Finding the Perfect Wedding Ring: Fenton's Favourite Styles

Finding THE ring is no easy feat. Wedding rings have come a long way from the traditional thin gold band for women and the thick gold band for men. Today, there are endless possibilities when it comes to wedding rings, with coloured gemstones, textured bands, intricate metalwork, and mixed metal colours. Newly-engaged couples are spoilt for choice - and in all the best ways.

But that also means that choosing the perfect ring can be a little overwhelming. While ring shopping is love at first sight for some, it can also mean endless window shopping for others. That's where Fenton comes in. Founded in 2019 by Laura and Kathrin, Fenton is a B-Corp UK jewellery brand specialising in crafting beautiful, affordable fine jewellery.

Drawing on a wealth of knowledge and experience, they've curated a list of favourite wedding ring styles to inspire couples with The Wedding Shop. It might also be helpful to note that all rings with Fenton are customisable, meaning you can create a truly unique ring that reflects your taste.

A Touch of Colour
"We're seeing more and more couples personalising their wedding rings by adding pops of colour. If colour is your thing, you could consider a gemstone that matches your engagement ring or represents your birth, anniversary, or engagement month. 

Adding colour to your wedding ring doesn't mean you have to opt for a more modern style either. You can combine coloured gemstones with traditional rings such as the Seven Stone band - a dazzling choice that will show off your individuality."

Sentimental Simplicity
"There is a lot to be said for the traditional plain band, as it really spotlights your prized engagement ring and looks chic in its own right. If you're drawn to the classic style but want a little je ne sais quoi, the Single Stone band is a great option. A single diamond or your choice of gemstone adds a subtle sparkle to the traditional plain band. You can also customise your ring to make it that bit more sentimental to you and your partner."

For The Maximalist Bride
"If you prefer to make a statement to reflect your bold personality, something like the Duchess band is for you! It's our most extravagant wedding band yet, featuring five sparkling 3.5mm round-cut gemstones, each framed by a sparkling diamond arc. This regal band

is designed with the more maximalist bride in mind, who loves sparkles and making a statement. The Duchess is the perfect choice to wear stacked with a wedfit engagement ring."

Dazzle With Diamonds
"Simple elegance never goes out of style, and the Eternity band is synonymous with just that. With full Diamond coverage over your finger, the Eternity band is perfect for pairing with a plain band engagement ring to add a touch of *sparkle* to your ring stack."

Geometric Designs
"Curved and Chevron bands are one of our most popular styles, born out of practicality to fit round non-wed fit rings. They create a beautifully dynamic pairing with your engagement ring, fitting perfectly around your centre stone.

The exaggerated curve and line accentuate your stone brilliantly, resulting in a modern yet elegant look that will stand the test of time. If you love geometric designs, consider contrasting options like the Chevron band with a round cut engagement ring or the Curved band with an emerald cut to create a cool yet complementary pairing."

Experiment With Texture
"We're also seeing many couples experiment with texture. Unique textures add extra depth to your wedding rings and set them apart from others. One of our couple's favourites is the Milgrain, a classic plain band embedded with tiny beads in your chosen metal, giving it a vintage twist. Couples can even combine both gold and platinum metals through our bespoke service. The options are endless!”

Make It Your Own
With more and more couples steering away from the ‘traditional’ wedding band, unique and personalised design requests are coming to the studio, and we love it! From subtle tweaks to our standard collection to a completely one-off design, couples are going bespoke and designing one-of-a-kind pieces. There’s no better time to get creative and watch your dream creation come to life when it comes to your wedding bands, with you and your partner gaining an experience together that you will cherish.

Engagement and wedding rings symbolise love and commitment but have different meanings. Traditionally, engagement rings are more ornate and expensive than wedding rings. They are given as a marriage proposal, often featuring a centre stone. On the other hand, wedding rings are typically simpler and exchanged during the wedding ceremony.

But nowadays, couples are shaking things up! Some go for extra flashy wedding rings, breaking tradition. Wedding rings are an opportunity to express personal style and individuality, and many couples enjoy picking them out as a team.
