Couples should stick to a few hard and fast rules when searching for a wedding ring
Romantic symbol of love and eternal union marks the beginning of a new page of life that newly-weds will embark on together
Engagement rings may steal the spotlight with their breathtaking tales of proposals and “will you?” stories, but wedding rings are what seal the deal and symbolise the start of married life.
“Wedding bands are a romantic symbol of love and eternal union,” says Arnaud Bastien, president and chief executive of Graff Asia. “They mark the beginning of a new page of life that the newly-weds will embark on together.”
However, with wedding ring designs and styles numbering in the thousands, couples quickly find themselves feeling overwhelmed. To avoid getting stressed out, it’s best to stick to a few hard and fast rules to help you on your search.
As wedding rings are meant to be worn for the remainder of your life, it’s best to think long-term when deciding on a design.
Your ring should be comfortable and its design should match your personal style so it remains as relevant on your golden anniversary as it did on your wedding day.
“We believe personal preference, comfort and lifestyle are the keys to choosing an engagement or wedding ring,” says Stephanie Rault, managing director of Van Cleef & Arpels, Hong Kong and Macau. Rault stresses the need for couples to understand that a wedding ring is essentially “a daily companion for the rest of their life”.
