Indeed, in the 2013 collections, Vera Wang and Romona Keveza bring us shocking red, Oscar da la Renta subtly slipped in some powder blue and high street favourite, Maggie Sottero kept frills and volume in a pink fishtail design. Jewellers have also followed suit with bold gems shining diamonds into submission. After all, why does the injection of colour have to stop at the dress?
Boutique jewellers Ingle and Rhode commented on their blog that, “many of our clients want to incorporate coloured gemstones in their ring or rings want something totally unique and different: something to stand out from the crowd.” The wedding dress designers have shown us that the wedding rules have changed. There has been a shift away from white, beige, ivory and the other shades in that spectrum. The same theory goes for gems; if a bride can wear a striking red dress, they can most definitely choose a ruby to match.
Things to consider about the colour design trend:
- This ring will be for life. Does your chosen colour compliment the rest of your wardrobe?
- Will the colour match your wedding dress? Get some expert advice from a colourist or a boutique jeweller ensuring you achieve the right colour to match both your dress and your skin tone.
- Coloured gems (not coloured diamonds) are also more budget friendly than the usual carat.
Complimenting a wedding dress with a ruby, emerald or azure accent can be a little less extreme that walking down the aisle in a bright number and will keeps you in tune with the 2013 wedding colour trend. Enjoy trying on the different designs, shapes, weights and colour combinations and if there is something specific you want, remember you can always have a bespoke ring made exactly to your requirements.
