By Mark Smith

For the lucky couples that are getting engaged or are marrying this season, picking the right engagement and wedding ring can be a difficult decisions, so much so, that some couples even consider it more difficult that buying a car. Infact, you have a set number of options in buying a new car. This changes with engagement and wedding rings though

There used to be a rule of thumb that a gentlemen should spend at least one month's salary on the engagement ring. Of course, traditionally the engagement ring was a solitaire diamond and the bigger the better!

Compared to earlier times, things have been looking up in the jewellery space. This is largely due to the contemporary styles of jewellery that are available so abundantly now. Independent jewellery designers have come to occupy the centre stage. With professional training in jewellery designing, contemporary jewellery designers have brought about a change in the way jewellery is looked upon by the young couples. People are looking at jewellery that brings artistic and conceptual value to them, and hence you will see a surge in demand of contemporary jewellery with intrinsic artistic works. The fact that jewellery designers have trained at schools of jewellery designs makes everything seem like picture perfect when it comes to the overall emotional quotient of jewellery wearer.

Contemporary jewellery designs have become more like an extension of a person's own style and persona. It is so easy for a designer to roll out a design that fits and matches the overall persona of a person; thus enabling the pattern to enhance the sentimental value attached to the jewellery.

In choosing Engagement and Wedding Rings it is interesting to think about how the couple met, the qualities they love about each other, their favourite colours etc and to brief the contemporary jewellery designer to create a small momento in the form of a beautiful ring. It is also a great idea to have a design element which is shared in both the men's and women's ring. This may be just a small feature which unites the couple. It could also be a secret, such as a small diamond set secretly on the inside of both rings. Such a detail is extra special because it is something known only to the happy couple !!! - 29871
