His & Hers New-Year Wedding Bands – Matching Lab-Grown Sets Under Dh 9k

2025 Dubai Couple Guide

“We’ve moved the wedding to New Year’s Eve, how soon can you actually make the rings?” That was the email waiting in my inbox on 29 November, subject line: “Panic Mode Activated.” My reply: “Yes, if you pick by 10 December.”

With just a few weeks to go, I knew we had to move fast, but carefully. Weddings are full of decisions, and the rings? They’re forever.

Choosing the Perfect Bands: A Story

When I first spoke to the couple, I asked them about their style, what they love, what speaks to them. Some wanted minimalist elegance, others were drawn to timeless vintage detailing, and a few were ready to experiment with trendy textures and subtle stones.

We explored ideas over emails and WhatsApp chats,

• She loved something delicate that still sparkled with character,

• He wanted a band that felt solid but not too heavy, something that complemented hers without overpowering it.

By the second consultation, the vision became clear. We discussed options that balanced tradition and trend, flat, domed, milgrain, hammered, and even playful touches like small pavé or colored stones. It was exciting, every design option told a story of their love, their personalities, and the joy of starting a new year together.

With lab-grown diamonds and 18k gold, we could customize each piece to perfection, and still deliver all under Dh 9k total, a saving that left room in their budget for champagne, cake, or even a last-minute honeymoon splurge.

Within 24 hours of picking a style, I sent a 360° CAD video, letting them see every angle of the bands before production even started. No photoshoot, no waiting in stores, just confidence that the rings would be exactly what they imagined.
