Simple wedding ring designs

There is nothing more beautiful than a simple band of metal.

My work and design ethic is to keep it simple and do it well, something I often try to teach to students. Wedding bands illustrate this perfectly.

Here are some examples how one simple band of metal can look so different. Hopefully it may inspire you.

Contemporary Eternity Rings

Eternity rings are still very much in demand. Ladies often drop hints at the same time they buy their wedding band that an eternity ring is desired! There is no specific time that dictates if or when an eternity ring is worn.

Here are a few examples of some eternity rings I have made.

Silver and diamond ring.

This ring is available to purchase online, although I have made many variations; gold, silver, platinum and palladium – with varying numbers and sizes of diamonds to suit all budgets. This design works beautifully with coloured diamonds and stones too. Below is a ring with set with 46 diamonds around the whole ring.

Diamonds set around the whole band.

9k white gold eternity ring.

The above engagement and eternity ring was made to commission. The eternity ring is channel set with 30 square diamonds, covering half the circumference of the band. The ring is 2mm wide.

Current collection of contemporary wedding and engagement rings

Many of my designs make beautiful contemporary engagement and wedding rings. I can tailor the design to your choice of metal, budget and size of diamond or stone. I work in silver, 18k gold and platinum. I offer a range of single band rings, set with diamonds and coloured stones. The ring below is platinum and diamond. See my online shop for more rings.

Contemporary platinum and diamond engagement ring

My multiple band rings make perfect wedding and engagement rings all in one. Many people now prefer just one ring that is practical and comfortable to wear everyday.

Or perhaps you just want a wedding band but with a little sparkle too. Sometimes people choose this style because they feel the bands represent members of their family and the loop being significant in that it holds everything together. Contact me for a price for the ring below.

Another option is to have triple bands, but they are not linked together so you still have the option to wear them separately. The diamond ring below can be worn beautifully on its own, with wedding bands either side, or just the bands alone. There are many combinations and options possible.

Commission your wedding rings

18k gold wedding ring commission with the date engraved inside.

I work to commission to allow you to have input into your rings and have exactly what you want. This may include different size diamonds, different metals, different stones or different band widths. You may already have an engagement ring that requires more than a simple band, perhaps shaped to fit around your ring, or diamonds set in the band to reflect the character of the engagement ring. As a final touch you can have the date or a message engraved inside the wedding band.

If you are interested in this please do get in touch. I can work by email or phone, though if you are nearby you are welcome to visit the studio.

Please allow at least 4 weeks for your ring to be made, I can sometimes finish sooner, so do get in touch for an accurate delivery time. I have also written an in-depth blog post about commissioning jewellery.

It is important to say that I will not copy designs from another maker or company. Commissioning is based on the style of my own work.

Here are some more examples of wedding sets I have made recently.
