What is a Memoire ring and how is it worn?

A Memoire ring – also called a memory ring – is a ring set with several diamonds. The idea is that the ring is bought with just one or a few stones, and a diamond is then added for each special memory. This way, unforgettable moments such as an anniversary, a graduation, the birth of a child or other important events can be captured in a single piece of jewellery.
Memoire rings are also available that are already half or even fully set, and therefore feature several diamonds right from the start. Even without any special meaning behind each individual stone, Memoire rings are elegant pieces of jewellery that elevate your outfit.

Choice and design options for Memoire rings

At first glance, a Memoire ring is always a ring with diamonds. But here, the details are what really matter when creating a cohesive look. Especially when combining it with other jewellery, you should pay particular attention to the following points:

  • colour and alloy
  • width
  • cut or shape of the stones
  • setting style of the diamonds

One example: if you're looking for a memory ring to wear in front of your gold wedding ring, the new ring should have the same gold tone for a harmonious look. Many jewellery wearers also want the new piece not to steal the show from the wedding ring. So make sure the Memoire ring isn't wider or higher.
