Wedding Ring Guide 2025

Handcrafted in London. Designed for life.

A wedding ring is more than a symbol - it’s a reflection of two lives intertwined. Whether you’re drawn to something classic and timeless or prefer a modern interpretation, each piece should feel personal and lasting.

At Maya Magal London, our solid gold wedding bands are designed for everyone and handcrafted to endure. This guide helps you find the perfect pair - from design and material to those finishing, personal touches that make them yours.

The History of Wedding Rings

The tradition of exchanging rings as a symbol of devotion dates back over 3,000 years. Ancient Egyptians viewed the circle as a sign of eternity - a bond without beginning or end. The custom spread to Greece and Rome, where couples exchanged metal bands during marriage ceremonies.

While styles have evolved across cultures and centuries, the essence remains unchanged: a simple, enduring symbol of love.

Gemstone Wedding Rings

Add colour, character, or a subtle glimmer to your bridal stack. Our gemstone wedding bands pair beautifully with engagement rings, offering vibrant touches of sapphire, emerald, or diamond. Each piece is handcrafted in recycled gold for everyday wear and lasting significance. 

Heirloom Wedding Bands

Echoing vintage charm with modern design, our heirloom-inspired bands feature half-eternity settings adorned with emeralds, sapphires, or salt-and-pepper diamonds. Each ring is unique - a modern heirloom crafted to be passed down through generations.

Diamond Wedding Bands

Sustainably sourced, conflict-free, and designed for life. Our diamond wedding bands are handcrafted in recycled solid gold using ethically sourced natural or lab-grown diamonds. Understated yet radiant, they are made to accompany you every day - and through every chapter. 

Coordinated Wedding Ring Sets

For couples seeking harmony, our matching ring sets are a quiet symbol of shared commitment. Choose complementary textures, finishes, or metals to tell a story that's yours alone.
