Wedding Rings in Cornwall & Devon

"Patterned wedding rings are a great alternative to traditional designs and make a real statement next to a simple engagement ring," explains Nicola of Drakes. "We have a wide range of intricate patterned wedding rings available so you can find the one that really reflects your personality. We find Celtic wedding rings to be a popular choice when people are looking for patterned wedding rings, especially for the groom."

Beyond Celtic knots, more decorative designs include floral motifs - for an elegant, vintage inspired vibe - or a smattering of gemstones. A twisted design looks stunning alongside a solitaire engagement ring, while mixed metals are a super-stylish way of adding a distinctive touch to your ring finger.

For those seeking something more understated, consider a simple mill grain detail or braided side - these textures really shine as the light falls on them to highlight the subtle accents. Also consider the finish: it might be matt, satin, polished or a coolly contemporary hammered effect.

Or how about a ring cast in sand? Designer-maker, Justin Duance, uses a sand-casting technique whereby molten metal is poured into tiny moulds made of sand - you can even supply your own sand from a special beach for greater sentimentality. Incorporating a wooden inlay sourced from a poignant place is another effective way of echoing a rich sense of heritage and place.

An inscription is, of course, is a popular way of adding a personal touch to your rings. Opt for initials, your wedding date or a favourite quote. You might even have your fingerprints cast on the rings for a symbolic statement as distinctive as your love.
