5 Wedding Band Styles for Couples Who Dare to Be Different
First off, congrats! You’re engaged and soon to be married—how exciting! You’ve been busy planning your ceremony, but one thing you’re still stuck on is the rings. The generic, mass-produced options you’re finding in stores feel too plain and impersonal for your liking.
You want a set that feels more authentic, that tells the story of you and your partner’s bold and unique love! Couples who dare to be different should check out these wedding band styles that are non-traditional, but in turn have more feeling and flair.
The Greek Meander
Since you’re having your wedding in Greece, why not embrace a Greek-inspired style? The meander, or Greek key, is a continuous line that folds back on itself, which resembles the ancient Meander River. This powerful pattern symbolizes infinity and the eternal flow of life. It’s a beautiful, artistic representation of your unending love and connection.
Turquoise Inlays
Turquoise is a bright, beautiful stone that holds deep meaning for many cultures around the world. For example, some Native American tribes consider turquoise rings for men a symbol of protection and strength; a groom might wear the stone as a vow to protect his new family. In Persia, turquoise represents heaven, much like how your match is one made in heaven! The vibrant blue-green hues bring a pop of color to your ring and add a story that a plain metal band can’t.
Mokume Gane Bands
Have you ever heard of Mokume Gane? It’s an ancient Japanese metalwork technique which produces a distinctive layered pattern. The method involves fusing different metals together to create a one-of-a-kind wood grain effect. No two Mokume Gane rings are exactly alike, so your bands will be as unique as your relationship.
Black Zirconium Rings
For a modern and edgy look, black zirconium offers a sleek alternative to traditional metals. This material is incredibly durable and lightweight, which makes it comfortable for everyday wear. You can find styles that are entirely black or feature inlays of precious metals like gold or platinum for a bit of contrast.
Celtic Knot Bands
Celtic knots are a beautiful way to symbolize your union. These intricate, interwoven designs have no beginning or end. They date back to the 3rd century and were used by early Celtic Christians to depict the interconnectedness of life and eternity. With Celtic designs, your rings will carry a deep, personal story that connects your love to ancient traditions of devotion.
You Deserve a Unique Ring Set!
You don’t have to settle for a traditional wedding ring set! Check out these non-traditional styles for couples who dare to be different. These picks feature stones other than diamonds, metals other than platinum, gold, and silver, and details that stand out just like your romance.
