If you’re an unconventional bride who likes to march to the beat of her own drum, the traditional wedding rings might not cut it for you. What you need is something out there. We’re talking non-traditional wedding rings that’ll make people do a double take and designs that are off-the-charts cool. A non-conventional wedding ring is a nod to your unique style and reflects the extraordinary bond you share with your loved one.

But before you go shopping for your non-traditional wedding ring, here are some tips to help you make an informed decision.

Non-Traditional Wedding Bands

Not everyone wants a traditional band to symbolize their relationship. Sometimes, you look for unique, quirky or colourful designs to add character to your wedding ring. And since the wedding ring is one piece of jewellery, you’ll be wearing for a lifetime, you need a ring that you can cherish in the long run. The unconventional ring could also become a heirloom piece passed down through generations – so why pick a boring design?

Non-Traditional Wedding Bands & Rings

Several factors can contribute to the making of non-traditional wedding rings for women and men. Let’s learn about them.

1. Coloured Gemstones

Diamonds are the traditional stone choice for wedding rings. But if you’re looking for an unconventional ring that truly speaks to your soul, coloured gemstones like sapphires, emeralds and rubies are the best alternative stones for wedding rings. You can also opt for other uncommon stones like aquamarine, amethyst, morganite, etc.

To add a personal touch, pick your partner’s birthstone as the centre stone or the birthstone of the month you’re getting married. One thing to note is that the durability of gemstones varies depending on the stone, and the more delicate they are, the more care they’ll require. When choosing a gemstone, consider your lifestyle, research, or talk to your jeweller to find a stone that’s perfect for you.

2. Unique Shapes

If traditional shapes like cushion, pear, round, or oval don’t appeal to you, opt for an uncommonly cut gemstone for your non-traditional wedding bands. You can choose between unconventional shapes like lozenges, half-moons or shields– they’re all pretty amazing and versatile. You could also go for a bigger stone in one of the unique cuts; maybe try a two-stone ring with different shapes or a clustre, luster band with a bunch of smaller stones. There are many fun choices to play with when it comes to non-traditional wedding bands for women.

3. Unique Settings

The setting of a ring refers to how the stone is set or mounted on the band and plays an important role in the design and structure of the ring. Non-traditional wedding sets come in various styles, from vintage-inspired designs to three-stone settings and more. These unconventional styles are becoming increasingly popular and are frequently seen on A-list celebrities. Other alternative wedding ring settings include infinity, clustre, luster, hidden halo, east-west, toi et moi, split shank, and three-stone.
