We have many regular designs with subtle or pronounced shapes. Some feature diamonds, others gemstones or a combination of both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to diamond-set wishbone rings, we now offer both natural or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/info\/ethical-lab-grown-diamonds\">lab-grown diamond<\/a> choices. Lab-grown diamonds appeal as an ethical, affordable option. At the same time, we create some designs with small natural Canadamark diamonds\u2014a natural yet 100% ethical choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our bespoke design service ensures a perfect fit with consideration to the precious metal, design and any other requirements. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/style\/bespoke-jewellery\/bespoke-wedding-rings\">bespoke wedding ring<\/a> takes around 5 weeks to create. We work with the original engagement ring to ensure a perfect fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Moss Agate and Diamond Engagement Ring - Wishbone Diamond Wedding Ring\" width=\"730\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uebFbPapzmQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But, not all buyers choose the shape for the reason of a good fit. In fact, some of our clients choose the shape owing to the symmetry as the ring frames a solitaire setting. Some people just prefer the angular shape of the wishbone as an alternative to a straight wedding ring design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your precious metal, match your wedding ring to the same metal as your engagement ring. This could be 18-carat white gold, yellow gold, rose gold or 9-carat gold in any colour. Or, Platinum. Both Platinum and 18-carat gold provide more durable choices for everyday wear. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wishbone wedding rings describe a distinctive V-shaped ring shape, named because of the similarity to the shape of a furcula or wishbone, found in most birds.
