wedding ring is a stylish and fashionable accessory that will show not only the marital status, but also the social status of the owner.
The modern market offers a huge number of models and varieties of such decoration. A double ring with diamonds will be quite expensive. If your budget does not allow such expenses, you can purchase a simple silver item.
Three-ring models are quite popular. Very often they can be transformed into another piece of jewelry or disassembled into parts that are worn separately.

Square wedding rings
Angular and brutal-looking accessories are very popular among the stronger sex. Some models are stylized as a signet. A square men's wedding ring is polished during the manufacturing process so that there are no sharp corners.
The product itself can be round for ease of wearing. But its front part is square.
This decoration looks especially good with one large stone or a path of small stones. Despite their overtly “masculine” appearance, interesting square-shaped wedding rings are also popular among girls. True, women's models are often a little thinner and more graceful.
Fingerprint rings
Unique gold or silver accessories with images have become widespread in the last few years. Fingerprint wedding rings are engraved or embossed.
These can be either ordinary round products or accessories of unusual shapes. A non-standard wedding ring is additionally decorated with a precious stone, glass, and so on.
A piece of jewelry with such a noticeable detail as an engraving in the form of a fingerprint can easily be “overloaded” with inlay or enamel.
Matte wedding rings
Such accessories differ from others in that they retain their original appearance for a long time. Scratches are almost invisible on their surface, and the lack of glossy shine allows them to be worn with business suits.
Fashionable wedding rings with a matte surface are produced using the following technologies:
- Sandblasting. The decoration is treated with a device that creates a powerful air flow with grains of sand. Small particles cause many micro-scratches, resulting in matting.
- Satin finish. In essence, this is grinding in several stages. It is carried out until a smooth surface is formed.
- Brushing. Making a lot of scratches with a small wire brush.
Matte wedding rings can be additionally engraved or be part of a combined product.
Carved wedding rings
Products with a touch of antiquity and aristocracy will not only decorate a wedding, but will also become a family heirloom over time. The accessories do not require inlay or engraving, as they look amazing without it.
Carved rings can be made according to Slavic, Celtic, Scandinavian, Vedic motifs. But sometimes there are models that look like the openwork clothes of nobles of past centuries.
A slightly frivolous, light, elegant product will emphasize the youth and beauty of the bride, so a lace wedding ring is more suitable for women. Such products are produced in several ways.
Gold wedding ring (go to the SUNLIGHT catalogue)
Old-school jewelers prefer to work by hand, using special brushes and rasps. Mass-produced openwork wedding rings are produced on automated machines and processed with grinding equipment.
If you need to purchase accessories for the bride and groom in the same style, but the stronger half of the couple is not ready to wear lace, it is recommended to pay attention to fluted jewelry. The rings remain intact, but various patterns are applied to their surface. These can be ornaments, waves, diamond cuts. In addition, models with pigtails are considered quite popular. Products with diamonds look expensive and status-worthy. But wedding rings with a pattern can be quite budget-friendly, for example, silver models.
Accessories consisting of several twisted metal rods look quite interesting. The materials used are gold, platinum, tungsten, silver, and copper. Braided rings can be made from precious metals of different types and grades.
Wedding rings with enamel
Jewelry with such a coating has been known to mankind for about one and a half thousand years. They were first made in the Byzantine Empire. On the territory of Rus', accessories were produced using the “enamel” technique, which is closely related to the construction of temples and churches.
Why you should pay attention to rings with enamel:
- The special combination of metal and glass provides an attractive shine and unique shimmer.
- The products can be used for everyday wear or worn on holidays.
- Accessories with colored enamel are most often made by hand, so you will receive original products that no one else has.
Patterned rings suit both women and men equally well. Among the fair half of humanity, light enamel colors are popular, while the stronger half prefers black, blue, and emerald green.

Double rotating rings
The rings made from a double rotating base look quite interesting.
The bottom line is that the products are different, one ring can be made of gold, and the other from platinum or silver.
In this case, the first option may have a matte surface, and the second is decorated with precious stones or diamonds. The main advantage is that when you buy one product, you actually wear two.
It is often difficult to make a choice between metals; it is in such a situation that you can resort to buying such a useful ring.
Same or different wedding rings 2021-2022
Everyone is accustomed to the fact that spouses’ rings are identical in design - this is an unspoken rule that is very rarely violated. If you decide to choose different rings for yourself and your spouse, be prepared for the possible reaction of others.
Why do many people choose identical rings?
Well, firstly, this is, again, an unspoken tradition. It has been going on for quite a long time - it is believed that wearing different rings is a bad omen for spouses. And then, the question and sense of aesthetics also play a role here - if a man and a woman have the same rings, it is immediately clear that they are a family, they make up something integral.
Rings, roughly speaking, are a symbol of belonging and fidelity of one spouse to another, so identical jewelry seems something logical and understandable.
But in the modern world, this feature is completely optional - rings can be similar, identical, or completely different. Identical ones are similar in design, but still have differences, say, in the number of stones (if any) or the shape, thickness of the ring, but the differences are rarely striking. If you don't look closely, these rings can be called identical.
As for completely different rings, that’s a personal matter for everyone. The fact that you have different rings will not stop you from being a married couple, so there is nothing special about all this. Different rings can be chosen by spouses if they want a different design, or one of them has a more elaborate ring, and the other does not want such luxury - there can be a great many reasons, and no one has the right to limit you. But still, if you believe in omens, such rings have some common feature - the same engraving is best suited. It’s only your business here – it’s only a matter of your wishes and tastes.
In the form of car tires
Car enthusiasts can combine business with pleasure. You can admire the tires on your fingers. No matter how strange and unusual it may sound, it is quite real and doable. Jewelers make precious and high-quality replicas of car tires with great precision.
On the back of the ring you can emboss the names of the newlyweds or the wedding date. Such rings are an original gift for each other. The choice of such jewelry is made by extreme individuals who respect drive and speed. The best material in this case is gold.
Moreover, it can have any shade you like, for example, pink or black.
BRILLIANT PROSPECTS
Keeping in mind the tradition - the well-known laconicism of wedding rings, designers do not intend to sacrifice style: the decoration becomes a marker of individuality. And here a whole “imaginarium” of decorative means comes into play: a matte or glossy metal surface, round or baguette-cut stones, engraved patterns, spectacular pavé inlay or a sparkling longitudinal path at the end of the shank. Carving out the maximum from the texture of the metal and inserts, jewelers make the “most faithful” jewelry the most brilliant. In all senses!
In the form of chains
To display your feelings on your wedding rings, you can order them in the form of chains that are tightly intertwined with each other. The material can be either gold or silver.
A chain on a woman’s finger will look more delicate if you add small gemstones to the product. A man does not need to complement the accessory with anything. This form can become a source of pride for the family and be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.
Instead of chains, some people choose braids, but the essence remains the same.
Funny cool wedding rings
Creative and imaginative people approach everything with humor. This also applies to wedding celebrations; if a couple considers themselves such, then they should choose cool wedding rings . Such rings can be paired square wedding rings, made in the shape of an equal quadrangle, or rotating wedding rings. Wedding rings with the fingerprints of the newlyweds will bring a smile to your face. They are made with a fingerprint pattern. This will be truly exclusive. After all, there is no such fingerprint anywhere else. The pattern can be made both on the outside of the ring and on the inside. Otherwise it is a regular gold ring. You can choose any width, as well as the material from which to make the decoration. This does not mean that the product will be devoid of a precious stone. If desired, he can insert a stone into a square ring or into any other.
Custom wedding rings
With the fingerprints of the young
It’s already difficult to surprise designers with anything, since their work involves the most unusual and surprising orders.
As an example, we can imagine products on which the fingerprints of two loving people are located. Having such jewelry, you will always feel a part of your spouse on you.
Such products will be valued much more than the usual classic options.
Engagement rings 2021-2022 with stones
First, you need to figure out what types of stones are and how they differ from each other?
- Ornamental stones – jade, coral, jasper, amber;
- Semi-precious – amethyst, garnet, turquoise;
- Diamond, emerald, pearl.
Here, oddly enough, you need to rely on your own feelings: it is known that stones have their own energy, so you need to choose the jewelry that makes you “like” and want to wear it.
If the stone is “yours”, then you will not feel it difficult and burdensome to wear the ring - but if this jewelry is clearly not for you, then you will feel it the first time you try it on. Don't chase prestige and fashion - wear what is comfortable for you.
The only difficulty that may arise here is the selection of identical stones for both spouses. In most cases, you will have to try hard to find exactly the stone that suits both you and your spouse. But also keep in mind that such rings will cost more than classic or faceted ones.
TARIFF "COMFORT"
A separate point is made about ideal ergonomics: the “new” rings are almost not felt on the finger, they are easy to put on and take off. They are designed for prolonged wear, which is obvious for this type of jewelry, so the proportions of the shank are adjusted down to the millimeter, and the fit is tested taking into account the above-mentioned duet jewelry: both rings must live together. Modern newlyweds are not ready to give up comfort in favor of beauty, and modern technologies are ready to reciprocate their requests ❤️
