Whether you like gold, platinum or titanium, our experts will help you find the jewel that's right for you, combining style, comfort and budget. A unique experience for an eternal symbol.

A wedding ring is much more than just a piece of jewelry: it's a symbol of your commitment and love, a piece of jewelry you'll wear every day. So it's essential to choose it with care. At Salon de l'Alliance, we can help you with this crucial step, with over 10,000 models to choose from and a team of expert advisors ready to guide you in your choice. Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect wedding ring.

1. Choosing the right material

The first criterion to consider is the material of your wedding band. You need to choose one that not only suits your style, but also your needs in terms of durability and maintenance. Here are the most common materials:

Yellow gold A classic, warm and timeless.

White gold Modern and elegant, it goes easily with other jewelry.

Rose gold Very trendy, with its subtle, romantic sparkle.

Platinum Ultra-resistant, ideal for a wedding ring that is intended to last a lifetime, but often more expensive.

Cobalt: Extremely robust and hypoallergenic, cobalt offers a luster similar to that of white gold, but at a more affordable price.

Tantalum: Less common, but prized for its unique dark gray color, it is highly scratch-resistant and rare.

Titanium: Lightweight and extremely resistant, it's perfect for those looking for a durable, modern material.

Our advisors at Salon de l'Alliance can help you understand the advantages and particularities of each metal, taking into account your daily habits and aesthetic preferences.

2. Width and shape

The wedding band should match your hands and be comfortable to wear. The width of the ring can play a key role in the jewel's visual appeal. For example:

Fine wedding rings: Discreet, they are perfect for fine hands or if you prefer a minimalist style.

Large wedding rings: More imposing, they have a more assertive look and are often chosen by those who like visible, robust jewelry.

Beyond width, the shape of the ring is also important. Some prefer a flat, modern, streamlined shape, while others opt for a domed shape, classic and very comfortable for everyday wear.

3. Style: classic or ornate?

Your wedding band can be sober and classic, or adorned with unique details like diamonds, engravings or personalized designs. Here are a few popular options:

Smooth wedding band: Simple and timeless, this is an essential choice for those who prefer sobriety.

Diamond-paved wedding rings: For those who like a little more sparkle, a wedding band set with small diamonds can add a touch of sparkle.

Engraved wedding rings: Personalize your jewelry with an engraving on the outside. We have models where you can engrave your name or wedding date in Roman numerals.

Our 10,000 models include a wide range of styles, from the most classic to the most extravagant, with the option of customizing certain models to perfectly reflect your story.

4. Consider comfort

Don't forget that you'll be wearing this wedding band every day. So it's crucial that it's comfortable. The internal comfort of the ring, with slightly rounded edges (called "comfort fit"), is a popular option for avoiding discomfort on a daily basis.

5. Keep to your budget

It's important to set a budget before you begin your search. We offer models in a wide range of prices, from more affordable options in 18-carat gold to exceptional pieces in platinum and diamond-paved. Our advisors are on hand to help you find the perfect wedding band within your budget.

6. Try out several models

Even if you have a clear idea in mind, it's essential to try on several models before making your decision. The wedding ring that looks perfect on paper may not be as comfortable or as flattering on your finger. Thanks to our extensive collection, you can explore a wide variety of wedding rings and receive personalized advice from our experts.
