“Yours for ever, mine for ever, us for ever.”

Today let us think about one of the most beautiful of all subjects: love. Summer is the high season for weddings – and it is only when the wedding ring is placed on the finger that the bond is officially sealed. Two people promising to be faithful to each other for ever and sealing their promise with a ring: is there anything more romantic than that?

A great deal of thought should be given to the choice of ring – after all, it is a piece of jewellery you will wear on your hand for the rest of your life, every day and on every occasion. You ought to be able to answer certain questions before you decide on your ring. Am I a rose gold, a white gold or a classic yellow gold person? What ring thickness suits me? Do I have a watch that the ring ought to go with? How well will the ring go with my wardrobe generally?

Before our wedding last year, I opted for a ring in white gold with diamonds, which matched my engagement ring (this is also an important consideration – ideally the two rings should harmonise beautifully and be capable of being worn together). By contrast, my husband chose a very simple, delicate ring made of rose gold. A combination of white gold and rose gold (i.e. a different model for the wife and for the husband) can look very stylish – the rings do not have to be visually identical.

Of course this opens up many possibilities – and fortunately at Juwelier Wagner you are sure to find the right ring for you, whatever your preferences. Fully set or half set with diamonds, a simple model or a showpiece with big stones: we have something for every taste. For me it was important that there was space on the ring for a personal engraving – something else that needs to be considered when you are making your decision. With classic rings you can choose between different thicknesses, and with the variants with diamonds you have an agonising choice when it comes to the setting and the type of gold.

I think you need to give yourself plenty of time to make your decision and be really certain of your choice, because with your wedding ring too, in the end it is a case of “mine for ever”. To ensure that the experience of choosing your ring is something truly special, give yourselves a few hours, go to Juwelier Wagner together, and enjoy trying out rings and looking forward to your life together with a glass of champagne.
