Wedding rings and bands are a universally recognised symbol of marriage and the commitment between two people. It’s common practice to glance at someone’s ring finger on their left hand to gauge their relationship status. But what if you don’t want to wear a wedding ring? Many people choose to opt out of the exchanging of wedding rings completely, or they decide to exchange another token that is meaningful to them in its place.

Some brides don’t enjoy wearing too many rings on their fingers and find that an engagement ring is enough to symbolise both wedding band and engagement. Some people don’t enjoy wearing rings at all. Others choose to wear their wedding band on a chain around their necks. It’s important to remember that it is yourwedding day, and you should only do things you feel comfortable with.

Wedding ring alternatives

If you don’t want to wear a wedding ring, there are many options out there for you to replace the symbolic token of love and commitment to your partner. You can also opt out of this tradition entirely. However, if you do want to exchange something meaningful with your partner during your wedding ceremony, there are other wonderfully sentimental and special options out there for you.

You can choose to exchange another type of jewellery, such as necklaces, bracelets, and brooches, even diamond earrings. You can have a wedding jewellery set created for you that matches any jewellery you already own that can replace the wedding bands.

Bespoke wedding jewellery

If you want to create a truly meaningful token to exchange with your partner, you can choose to have a bespoke piece made. We can design your custom pieces from scratch, so that they are truly unique to you, your relationship, and your style.

We can also incorporate existing jewellery pieces that are dear to you, to create wonderfully sentimental pieces. Perhaps you have a meaningful family heirloom that has been passed down to you that you want to elevate with your personal tastes. We can carefully remove and repurpose any gemstones and metals you might want us to use, while paying homage to the original piece. Maybe your grandmother’s engagement ring has a beautiful diamond you would like to be turned into a necklace that you want to wear in place of your own wedding band, or your partner has a treasured brooch with gemstones they want to use to create a bracelet in lieu of a wedding ring. No matter the piece you are wanting to have made, our team of in-house designers and jewellers are on hand to help you make your dreams come true.
