First, Some Background

Ring wraps, also known as ring enhancers, are designed specifically to enhance the aesthetic of any existing ring, and they especially look great with solitaires. In most cases, these ring wraps are embellished with diamond or gemstone accents that beautifully surround the center stone and make it appear larger and more brilliant.

Why Should You Get One?

1. Fresh new look: The beauty of a ring can be enhanced ten-fold when it is styled correctly. The wrap/enhancer helps you achieve that by placing the spotlight on the center stone and infusing an element of extravagance to the piece. What’s more, by switching between different enhancers, you can experiment with a variety of looks for your ring.

2. They will protect your stone: This is one of the biggest USPs of a ring wrap. It protects your gemstone by creating an extra barrier that safeguards the jewel from any accidental blows.

Designs

The ring enhancer can vary significantly in terms of design. However, below we’ve mentioned some of the most popular options available.

1. Round double band: As the name suggests, this one showcases two sleek wedding bands that are typically embellished with diamonds. Some variations also showcase different vintage elements, like milgrain detailing, for a timeless look.

2. Curved halo wrap: It is characterized by the presence of a slight curve on the top and bottom portions of the wrap. They encircle the center stone and lock it in place. But most importantly, this design creates a halo around the solitaire for a truly opulent look.

Things to Keep in Mind When Buying a Ring Wrap

1. Pay attention to the size: In most cases, size is everything. A tight ring wrap can end up damaging your gemstone, while a loose one won’t give you the desired results. Keeping this in mind, remember to pick a piece that fits snugly around your jewel but isn’t tight enough to remove.

2. Pick the right metal: The main objective of a wrap is to infuse drama into your ring. As such, both the items must be crafted from the same metal to create a cohesive look. For example, if you have a rose gold ring, ensure that the wrap you choose is also of the same metal.

3. Pay attention to the gemstone: If you have a peridot solitaire ring, then pairing it up with an enhancer featuring sapphires will create a color clash, and the result will not be appealing. To be on the safe side, we recommend opting for a wrap embellished with diamonds. This jewel complements all colored gems and will also help enhance the overall brilliance of the piece.

So go ahead and get yourself a ring wrap. We promise you won’t be disappointed!
