While wedding rings do symbolize a couple’s love and commitment, that doesn’t mean they can’t also be an outstanding fashion accessory as well. After all, wedding rings are one piece of jewelry that is almost never taken off, so it should reflect your personal style and taste.

Two tone metals in the wedding rings as well as the promise ring means that any color anniversary or eternity ring can be added to the set. In some styles of single type of metal wedding rings, corresponding metal bands for the promise and eternity ring can add a really nice detail and combination.

While not everyone considers wearing different types of rings with their wedding rings, it really is a great option. Not only will you have a way to update your wedding rings by just adding a ring or substituting in another, you can also have a different look for different events, while still wearing the rings that are really a fashion statement about you.

This includes starting with a setting of your choice, then also selecting the diamond that will go into the setting. This allows each ring to look slightly different, not at all alike the pre-designed rings in the showroom case. 

In some cases you may wish to include a bigger diamond or a different type of band or setting to a style of wedding rings that you already like. This custom design option allows for this to occur, often while keeping the cost of the ring well within your budget.  Changing different diamonds and different bands from simple to more elaborate can also help you visualize which diamond shape is best suited to the different settings.

With this type of custom designing your wedding rings, it is always a good idea to know what metal you want for the band and setting. This will then allow you to look at what is available as well as what settings will work with the shape of diamond you want.  

Most of the settings and bands available through build it yourself wedding rings will range from simple and elegant through to ornate and highly stylized. Contour bands are very popular and add a depth to the overall appearance of the ring without adding a lot of additional cost.

As can be imagined the setting or mountings in wedding rings will differ based on the size and shape of the diamond. Prongs on the setting hold the diamond into position on the ring and keep it secured. Some settings, like the high cathedral settings seen on solitaire style rings are designed to add to the appearance of the ring by elevating the diamond off the band.

Building your own wedding rings also provides options for adding diamond chips in various styles to the band. Pave or channel style settings around the central diamond are popular and beautiful. These types of rings are also perfect for matching with a wide variety of styles of eternity bands and anniversary rings later on.

Even if you aren’t trying to stay on a budget, customizing or building your own wedding rings is a great experience. It not only allows you to have one of a kind wedding rings but it also is a great way to start your life together.
