Your wedding day is just around the corner and we know
you have a lot on your plate: cake tasting, menu decisions,
seating arrangements, and dress fittings, just to name a
few. With everything that goes into planning your big day,
we at Bishops Jewelry have decided to make shopping for
your wedding band easier by creating this super handy
guide.
Make It A Date
Share this moment with that special someone. Make it a date. The two of you can explore our
many options together and find your bands at the same time. We want this to be a moment you
both remember. If you can’t bring them along for whatever reason, use our guide to help you
decide what you want in a ring before you come to our showroom.
Styles - Straight vs Contoured
There are several styles to choose from and they are all equally beautiful in their own way. The
first step in choosing a ring is to take your engagement ring into consideration. Are there natural
curves on the ring? Does the center gem protrude? Does your ring have a halo around the center
diamond? If so, the wedding band should be contoured in order to have a better fit- both on your
finger and with the engagement ring. These contoured bands, also known as shadow bands, are
designed to sit flush next to that beautiful engagement ring. There are also amazing flex bands
that will complement just about any design of engagement ring. If a minute gap of a millimeter or
two doesn’t bother you, then you can choose whichever ring suits you best. In the end it is a
matter of personal preference.
Custom Bands
If you are having trouble finding that perfect compliment to your engagement ring, then have no
fear. Just stop by our showroom where we have a hands-on custom ring design process. Our
highly trained staff will work with you from start to finish to design that perfect ring for you. We
even have a 3D printer to help you realize your dream. Designs are limited only by your
imagination. This process will make your band truly unique and it typically takes 3-4 weeks for a
full turnaround.
Wearing the Wedding Band Separately
Depending on your lifestyle (whether you’re a doctor or in construction), you will want to be
comfortable on the job and sometimes that means wearing the wedding band by itself. So you
should keep this in mind when picking out your wedding band. You are going to want a ring that
both complements your engagement ring but is also stunning in its own right. Most importantly,
you are going to want to love this ring on its own. Remember, this is the band that symbolizes
your love for your significant other so make it special.
We here at Bishops Jewelry want to make your forever easier so do not hesitate to contact us or
stop by our showroom if you have any questions.
