Do Couples Pick The Wedding Rings Together?

The simple answer is yes. A lot of couples want to create a moment just as special as the proposal, so yes, designing and purchasing their wedding rings together is very common.

Traditionally, the wedding band was a gift from the families, especially if there was a dowry involved. But over time, as humans have evolved, picking out the wedding ring for both partners has become a joint effort.

Wedding bands often get overlooked and left as an afterthought. But we believe it deserves just as much attention to detail as the engagement ring. This is the ring that solidifies the commitment between two lives. It is the ring that requires more attention due to the already existing engagement ring. Do you want to match the engagement ring? Do you want to match your partner’s style? Does the engagement ring allow for a flush wedding band? These are all questions that are commonly asked when left too late to design your wedding ring.

At Larsen Jewellery, we believe that purchasing your wedding ring should be just as special as buying your engagement ring. This was the concept that was the foundation for Larsen Jewellery, essentially where the Wedding Ring Experience was created. Here, you and your partner can design and craft your wedding bands from scratch right at the studio. An experience that not many studios in Australia offer.

Other than building your rings together, what are the main things couples think about when shopping together for their wedding rings?

1. Style Harmony: Wedding rings represent the couple’s commitment and are worn daily. Choosing them together ensures both parties find rings that reflect their personal style and preferences.
2. Budget Considerations: Wedding planning costs can add up, and the rings are a big part of that. Though traditionally the engagement ring gets most of the attention, couples are now allocating a significant budget to their wedding rings. Shopping together allows you to be open and honest about your finances and find options that suit you both.
3. Lifestyle Compatibility: More and more couples are considering their lifestyles when choosing wedding rings. If you work with your hands or play a lot of sports, you’ll want a durable, low-profile ring. This is something you and your partner can discuss together to ensure your rings fit seamlessly into your lives.
4. Metal Choice: From classic gold to modern platinum, the metal you choose for your wedding ring is a big decision. Consider factors like durability, maintenance, and whether you have any metal allergies.
5. Stone Settings: While traditionally wedding rings were plain bands, many couples now opt for rings with stones. If you like diamonds or other gemstones, you’ll want to discuss the setting style, size, and cut with your partner.
6. Comfort and Fit: You’ll be wearing your wedding ring every day, so comfort is key. When shopping together, you can both try on different styles and widths to find a ring that feels perfect on your finger.
7. Ethical Sourcing: For many couples, it’s important to choose wedding rings that are ethically sourced and environmentally responsible. When shopping together, you can research jewellers who prioritise sustainable practices.

Choosing your wedding rings together is not only significant but also a memorable moment that both parties get to experience together on their journey. It is the one chance they get to truly express both their individual styles and celebrate a moment that is shared. Finding the perfect symbols of love that both parties will cherish for a lifetime.
