Planning your wedding is a whirlwind of excitement, and choosing the perfect wedding band, a symbol of your enduring love, is a truly special part of the journey. At Kolmio, we understand the significance of this piece, and we're here to guide you in selecting a ring that you'll cherish for a lifetime.
Lead Time: Planning Ahead for a Perfect Fit
Ideally, designing your wedding band alongside your engagement ring ensures a harmonious pairing and a seamless fit. We'll provide you with a visual of your combined design, allowing you to envision the final result. However, if you're beginning the process after the proposal, it's essential to start early. We recommend initiating the design process at least three months before your wedding date to allow ample time for creation and any necessary adjustments.
Budget and Aesthetic: Reflecting Your Unique Style
Wedding band prices vary depending on the design, metal, and gemstones you choose. Establishing a budget beforehand will help us guide you towards options that align with your financial goals and personal taste.
Consider your individual aesthetic and preferences. Do you envision a statement wedding ring stack or a more understated, minimalist design? Would you prefer to wear your wedding band on a different finger? Are you drawn to the sparkle of a diamond band or the classic simplicity of a plain metal band? Explore our collection of rings online for inspiration, or better yet, book an appointment with our founder to experience the pieces firsthand. Seeing and feeling the rings in person can make all the difference.
Mixing Metals: A Story of Unique Style
At Kolmio, we adore the artistry of mixed metal stacks! Combining different gold colours adds visual interest and tells a unique story about your love. Our expert tip for mixing metals is to maintain the same gold karat. If your engagement ring is crafted from 18ct gold (whether yellow, rose, or white), choose an 18ct gold wedding band to ensure consistency in quality and appearance.
Lifestyle Considerations: Rings for Every Moment
Your wedding band should seamlessly integrate into your lifestyle. If you lead an active life or work frequently with your hands, a simpler, more durable design might be the most practical choice. A plain metal wedding band is an excellent option for those seeking a low-maintenance yet elegant piece. Diamond wedding rings, while undeniably beautiful, require more care and attention. We encourage you to consult our comprehensive care guide to learn how to best preserve the brilliance and longevity of your cherished pieces.
Milestones and Memories: Building Your Heirloom Stack
Adding rings to your wedding stack to commemorate personal milestones is a beautiful way to chronicle your unique love story. Some choose to add rings to their original wedding set, while others prefer to wear anniversary and push present bands on different fingers. There are no set rules - have fun curating a collection that reflects your individual journey and celebrates each special moment.
