Everything You Need to Know About Wedding Rings & Bands!

When searching for the perfect wedding bands, many questions arise. We offer a large selection of over 1,000 wedding rings available in various materials, including apricot gold, white gold, zirconium, and many more. To help you choose the perfect rings, we answer the most common questions about wedding rings and bands here.

When should you get wedding rings?

It is advisable to order wedding rings about 3 to 6 months before the wedding. This timeframe gives you enough leeway to choose the design, adjust the size, and add any engravings. The earlier you decide, the more confident you can be that everything will be ready on time.

When are wedding rings the most affordable?

Prices for wedding rings can vary depending on the season. Especially outside the main wedding season (spring and summer), you can often find offers or discounts. If you are looking for affordable wedding rings, be sure to check out our collection.

Where do you wear the wedding ring in Switzerland?

In Switzerland, the wedding ring is traditionally worn on the right ring finger. The engagement ring, on the other hand, is usually worn on the left hand. However, it is always a matter of personal taste and preference which hand you wear the ring on.

Since when have wedding rings existed?

The tradition of wedding rings dates back to antiquity. The Romans already wore wedding rings as a symbol of eternal love and commitment. This tradition has been preserved to this day and is an integral part of every wedding.

Which materials are especially popular for wedding rings?

The choice of the right material for the wedding ring depends greatly on personal taste and lifestyle. The most popular materials include:

  • Yellow gold: The classic among wedding rings, timeless and elegant.
  • White gold: Modern and stylish, often chosen by couples who prefer a cool, elegant look. Those who like classic designs should take a look at our classic wedding rings collection.
  • Apricot gold: A trendy material distinguished by its warm tone.
  • Caramel gold: A trendy material from Fischer, notable for its warm reddish tone.
  • Titanium: Extremely lightweight and durable, perfect for active people.
  • Zirconium: For couples looking for something unique and hypoallergenic.

Why are wedding rings so expensive?

The price of a wedding ring depends on many factors: the material, craftsmanship, design, and possible additional decorations like diamonds. Rings made of platinum or with high-quality gemstones are often more expensive. However, it is worth investing in a ring that is meant to last a lifetime. Especially unique designs can be found in our design wedding rings collection.

Which wedding rings are trendy?

Currently, rings made of white gold, rose gold, apricot gold, and caramel gold are very popular. Especially wedding rings combining different materials or those with personalized engravings are trending. Simple, minimalist designs are also very popular. Those looking for playful, nature-inspired rings can find them in our Flora collection.

What do you engrave on wedding rings?

Engravings make the wedding ring unique and personal. Typical engravings include the wedding date, the names of the couple, or short love messages. Creative engravings such as symbols or fingerprints are also possible to make the ring even more individual.

When should you buy wedding rings?

Ideally, you should buy wedding rings about six months before your wedding. This gives you enough time to choose different styles and materials and make changes if necessary.

Why are gold wedding rings so popular?

Gold stands for durability and luxury. Whether yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold – these materials have been symbols of eternal love for centuries. Each type of gold has its own advantages, and many couples choose a specific variant depending on their individual style.

How much do wedding rings cost?

The cost of wedding rings varies greatly depending on the material, design, and possible decorations. Simple rings made of stainless steel or silver are often cheaper, while rings made of platinum or with diamonds can be significantly more expensive. It is important to set a budget that matches your expectations and needs.

What types of wedding rings are there?

The variety of wedding rings is huge. You can choose from different designs, materials, and styles – from classic yellow gold to modern titanium rings or extravagant models made of zirconium. Whether simple or luxurious – there is the perfect ring for every couple.

What should you consider when choosing wedding rings?

It is important that the wedding ring not only looks good but is also comfortable and withstands everyday life without problems. When choosing, pay attention to high-quality materials that are durable. The right size and fit are also crucial.

Which wedding rings are the best?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the choice of the best wedding ring depends on individual taste. For some, classic yellow gold rings are the best choice, while others prefer modern materials like carbon or zirconium. What matters is that the ring reflects your personality and suits you.
