Don't Be Mistaken: Simple Wedding Rings Without Diamonds Come in Surprisingly Diverse Designs!

Simple Wedding Rings are Best*
Wedding rings are worn on the left hand's ring finger as a symbol of marriage.
Since it’s something you wear every day, many people prefer a simple design that won’t get boring!*
While many may dream of half or full eternity rings, in reality, the majority typically choose wedding rings without diamonds.
Upon research, in addition to the reason of “I like simplicity,” there are also reasons such as:
- I don't have a particular preference for diamonds, so it's fine without them.
- I want to save money.
- Due to work, I prefer something that won't get dirty or scratched, so I want to find something cute without diamonds.
- I might get bored with it, so I want to choose something ordinary that looks good at any age.
- I want a completely matching design with my husband, so I went for no diamonds.
- I want something that I won't have to worry about during household chores or childcare.
For these reasons, it seems that about 30-40% of women and 60-70% of men choose wedding rings without diamonds.
They All Look the Same!!! is a Myth.
A common question that arises when choosing a simple wedding ring without diamonds.
That is...
“Aren’t they all the same no matter which one I choose?? Isn’t it just the brand that’s different??”
This is a valid concern.
Indeed, simple rings without any design may seem like they have similar designs across brands, but
it's far from true that “they're all the same.”
There are surprisingly various cute designs even for rings without diamonds, so let me introduce some!*
How to Choose a Wedding Ring Without Diamonds? ① Mill Grain
Mill grain is a traditional European decorative technique where small round beads are densely marked along the edges and lines of the ring.
Even without diamonds, it has a retro and cute vibe♡
This one is a marriage ring by NIWAKA. The different color in the mill grain part is a key point.
Mill grain can also feature designs like this, where the markings are in the center♩ This is a product from the brand Foulgochet.
How to Choose a Wedding Ring Without Diamonds? ② Hammered
Next, let’s introduce the hammered design*
Also known as "hammer eye."
This design involves gently tapping the surface of the ring with a hammer, leaving a textured finish.
It’s often seen in handmade wedding rings, and the way it reflects light at different angles adds a sparkling effect♩
This brand is called Form Posh, creating a crafted, casual, and warm atmosphere for the wedding ring.
The hammered wedding ring pairs perfectly with a matte finish.
Even without diamonds, using two colors like this can look festive♩
The brand of this ring is Mauve Bridal.
The appearance of hammered rings can really vary by brand; this one has a slightly rare vertical patterned design* (right)
I feel it has a more classic feel compared to the textured ones. This is a product from a store called Iz.
How to Choose a Wedding Ring Without Diamonds? ③ Shape
This is a bit of a broad category, but for rings without diamonds, changing the shape to express individuality is also recommended.
For example, this wedding ring features a twist.
The female ring has cute mill grains combined♡
This is from the brand Milk & Strawberry.
There’s also a wavering shape that seems to ripples, created through hammering♩
This is a marriage ring from e.m.
This one features a rope-like, braid design*
Wedding rings without diamonds have a strong image of being simple, but changing the shape can instantly alter the vibe.
This is a product from a brand called Douno♩
How to Choose a Wedding Ring Without Diamonds? ④ Bead Processing
While it looks somewhat similar to mill grain, a design that incorporates slightly larger beads into the edge lines of the wedding ring is also stylish♡
The edges of the ring are plump and festive, and it has a sparkling look even without diamonds!
Here’s a marriage ring from Van Cleef & Arpels.
How to Choose a Wedding Ring Without Diamonds? ⑤ Two Rings in One
Finally, here’s a wedding ring showcasing two simple and delicate rings worn stacked together*
It’s rare to have two rings as one wedding ring, and it certainly stands out...!
Adding an engagement ring makes it a stacked trio♡
This is a product from Rapage.
Even Without Diamonds, There Are Various Wedding Rings*
I introduced design points when selecting wedding rings without diamonds*
One might think that rings without diamonds only have similar designs across brands, but
I found that there are various designs like mill grain, hammered, different shapes, and bead processing♡
Use this as a reference when choosing your wedding ring.
