When choosing a women’s engagement ring or wedding band, it is important to find a piece that embodies personal style and holds timeless significance. At AHW Atelier, our passion lies in creating custom wedding rings that are not only beautiful but meaningful, crafted with the utmost care and expertise.
Materials in AHW Wedding Bands
AHW Atelier specialises in crafting matching wedding rings using a variety of premium materials. We work with 18k yellow, white, and rose gold, as well as platinum, each offering a unique combination of beauty and durability. These metals are selected for their ability to withstand everyday wear while retaining their elegance over the years. Each material brings its own character, whether it’s the classic warmth of yellow gold, the romantic blush of rose gold, or the sleek sophistication of platinum. For those seeking a more modern or affordable option, sterling silver can also be incorporated into custom designs.
Incorporating Stones into Wedding Bands
While traditional wedding bands are often simply wedding rings in white gold, incorporating gemstones can add a touch of individuality and sparkle. At AHW Atelier, as the premier wedding ring creator, we offer diamonds in a variety of cuts and carat sizes, as well as coloured gemstones like sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and opals. These stones can be channel-set, pave-set, or bezel-set into the band, creating subtle or dramatic effects based on your vision. For customers with a sentimental stone, such as an heirloom diamond or a cherished opal, we can incorporate it into the design for a personal touch.
Popular Styles and Customisation Options
Women’s wedding bands come in an array of wedding ring styles, from minimalist wedding ring shapes to intricate patterns. Some of our most popular options include:
Eternity Bands: Featuring diamonds or gemstones encircling the entire band for a timeless and luxurious look.
Twisted or Interwoven Bands: Symbolising unity and partnership, these designs often combine two metals or feature a flowing, organic design.
Classic Plain Bands: Ideal for those who appreciate simplicity, these designs can be customised with a polished, matte, or hammered finish.
Vintage-Inspired Designs: Drawing on historical motifs like milgrain edges or filigree patterns, these rings exude a timeless charm.
Customisation is a cornerstone of AHW Atelier, as couple wedding rings need to be unique! Whether it’s engraving a meaningful date or phrase, adding a unique texture, or designing a bespoke shape to complement an engagement ring, we pride ourselves on crafting pieces that reflect the wearer’s story.
Choosing the Right Material
Selecting the right material depends on factors like lifestyle, personal taste, and budget. Platinum is a popular choice for its strength and hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin. Gold, available in various hues, offers a classic aesthetic while providing durability for everyday wear. Mixing metals, such as pairing a white gold band with a 18k wedding ring, is increasingly popular, allowing for a unique and contemporary look.
Matching or Mixing Wedding Bands and Engagement Rings
Whether to match the wedding band with the engagement ring is a personal decision. Some prefer a perfectly coordinated set, where the band mirrors the design of the engagement ring. Others embrace contrast, pairing a simple band with a more elaborate ring, or mixing metals for a bold statement. At AHW Atelier, we offer bespoke design services to ensure that both pieces harmonise beautifully, whether they match or complement one another.
Differences Between Men’s and Women’s Wedding Bands
Wedding rings for men can be straightforward. Traditionally, men’s wedding ring bands are wider and more substantial, with a focus on minimalist and practical designs. Women’s wedding rings tend to be narrower and may feature decorative elements such as gemstones or intricate details. However, modern trends have blurred these lines, and we encourage customers to select the style that resonates most with them, regardless of convention.
Comfort Fit vs Standard Fit
When choosing a wedding band, comfort is key. AHW Atelier offers both standard and comfort fit options. A standard fit ring has straight inner edges, while a comfort fit ring is slightly rounded on the inside, making it easier to slide over the knuckle and more comfortable for extended wear. Comfort fit bands are especially popular for those who prioritise everyday wearability.
Resizing and Maintenance
Over time, factors such as changes in finger size may necessitate resizing. Most AHW Atelier wedding rings in gold can be resized, though some styles, such as eternity bands, may require additional care during the process due to their design. We also provide professional cleaning and maintenance services to ensure your ring remains as radiant as the day you received it.
