If you're not big on regular wedding ring designs, here're a few tips to consider:

Find alternative sources

Customised jewellers are usually the way to go, as they can usually give you what you want. That said, regular jewellers such as Love & Co. also offer unique options such as thumbprint or photo engravings on your bands. See a list of jewellers you can look to for customised bands, here.

Look to your interests

If you're a couple who're big on all things inspired by wood, consider rings that incorporate such details including vines, or wood patterns on it. Or, if you'd like to honour your heritage in one way or another, opt for a design that highlights such details.

Consider the material

Instead of regular gold or silver, there are other materials you can choose from, and they don't necessarily have to be metal. Keep in mind though, that you'll want your rings to last a lifetime, so choose carefully.

Know what you want

Once you've settled on a rough idea, do your research and look for the jewellers who can help you realise your dream ring  best.

Buy your engagement and wedding rings together

Your engagement and wedding rings should look cohesive when worn together, so think of the type of bands you'll want to have already when choosing your e-ring (or have your partner make a note of it).
