About Curved Wedding Band Styles

Curved wedding rings became all the rage during the Victorian years, especially in the form of the much beloved "Toi et Moi" or "Me and You" styles that wrapped two gemstones together - often two diamonds, a sapphire and a diamond, or a pearl and a diamond - to represent the shared life between two mates.

Today, many curved contemporary rings are inspired by natural themes - the wind, water and trees - and designed with simple clean lines or intricate twisting and wrapping styles.

If you are looking for a unique diamond wedding ring, or a curvaceous engagement ring with a unique flair, you can find any number of curved styles in metals including platinum, palladium, silver and gold.

Unfortunately, because titanium, tungsten, cobalt, and stainless steel are such strong metals, they cannot at this time be crafted into the liquid-like turns that are often displayed on curved wedding rings.

While these unusual wedding ring styles are more commonly seen in women's engagement rings and wedding bands - curved styles are also available in men's bands too, although they may be a little more challenging to find.

An experienced local wedding ring artisan may also be able to handcraft a curved men's wedding band for you too.

Pros of Curved and Twisted Rings

These types of wedding rings are available in a number of contemporary styles and designs to choose from, and they are a beautiful alternative to more popular styles if you are looking for a unique diamond wedding ring or a band that will really stand out.

While curved wedding rings may be crafted with small to large carat diamonds, they tend to show larger carat diamond sizes off in quite a magnificent light too.

And, if you are looking for a handcrafted ring, many wedding ring artisans enjoy creating rings with beautiful curvaceous lines that truly capture today's modern wedding ring styles.

Cons of Curved Wedding Rings

The biggest con to curved wedding ring styles is that sometimes these types of rings cannot be resized - or resizing and repairs may be more expensive than for traditional ring designs. It all depends on the style though.
