A Year For Romance

A Year For Romance

Q What should we look out for in the world of weddings in 2024?
A Adrian Catherall says: In terms of wedding-ring style, 2024 is going to be the year of love and romance. With the lessening impact of Covid on all our lives and we're as back to normality as we can remember, rejoicing in getting engaged and married is definitely coming back 1,000-fold. With this comes elements of colour and rejoicing in styling elements of wedding rings including a myriad of metals. A lot is dictated by the engagement ring though, so people tend to be fixated by the shape and style of the original ring, for example, if it features a round-cut diamond go for a diamond wedding band.

Popular styles would be dovetail settings, which is hand engraved into the surface further enhancing the diamonds. The pave set vintage style has always been popular too. While channel set sees the diamonds floating between bars. Alternatively, the up-andcoming tiara style is perfect for those who are more adventurous.

There are over a thousand different styles but it usually boils down to a simple few that resonate. Your wedding band shouldn't look too much like your engagement ring though as what tends to happen is that the two blend too much together and don't identify themselves individually. You'll get more value out of something that looks just that little bit different. What I do find is that customers tend to set the trends based on their desires, thoughts and obviously budget. We can then guide them to the best ring within that realm and vision.
