Juwelierin Laura Wieland erzählt, wie ihr in 5 Schritte zum perfekten Ehering findet.

All that glitters is not (yellow) gold. True. It can also be red gold, white gold, platinum or with a diamond. Laura Wieland now tells you how to find the perfect wedding rings. 

1. how do we find the perfect wedding rings?

The search for the perfect wedding ring is not an easy one. There are different materials, colours, designs and depending on how elaborately the ring is designed, the price also varies quite considerably. Unfortunately, I can't advise you on the design, because you know best what you like and what suits you. But there are a few important tips from professionals that will definitely help you find the ring for eternity. 

2. what should brides and grooms look for when choosing rings?

"The most important thing about a ring is the material. There are different alloys of gold, for example, and not all of them last equally well. You wear a wedding ring for 30 years or more. If the material is too soft or the ring too thin, it will not survive this time in one piece. For the layman, good material can hardly be distinguished from poorer material, because brand new rings always look beautiful and of high quality. One quality feature you can rely on, however, is MADE IN GERMANY, because only high-quality precious metal is processed under this seal. The material quality is also important because the ring may need to be made wider or tighter at a later date. If it is strong enough and the material is good, then that is no problem at all."

3. how much should be budgeted for be budgeted for wedding rings?

„Bei uns bekommt man hochwertige Eheringe im Paar ohne Edelstein ab ca. € 1.000,–. Wenn man sich etwas mehr Designdetails wünscht im Schnitt € 1.500,–. Natürlich hängt der Preis vom Material, dem Design und der Anzahl der Diamanten ab. Wer es lieber ausgefallen mag, wird etwas mehr für die Eheringe einplanen müssen.“

4. what do you recommend in terms of design?

"When it comes to wedding rings, I advise a rather simple design that is timeless and will still fit in the future. If you want to spice up the ring, you can also do so with a beautiful pre-ring. There are many occasions for this: for the first wedding anniversary or the birth of a child. 

5. a personal tip from Laura

An excellent idea is to first look at a ring configurator on the websites of the wedding ring producers. There you can try out the rings digitally, so to speak, and make a preliminary selection. But be careful: you should not take the price for granted yet. The configurators always show the prices for the smallest ring height, so the price can still go up."
