6 Ways to Decide for a Wedding Ring That You’ll Love Forever

Last Updated on July 2, 2025 by Ruby And The Wolf

Your wedding ring will serve as a daily reminder of one of the most meaningful commitments you’ll ever make in this lifetime, which is why you and your partner need to get it right. Because you’ll wear it every day, you want a ring that doesn’t just sparkle, but one that feels like you.

If you’re shopping for wedding rings online, in-store, or somewhere in between, here’s how to find the one you’ll love not just on your wedding day, but every day after.

Know your budget, but shop with heart

Weddings come with their fair share of expenses, and it’s easy to get swept away by shiny objects. That’s why setting a budget for your wedding rings is essential—it keeps your search focused and stress-free. But don’t let that number box you in.

At Zadok Jewelers, you’ll find pieces that offer both beauty and value. Take this Sethi Couture Isabella Diamond Band, a stunning option that brings a vintage glow with its delicate diamonds set against a dainty yellow gold band with intricate milgrain details.

Bring your engagement ring along for the ride

Your wedding band and engagement ring are going to be side-by-side every day—so make sure they play well together. The shape of your engagement ring’s center stone can determine what styles will sit flush against it. For example, rings with high-set or unusually shaped stones (like marquise or pear) might need a contoured or notched band to avoid awkward gaps.

Before you commit, try pairing your engagement ring with a few bands. If you’re into cohesive, sculptural beauty, check out Zadok Collection’s East-West Marquise Diamond Band—it echoes a marquise engagement ring in a modern, graceful way.

Pick a style that speaks your language

Your wedding ring should reflect who you are—not just today, but in the years to come. Do you want your band to match your engagement ring? Or are you mixing metals, stones, or settings to create something bolder?

While classic white diamonds are always in style, consider going off the beaten path. A Rainbow Sapphire Eternity Ring from Zadok Jewelers adds a cheerful pop of color and personality. Or opt for something romantic and refined, like a Pink Sapphire Wedding Band—a softer, yet just-as-dazzling alternative to traditional diamonds.

Consider a ring that matches your lifestyle

Your wedding ring isn’t meant to live in a box. It should move with you through every part of life—whether you’re typing away in an office or working with your hands outdoors. If you’re active, opt for wedding rings with low-profile settings that don’t snag, and consider durable metals like platinum, which holds up better than other metals.

C. Gonshor’s Diamond Wedding Band in platinum is built for strength but designed with elegance in mind—ideal for those who want resilience without sacrificing style. Meanwhile, the Half Round Classic Men’s Wedding Band is perfect for anyone seeking a low-fuss, long-lasting ring that still looks polished and put-together.

Attend a bridal jewelry trunk show

Shopping for wedding rings online is convenient, but there’s something magical about slipping a ring onto your finger and instantly knowing it’s the one. Many wedding ring stores offer jewelry trunk shows, which is a great chance for you to explore collections from top designers, try on exclusive styles, and get expert advice in person.

Luxury retailers like Zadok Jewelers Austin hosts seasonal trunk shows that offer exactly this experience. From discovering hidden gems to falling for a ring you didn’t expect, it’s a must for any couple who wants a more hands-on approach.

Make it truly yours

Want a unique wedding ring? Getting custom wedding rings allow you to go beyond the showroom and design something that’s entirely personal. You can engrave your wedding date, initials, or even a favorite phrase inside your band. Zadok Jewelers offer a bespoke bridal design studio where you can collaborate with a designer for a wedding ring that you can call your own.   

Find Your Forever

From elegant wedding rings for women to sleek men’s wedding rings and perfectly coordinated wedding ring sets, your perfect match is just waiting to be discovered.

Choosing a wedding ring is a deeply personal decision, and the right one should feel like an extension of your love story. So take your time, trust your gut, and most importantly, enjoy the process of finding the perfect wedding ring.
