Choosing the right wedding ring means giving equal thought to several questions: the symbolism of the piece, its beauty, and the fact that it will be worn every day. Here we guide you through the most essential aspects to help you find the perfect ring.

Which metal should you choose for your wedding ring?

As experts in fine jewellery and gemstones, Bonnot Paris offers you a number of avenues to consider when choosing a wedding ring. First of all, are you drawn to yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold?

All three suit both women's and men's wedding rings, with yellow gold offering a more classic look while having the advantage of feeling less “cold”. White gold, on the other hand, has an undeniable modernity and is very easy to wear.

Platinum wedding rings, which tend to appeal more to men, are less common owing to their higher cost. Silver rings, a more affordable metal, are considerably less durable.

When it comes to metal, there are a few essential questions to ask yourself about choosing your wedding rings.

– Should you choose an engagement ring and a wedding ring in the same metal colour? It is not essential. Some women prefer to match them, especially when both are worn on the same finger, but mixing gold tones can create a beautiful effect.

– Should the two wedding rings match in metal? There is absolutely no obligation to do so!

– Should you opt for 18-carat gold? At 75% pure gold and 25% other alloys, 18-carat gold offers excellent durability for jewellery such as wedding rings, while displaying a beautiful lustre and minimising the risk of allergic reactions.

– Can you choose rose gold wedding rings? While they are less commonly sought after, some women favour this gold. In recent years, it has also found its way into men's wedding ring designs.

Budget for wedding rings

The budget you set aside for buying your wedding rings will depend primarily on the importance you place on these symbols of marriage, as well as the possible inclusion of precious stones. Some couples also factor in the cost of the engagement ring when determining their budget.

It is common to allocate a higher budget to the woman's ring, which tends to be more ornate, though this is by no means a rule. Bear in mind that some wedding rings are engraved, which represents an additional cost to account for in your budget.

We offer wedding rings set with precious stones that remain accessible, so you can easily find an elegant band, such as our understated diamond wedding ring.

Remember to order your wedding rings well in advance, in case any adjustments are needed. Two to three months is a good lead time.

Choosing wedding rings that are comfortable for everyday wear

When it comes to choosing a wedding ring, comfort must always be kept in mind, with the correct size being the first and most obvious criterion. How easy the ring is to wear will also depend on your daily activities, whether work or leisure, sport in particular.

A wide band can be less comfortable to wear all day, day after day. Thickness can also play a role, and finding the right balance is key to achieving a wedding ring that is both comfortable and sturdy.

– The half-round shape, domed on the outside and flat on the inside, is a design that resists scratches well and offers the ideal balance between comfort, elegance, and durability.

– The flat band or ribbon shape, with its contemporary look, is favoured for men's wedding rings. It is highly customisable, though flat bands can scratch more easily than domed ones.

Should wedding rings match?

Traditionally, couples wear coordinated wedding rings. The bands complement one another or share a similar style, and the colours are often matched. It is also possible to choose identical rings, as a beautiful symbol of unity.
