Start looking ahead of time
Wedding preparations take up a significant amount of time. A venue needs to be organised, the guest list needs to be compiled, a menu chosen, and you need to find a stunning wedding dress. It is important to start on all of this in sufficient time, so nothing gets overlooked. Be sure to start looking for the right wedding rings in time therefore. This allows you to consider several options, so you can be certain you've found the right wedding ring for you.
What is your wedding ring budget? Ideally, you should include this in your total wedding budget. At BAUNAT you will find weddings rings for him and for her across different price ranges: from styles without any diamonds for around €350 to rings set with stunning diamonds for more than €6000.
Bear your lifestyle in mind
Your lifestyle is also a key factor when choosing your wedding ring. When choosing a wedding ring for a man or woman who undertakes a lot of manual work then particular settings are recommended over others.
A wedding ring must be stylish, comfortable and of good quality.
All BAUNAT diamond rings are premium quality, so the likelihood of losing a diamond is minimal. Nonetheless, for example, a solitaire setting with prongs will be more fragile than a bezel or channel setting. Nor is a tension set ring, where the diamond is held in place purely through pressure, a recommended choice if you carry out manual work.
Bear the ring's upkeep in mind
Because you wear your wedding ring on a daily basis it requires good upkeep. To clean, leave it to soak for around half an hour in lukewarm water. Do not add any products to the water apart from standard (chemical-free) soap. Afterwards, polish the ring itself and the diamond with a soft toothbrush. But, of course, you can always pop into your BAUNAT jeweller to have it professionally cleaned.
By a classic wedding ring we mean a ring without diamonds. This dates back to the time still when diamonds on (wedding) rings weren't commonplace. Nowadays it is definitely still an option to go for a wedding ring without diamonds. This design is very sleek in design and boasts a timeless appearance.
Personalised wedding rings
The classic wedding ring is easy to personalise with, for example, an engraving. Engraving a wedding ring is the best way of giving it a personal touch. What to engrave on your wedding ring? Is there a particular saying that typifies you as a couple? Why not have it engraved on your wedding ring? Other popular engravings are your wedding date or both your names.
Diamond wedding rings
For a truly stunning ring have your wedding ring set with one or multiple diamonds. You can choose a solitaire or a style that has several diamonds. For example, an eternity ring is an elegant choice. This style is set all around with diamonds and is highly symbolic. The diamonds are infinite, just as the love between you and your partner.
Original wedding rings for men are rings set with black diamonds. They are sophisticated and manly and sparkle just as lustrously as rings with colourless diamonds.

The design of your wedding ring
Another choice to be made is the band width of the ring. A woman's wedding ring is often slenderer, whereas men frequently opt for a wider ring. That isn't illogical really: men have bigger hands and wider, longer fingers than women.
A further distinction are flat and rounded rings. The difference is particularly noticeable with rings without diamonds. This is not so noticeable with eternity rings, for example.

Which precious metal to choose?
BAUNAT offers the choice between white, yellow, red gold and platinum precious metals. Rings made of different precious metals are even possible. Here is a brief summary of the different precious metals.
Platinum is one of the most durable metals on earth and is frequently used in jewellery. It is exceptionally strong and is also hypoallergenic. Because of its durability and rarity, it is more expensive than gold. A platinum ring can be combined with different coloured precious stones, but a colourless diamond sparkles lustrously in a platinum ring too.
Yellow gold is an exceptionally classic precious metal for a wedding ring. The muted, appealing gleam will certainly appeal. Yellow gold rings look truly stunning with yellow diamonds, and we have some in our collection.

White gold
A white gold ring sparkles just as much as a platinum ring through a layer of rhodium. It will sparkle even more when combined with a colourless diamond. It is the most popular precious metal chosen for wedding rings, both for him and for her.
Red gold
A red gold ring really does have a vintage look & feel. This precious metal is best combined with a colourless diamond to staggering effect. Red gold is opted for less frequently, so it results in highly original wedding rings. with the vintage revival, its popularity will most likely soar.
Determining your correct wedding ring size
Before buying a wedding ring you must of course be sure of your partner's ring size, as well as your own. This is very easy to ascertain if you already have a ring that fits you well. If you don't, you can use a ring sizer or you can pop into one of our showrooms to have your ring size measured.
Slide the ring sizer onto the finger you shall wear the ring on and adjust until it sits comfortably. Then simply read the size. Order a free plastic ring sizer from BAUNAT now or print off a hard copy.
Do we buy matching rings or not?
Fewer couples deem it as important nowadays to have identical wedding rings. They might differ in width, but increasingly two entirely different wedding rings are opted for. Indeed, with a lot of couples both partners have completely different tastes and personal styles. Which is why they buy different wedding rings. One option could be though to go for the same colours and materials, by both choosing a red gold ring, for example.
Naturally, the option to buy matching wedding rings is always possible. At BAUNAT we have a number of rings in the collection that look perfect on either a man or a woman. A number of these are set with black diamonds. Despite their macho appearance these are also eminently suitable for women.

What are the latest wedding ring trends?
Just as is the case with all other jewellery, wedding rings are subject to trends too. Warm yellow gold has undergone a revival in recent years, and we anticipate this trend is set to continue. Slowly but surely the gap is closing on white gold, the most popular precious metal.
Furthermore, increasingly rings comprising two different precious metals are being chosen for. For example, white gold and red gold in one and the same ring creates a stunning result.

We are also noticing more and more organic designs popping up. Designs with flowers or petals are becoming popular. It certainly is worth taking a look at our design collections.
Yellow is a rising trend in wedding rings, and the same can be said for diamonds. A wedding ring with yellow or black diamonds is highly fashionable, as well as sleek.
Which hand do I wear my wedding ring on?
In Western Europe most men wear their wedding ring on the ring finger of their right hand. That is because most West Europeans are Christians. It's a different story in Judaism. In this faith the wedding ring is usually worn on the left hand.
Where you live can also play an important part. In Belgium, it even differs per province whether the wedding ring is worn on the left or right hand.
Naturally, personal preference plays a part besides tradition. Does it simply feel more comfortable for you to wear the wedding ring on your left hand? Feel free! The importance of traditions is on the wane.
