With endless design possibilities, it’s all about finding that perfect balance between contemporary trends and timeless elegance. Here’s a guide to some hottest trends as well as classic designs to inspire your next custom ring creation.
Engagement Rings
Engagement rings are more than just a piece of jewelry—they’re a symbol of love and commitment. At Alexis Gallery, you can explore a variety of styles and options, blending the latest trends with timeless designs and superior craftsmanship, to create a piece that’s uniquely yours and will be cherished for a lifetime.
Here are some design ideas consider:
Trendy Engagement Rings
- Hidden Halos: Add an extra layer of sparkle with a hidden halo beneath the center stone. It’s a subtle yet dazzling surprise!
- Coloured Gemstones: Break away from tradition with a vibrant sapphire, emerald, or even a unique coloured lab-grown diamond or gemstone. It’s a perfect way to infuse personality into your ring.
- Mixed Metals: Why choose just one metal when you can have two? Mixing white gold with yellow or rose gold can add a modern twist on a classic design.
Timeless Engagement Rings
- Solitaire Diamonds or Gemstones: Classic, elegant, and eternally beautiful. A single, stunning diamond or gemstone on a simple band never goes out of style.
- Three-Stone Rings: Representing your past, present, and future together, three-stone rings offer a meaningful and timeless design.
- Vintage-Inspired: Intricate details, milgrain edges, and filigree work bring a touch of old-world charm to your engagement ring.
Wedding Bands
Wedding bands are a lifelong symbol of commitment and should complement your engagement ring and also be able standing on their own.
Trendy Wedding Bands
- Stackable Bands: Mix and match different textures, stones, and metals to create a personalized stack that’s uniquely yours.
- Eternity Bands: Featuring stones that encircle the entire band, eternity bands offer endless sparkle and elegance. Consider a partial eternity band for more stone security and ability to resize in the future.
- Geometric Designs: Modern, sleek, and often incorporating unique shapes, geometric wedding bands are perfect for those who want a contemporary look.
Timeless Wedding Bands
- Plain Metal Bands: Simple yet sophisticated, plain metal bands in your preferred gold colour or platinum are always a classic choice.
- Pavé Bands: Tiny diamonds or gemstones set closely together create a continuous sparkle, adding a touch of glamour to a timeless design.
- Braided Bands: Symbolizing two intertwined lives, braided bands are meaningful and eternally stylish.
Fashion Rings
Whether you’re looking for a statement piece or something subtle for everyday wear, fashion rings offer endless opportunities for creativity. A benefit is typically these types of rings aren’t made of fine materials or precious gemstones, so they are more accessible. Because they’re less valuable, they’re a great option to swap out for travelling or testing out a new style you’re not sure you want to invest in.
Trendy Fashion/Costume Rings
- Bold Statement Rings: Go big or go home! It’s easy to opt for oversized stones, unique shapes, and intricate designs when you’re purchasing costume/fashion jewellery.
- Dupe-Rings: If you’re thinking about investing in a fine jewellery piece but aren’t sure how you like the design, consider finding a “dupe” or look-alike fashion ring to wear first.
- Fun with Fingers: Often fashion rings are fun to wear on unexpected fingers, like pinky, thumb or pointer finger. This is an easy way to build a unique stack as well.
Anniversary Rings
Mark your special milestones with a custom anniversary ring that symbolizes your enduring love.
Trendy Anniversary Rings
- Infinity Bands: Symbolizing eternal love, infinity bands feature a continuous loop design often embellished with diamonds or gemstones.
- Birthstone Accents: Incorporate both partners’ birthstones into the ring for a personal touch.
- Rose Gold: This trendy metal adds a romantic and modern flair to any design.
Timeless Anniversary Rings
- Classic Diamond or Gemstone Bands: Timeless and elegant, a diamond or gemstone-studded band is a perfect way to commemorate your years together.
- Eternity Bands: Representing everlasting love, eternity bands with diamonds or gemstones encircling the entire band are a classic choice.
- Milgrain Details: Small bead-like details along the band’s edges add a vintage touch that stands the test of time.
