Lire l'articleThe choice of a wedding ring is both intimate and deeply symbolic. Much more than just a piece of jewelry, it embodies a sincere relationship, a promise of fidelity and unity. This decisive moment, charged with meaning, marks the beginning of a shared life and makes the wedding ring the silent witness of this commitment. Between materials, shapes and styles, the diversity of options can make this decision a complex one. Lepage guides you through this process, presenting the essential elements to consider in order to make your wedding ring a timeless symbol of your union.
Choosing your gold
It's important to remember that a wedding ring is a piece of jewelry designed to accompany you on a daily basis, and as such is naturally subject to wear and tear. It is therefore essential to choose noble, resistant metals such as gold or platinum, renowned for their longevity. On the other hand, more fragile materials such as silver or gold plating should be avoided.
But what type of gold should I choose? Traditionally, yellow and white gold have dominated the world of jewelry. However, rose gold has become increasingly popular in recent years, notably for its softness and ability to harmonize with all skin tones.
White gold
If you prefer a more discreet, yet resolutely modern wedding band, white gold is a timeless choice. Its clear, brilliant color, often enhanced by a rhodium coating for even greater brilliance, makes white gold an elegant, streamlined choice.
White gold is often associated with minimalist or contemporary styles, and pairs perfectly with diamonds or other precious stones. It goes particularly well with light and medium skins, but remains a versatile choice that will appeal to those who appreciate simplicity and brilliance.
Rose gold
Rose gold, with its subtle hue, remains a safe bet, even if its colour can vary slightly depending on the percentage of copper in the alloy. At Lepage, we've opted for a refined rose gold that enhances all skin tones.
If you are looking for a wedding ring with a discreet but refined charm, rose gold could be your ideal choice.
Yellow gold
Yellow gold, with its warm golden hue, is a classic option for your wedding ring. Perfect for enhancing tanned or darker skin tones, it diffuses a soft light and a natural glow. If you're looking for a wedding ring that symbolises elegance and durability, yellow gold is ideal. Its warm glow and timeless character will make this jewellery a symbol of love that will gracefully stand the test of time.
Wedding ring with or without diamonds?
The two ring models
The comfort half-bangle
The Lepage brand favors designs that are both classic and contemporary. The confort half-bangle is part of this quest for understated yet sophisticated elegance. With a round shape on top and a slightly domed curvature on the inside, it's a model that adapts to all occasions, from weddings to everyday rings. An example is the Premisse wedding ring, which embodies the finesse of the half-bangle.
Comfort flat ribbon
As its name suggests, the Comfort Flat Ribbon adopts a completely flat ring shape. This sleek design is particularly popular with men for its masculine, modern style. The Emoi wedding band reflects this idea of the flat ribbon.
Matching wedding and engagement rings
Choosing a wedding band that matches the engagement ring is a crucial step, and depends on personal preference. The key is to achieve a combination that enhances the whole, without creating too sharp a contrast.
It's often advisable to opt for a wedding band in the same shade as your engagement ring, whether in yellow, white or rose gold, to ensure visual harmony. However, the choice remains personal: some prefer to play with contrasts, while others prefer continuity.
If your engagement ring is a solitaire, a thin or slightly curved wedding band will match the shape of the solitaire, creating a fluid transition between the two rings. The idea is to create visual harmony while highlighting each piece without them competing. If the engagement ring is already elaborate or voluminous, opt for a simpler wedding band with a similar diameter to avoid overload.
Choosing a wedding ring to suit your personality
The wedding ring, a timeless symbol of commitment, should reflect not only love, but also the unique personalities of those who exchange it. Maison Lepage offers five collections of wedding rings, each embodying distinct values and offering a range of designs to suit the most diverse preferences and characters.
1922 La Magnifique
The 1922 La Magnifique collection pays tribute to a century of jewelry-making excellence and savoir-faire. Designed to celebrate the centenary of Maison Lepage, it is distinguished by the use of rare triangular diamonds, cut with exceptional precision, and 750 thousandths gold. These exceptional creations combine prestige and innovation, perfect for couples wishing to mark their union with a strong, original piece.
Coquette
The Coquette collection is inspired by the great female figures of history, combining nobility with a touch of modernity. These wedding rings, finely set with diamonds surrounded by sparkling crowns, are the perfect embodiment of elegant, refined personalities. Each jewel in this collection is distinguished by its richness and presence, for a symbol of commitment that is as sumptuous as it is elegant.
Suzanne
The Suzanne collection is a tribute to vintage-style jewellery, reinterpreted with contemporary elegance. These creations, featuring marquise and pear-cut diamonds, are ideal for those seeking a combination of the charm of the past and the mastery of modern craftsmanship. Suzanne is the perfect choice for refined personalities looking for sophisticated, timeless jewellery, where every detail, from the diamond pavé to the precious stones, adds sparkle and elegance to the piece.
Evidence
The Évidence collection stands out for its minimalist, refined approach. These wedding rings emphasise the purity of the shapes and the discretion of the stones, offering a subtle aesthetic that is full of meaning. If you're someone who values simplicity and timelessness, Évidence offers you creations of great elegance, ideal for a symbolic and sincere union.
Audacieuse
The Audacieuse collection is characterised by modern designs with clean lines and bold volumes. If you're a daring, resolutely modern and innovative personality, this collection is ideal for affirming your union in a distinctive and contemporary way. The wedding rings in the Audacieuse collection combine geometric shapes with carefully selected diamonds. These pieces are designed for those who want to stand out from the crowd with daring and distinctive creations.
At Lepage, we understand that your wedding ring is much more than just a piece of jewelry; it symbolizes a precious commitment and a lasting love. To preserve its brilliance over the years, regular maintenance is essential. Although gold is a resistant metal, it can show signs of wear over time, such as slight tarnishing. To maintain its brilliance, we recommend polishing every two years. If your wedding ring is made of white gold, rhodium plating will also revive its brilliance. This way, it will continue to shine and testify to your love, year after year.
At the same time, to make your wedding ring unique, Lepage offers a free personalized engraving service. Whether it's your initials, the date of your meeting or even a personal message, each engraving is carefully done in our workshops to add an intimate touch to your jewel. This service allows you to mark this unique commitment forever. If you choose to buy online, simply indicate your wishes when ordering. However, we advise you to carry out the engraving after confirming your final choice, as once it has been done, the wedding ring cannot be returned. Make sure the size and design suit you perfectly.
By combining careful care with personalized engraving, you can guarantee that your wedding ring will remain as beautiful and meaningful as on the first day.
