What
is your take on wedding band trends in 2018/19 and how do they differ from
wedding band styles of previous years?
In
previous years, engaged couples had preference for bold colour combinations.
Classic color combinations are white, rose and white. Last year, we saw more
couples opting for black and rose, champagne and pink. eClarity always make
sure that the alloy of gold displays original colour tone in the highest gold
content, namely 18k with composites of 75% of pure gold content. For yellow
gold, the gold content can go higher to 20k (83%), 22k (91.6%), or even 24k
(99.9%).
In
2018, we have seen many couples going back to simple romantic pure and glossy
white bands, with added fine and sophisticated Victorian details on the sides,
like milgrains and carvings. Many engrave the couples’ own finger prints,
handwritings, or customised messages in unique font types within the rings too.
In
2019, we expect wedding band trends to emerge on higher level of customisation,
with mounted gemstones or birthstones, sound waves carvings (recording each
other voices and imprint sound waves into wedding bands). Couples will be more
persistent to have wedding bands that symbolize their love in a unique and
personalized way.
What
designs/shapes/stones are or will be getting more popular in 2018/19?
For
engagement rings and wedding bands, the trend will move towards antique colors,
shapes, and designs.
Antique
colour like champagne, in 18k gold, is unique, high in purity and it lasts
forever. It doesn’t warm the colour of central diamond like rose gold ring
settings do, and it is more unique than yellow gold setting. It is classy,
elegant, and matches beautifully with Singaporeans’ skin tone.
Antique
finishing presents a natural and intense vibe, especially when they are
handcrafted by our master craftsmen. The unique texture and subtle elegance ensures
the bespoke wedding bands is unique, as the finishing of each piece is
personally handcrafted, and therefore inimitable.
Are
there any classic designs that make it into your prediction of wedding band
trends for 2018/19?
Yes,
simple and graceful braided and intertwining wedding bands, and “eternity
rings” mounted with full or half circle of diamonds or gemstones, are classic
and yet timeless.
The
fine curve has a slimming effect on the finger, while preserving the symbolic
meaning of the wedding ring as a never-ending circle, signifying eternal love. The
intertwining on the bands also represents the entwining and weaving of 2 lovers.
The
continuous array of diamonds on “eternity rings” are a perpetual expression of
love. While some like it classic with diamonds, we also create bespoke pieces
in full or alternate gemstones and diamonds, different sizes, shapes of stones,
or with slight tweak to the ring shapes, like V shape or U shape. These rings
can be given by the husband to the wife for wedding, or on a significant
occasion, such as an anniversary gift, push gifts, or other celebrations.
Why do you think these classic designs still appeal to today’s couples?
Jewellery
is timeless. Classic designs with slight finetuning to incorporate the
contemporary with traditional customs, always appeal to couples, as they are
classy and elegant. They also epitomize the love of the couple embarking on a
journey together, embracing their past, present and future.
How do you incorporate these new wedding band trends into your designs?
eClarity
maintains 500 designs of wedding band in store for couples to view, fit, and
customize. We continue to observe preferences and create bespoke pieces to lead
the wedding bands designs in Singapore and the region. The launch of new series
always considered different colours, finishing, broadness, and fitting.
What
do you think couples today are looking for in their wedding bands?
I
think more couples today are more active than ever! As mentioned earlier, they
are looking for personalisation and simplicity in their wedding bands. They
want something that is suitable for everyday use, goes with their outfits and
other accessories, but at the same time, rings that are exclusively theirs.
They
are also looking for rings that are easy to maintain, without too much trouble
on their part, thus eClarity provides lifetime annual “jewellery spa” for all
eClarity members, a complimentary service that our production team mates
professionally clean and check the jewellery under microscopes.

Do
you have any tips for couples choosing their weddings bands? What should they
look out for and what should they consider before making a decision?
From
my 13 years of experience in hosting dialogues and consultations with couples,
couples tend to have different questions based on their personalities and lifestyles.
My team continues to arrange couples who like to meet me for queries into
