Diamond Rings Made From Hair Compliment Alternative Weddings

Happy 2020! Alternative weddings were all the rage in the UK in 2019. Millennials are redefining marriage and what is popular in the United Kingdom. Not only has this age group raised the average age that people get married, with women being around 31.5 and men around 33.4 according to recent data, millennials are also reshaping the styles and traditions surrounding weddings.

One of the most popular trends seen in recent years on the wedding scene is the uptick in “alternative” weddings. From choosing alternative wedding venues in the United Kingdom to picking out custom dresses that show off a bride’s tattoos, there are literally endless options when it comes to planning the perfect alternative wedding that best represents the unique style and taste of the couple.

Every detail about that special day for the couple can be customised all the way from the centrepieces down to the shoes, etc. One major token of love that is exchanged on that day is the set of wedding rings. When shopping for a diamond ring for a wedding, did you know that you have options to make it just as original as the dress and the rest of the wedding? 

One popular trend in the UK is for the partners to each cut off a lock of hair, combine their samples, and send it to a company that extracts the pure carbon from the hair and grows it into diamond wedding rings.

Liven up your wedding ring by including coloured diamonds

One of the most simple yet tasteful and creative ways to brighten up a wedding is by the addition of strategically-added colour. Couples have invented all sorts of ways to incorporate more colour into their weddings from choosing dresses that are not the traditional white or that include splashes of colours, to adorning the venue with colours for a reception, even trashing the dress with a variety of colours!

When most people think about a diamond for a wedding ring, a picture comes to mind of a clear or white diamond on the ring. It often doesn’t occur to people that diamonds mined from the earth are found in a variety of colours. At Heart in Diamond, they are able to grow diamonds that are identical in terms of physical, optical, and chemical properties as the diamonds that are plucked from the mines. 

Given the fact that the process for growing these lab diamonds mimics the same process that occurs deep within the mantle of the earth through the application of extreme heat in excess of 2000 degrees Celsius and intense pressure in excess of 60,000 atmospheres, HID is able to grow diamonds in the various colours you can find them in nature, including:

  • Deep red
  • White (clear)
  • Blue
  • Green-yellow
  • Yellow-orange

If you plan on having your ink on display during your big day, you could have a custom diamond created for your wedding ring that matches your body art and holds a deeper significance because it contains carbon from both you and your partner.
