Introducing Domestic Wedding Rings

Exchanging wedding rings is always a sign of commitment, but nowadays it's not necessarily a promise of marriage in the traditional sense or a milestone that starts planning the wedding day. Although engagement has taken on new forms alongside the traditional meanings, wedding rings as a symbol of commitment still retain their adhere and popularity.

Domestic wedding rings show handmade and versatile design

The selection of domestic wedding rings today has a wide range of different materials, shapes and surfaces. There are wedding rings for women and men, but also boundary-breaking unisex models. In this article, we present typical and somewhat rarer choices for wedding rings, as well as the best of four Finnish jewelry brands.

The material of the wedding ring is gold, silver, titanium or zirconium

When choosing a wedding ring, one of the most important questions is the material of the ring. The most common materials used are 14 or 18 carat yellow and white gold, and rose gold has also established its place in wedding rings. In addition to classic precious metals, there are also more special options available, such as ceramic materials, durable titanium or almost black zirconium. There is also a demand for the most affordable precious metal options, such as silver rings, which jewelry brands have added to their selections.

Today, the combination of materials and colors is also typical and even more experimental: the selections include combinations of different shades of gold, but also, for example, combinations of almost black zirconium and gold. These are seen in wedding rings for both women and men.

In wedding rings, the most used shapes are a semi-round and a rectangular, flat shaped ring. These reduced forms can be given a varied look with different surface treatments. In addition, the collections of domestic jewelry brands have more special shapes, ranging from a spherical shape to romantic filigree rings. Finnish jewelry design is strongly guided by hand-making and domesticity. Recycled precious metal materials, which each of the jewelry manufacturers presented below says they use, speak of responsibility.

Silván wedding rings directly from our workshop in Hyvinkää

There is a wide selection of rings for different styles in the wedding rings of Laatukoru's own Silván collection. These models are worked on by professional goldsmiths at Laatukoru's own workshop in Hyvinkää. The Silván collection's wedding rings, which have received the key flag symbol, are handmade and use only the best materials, recycled 14 or 18 carat gold.

A shiny surface is a permanent favorite in wedding rings, but the look of the ring can change greatly just by treating its surface. Silván's Wedding Rings stand out precisely because of their unique surface treatments. For example, glass ball blowing gives a traditional flat shaped ring a hazy surface, while still maintaining the clarity of the shape. If you're looking for something more distinctive, an interesting option can be found in a ring from the Silván collection, which has a wavy surface.

In the Silván selection, you will also find more special ring shapes, such as shiny yellow, white and rose gold rings with spherical rows, as well as combinations of materials and surfaces, such as models combining brushed yellow or white gold and shiny rose gold.

Also take a look at the diamond and engagement rings from the Silván collection , which are also perfectly suited as wedding rings.

Kohinoor wedding rings with luxurious diamond cuts

Wedding rings from the Kohinoor collection are especially known for their diamond cuts. This refers to the diamond-cut pattern on the surface of the ring, which creates a distinctive and luxurious look. A diamond cut brings sparkle to a wedding ring without diamonds and thus also keeps the price reasonable.

In addition to decorative diamond-cut rings, Kohinoor's selection also includes reduced wedding ring models and more special materials. The most unique model of the Kohinoor wedding ring collection is probably the Duetto made of zirconium. Zirconium is almost black in color and has a white, yellow or rose gold stripe in the middle.

Kohinoor wedding rings are the result of the design work of Kultakeskus' own designers Assi Arnimaa and Sami Laatikainen in Hämeenlinna, where they are also manufactured. Kohinoor wedding rings are also marked with the Key Flag and recycled materials are used in their production.

Kalevala wedding rings reflect the traditions of Finnish goldsmithing

The Kalevala collection's wedding rings emphasize timeless design and the centuries-old traditions of Finnish goldsmithing. The collection takes you on a journey to the past, because the oldest decorative motifs used in rings date back to the beginning of our era. Kalevala's Wedding Rings are a choice for those who value tradition. The collection includes decorative and more reduced options for different styles.

If you are looking for a story and meaning in your wedding ring, you should check out the Kalevala jewelry, at least the Kalevala Unity ring and the Kalevala Heritage ring, where early examples from centuries ago come to life. For those looking for a feminine and romantic alternative, the Kalevala collection includes the Filigree ring, the design of which is borrowed from 18th-century decorative motifs.

Kalevala also offers more minimalist options, for example with its other Kalevala Heritage rings. Their reduced classic design and shiny surface are suitable for those looking for a ring with less gestures. The Kalevala collection's engagement rings are handcrafted in Finland from recycled white and yellow gold.
