Nikah rings and jewelry: what is customary and which metal to choose

A nikah calls for restrained, meaningful pieces rather than large stones.

For the bride A plain band or a small stone in a protective bezel setting, in 585 or 750 gold. If both an engagement and a wedding ring are planned, we make them as a pair so the profiles match.

For the groom: the metal question In Islamic tradition men do not wear gold, so nikah rings for the groom are usually silver, or platinum or a palladium alloy for a harder, more formal look. Agree this with the family in advance.

Mahr Jewellery is a common choice — a matching set, a piece with a certified stone, or the stone itself. Keep the gem report: it is part of the value.

Engraving A date, initials or a short phrase inside the band.

Lead time 7–10 days for plain bands, 2–3 weeks with a stone and a 3D model.
