A plain wedding band is the kind of ring you slip on and forget you are wearing, in the best possible way. A band of 18K gold or platinum, smooth, engraved or sculpted, whose quiet presence is all about the metal itself.

Mayuri plain wedding bands are available in widths from 1.5mm to 3mm. For a feminine hand, the 2mm width, featured in Shunya, offers an ideal balance between presence and discretion. A 1.5mm width suits slender fingers seeking delicacy. The 3mm width provides more substance and pairs beautifully with an engagement ring.
Yes, several Mayuri styles are designed to create matching wedding bands. Shunya and Sobek offer the same design in two widths: 2mm and 1.5mm for her, 3mm and 2.7mm for him. The pattern remains identical, only the width adapts to each hand. This approach allows coordinated wedding bands while respecting proportions.
A half-round wedding band features a rounded profile on the outside and a flat interior. This curved shape catches the light and offers optimal wearing comfort. Mayuri's Shunya wedding bands feature this half-round profile, available in 2mm and 3mm widths. The half-round is the most classic and timeless shape in fine jewelry.
Yes, interior engraving is complimentary on all Mayuri plain wedding bands. You can personalize the inside of your wedding band with a date, initials, or a short message. This engraving is done in our workshop and is included with your order at no extra charge.
A smooth wedding band has an even surface with no relief: polished like Shunya, or brushed like Kanso, whose matte finish remains without pattern. An engraved or sculpted wedding band features a raised motif: scales for Sobek, wave for Thalassa, laurel for Kléos and Daphné, chevron for Maât. Both styles belong to the plain wedding band category. The choice depends on your preference between absolute simplicity and subtle pattern.
Mayuri plain wedding bands are crafted in 18k gold in three tones: yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. Select styles are also available in platinum. 18k gold ensures superior quality and optimal durability for jewelry worn daily. Each metal brings its own tone and complements your personal style.
Yes, resizing your wedding band is possible after purchase. If your finger size changes or you need an adjustment, our workshop can modify the size of your 18k gold or platinum wedding band. Contact us to arrange this: we will guide you through the process based on your style.
Crafting a Mayuri plain wedding band takes 3 to 6 weeks. Express shipping is available worldwide. Returns accepted within 30 days, see our shipping & returns policy for details.

For a specific date, please order in advance or contact our team: we do our best to accommodate your timeline.
Thalassa and Pontos both evoke the wave but with distinct finishes. Thalassa features a polished wave that reflects light boldly. Pontos offers a brushed wave with a more matte, contemporary appearance. Both sculpted wedding bands belong to the plain band collection and are available in 18k gold or platinum.
Yes, Mayuri offers custom plain wedding bands starting at $850. You can personalize the width, profile, engraved pattern, and select your precious metal. Through exchanges with our team, sketches, and refinements on proportions, we design a unique wedding band that reflects your vision. Custom design is for those seeking a fully personalized piece beyond our collection styles.
Yes, the Vasuki wedding band with its sculpted twist is perfectly suitable for a man, and equally beautiful on a woman: it is a unisex ring. The twisted motif adds character without heaviness. The Musubi wedding band features the twist in a much finer version, designed primarily for a feminine hand. There are no absolute rules, however: a man seeking discretion may well prefer a very fine band.
To pair with a Mayuri engagement ring, choose a wedding band in the same metal: yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, or platinum. The Shunya half-round band in 2mm creates a harmonious match with most solitaires. The smooth Kanso or engraved Kléos bands also create beautiful sets. Contact us with your ring reference: we will recommend the most complementary pairing.

The questions we are asked most often about plain wedding bands: materials, care, symbolism and styling advice.
A plain wedding band offers timeless elegance and absolute everyday comfort. Without a setting, there are no stones to lose or tighten: the risk of after-sales service is much lower, and the ring becomes effortless to wear. It transcends eras without aging, pairs easily with other jewelry, and suits all lifestyles, even the most active. Its smooth or sculpted profile fits the finger perfectly. It complements a stone-set engagement ring naturally by playing on contrasts of texture and light.
An engraved wedding band features a motif chiseled or sculpted directly into the precious metal. At Mayuri Paris, Thalassa wedding bands evoke waves, Sobek reproduces scales, Kléos and Daphné celebrate the ancient laurel, Maât draws chevrons. These reliefs capture light differently than a smooth surface and add a unique visual signature to the ring.
Yes, a plain 18k gold wedding band is a wise choice for manual activities. The metal remains durable, the surface won't catch like a stone setting. Half-round styles in 2 mm or 3 mm, with rounded profiles, slide under gloves and minimize friction. It's also the best choice for professions requiring constant handwashing, medical fields in particular: a setting traps soap and tarnishes, a plain band rinses clean and regains its luster instantly. Yellow gold or rose gold develops a patina over time, and micro-scratches become a story engraved in the metal.
The half-round refers to a wedding band profile that is domed in a semicircle, as opposed to a full round that forms a complete cylinder. This classic shape dates back to Roman wedding bands and offers an ideal balance between visual presence and wearing comfort. The outer curve catches the light while the interior naturally follows the base of the finger.
18k white gold is perfectly suited to daily wear. Its silvery tone remains stable over time. A smooth white gold wedding band transcends seasons, pairs with all metals, and forms a neutral base for stacking other rings.
Akmon features a hand-hammered surface, where each facet catches light in an irregular, lively way. Kanso offers a flat profile with a matte brushed finish, refined and contemporary. Both wedding bands play with texture rather than sculpted relief, but Akmon remains more organic, Kanso more minimalist.
Platinum has a higher density than gold and remarkable resistance to wear. It scratches less easily, maintains its weight, and requires no rhodium plating. For a plain wedding band meant to last a lifetime, platinum offers maximum longevity. Its cool white reflection differs slightly from rhodium-plated white gold.
Stacking smooth or engraved wedding bands creates a play of textures, widths, and metals. A 2 mm Shunya wedding band in yellow gold can frame an engagement ring, while a Thalassa in rose gold adds relief. Half-round profiles nest together naturally. Mayuri Paris supports this composition by adjusting sizes so the rings slide together harmoniously.
The twisted wedding bands Vasuki and Musubi evoke the intertwining of two threads, a universal symbol of union and bonds woven over time. Vasuki refers to the Hindu mythological serpent, Musubi to the sacred Japanese knot. The twist catches light continuously, draws an infinite spiral, and brings movement to a simple ring.
An engraved 18k gold wedding band cleans with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush to reach the reliefs. Sculpted motifs like Sobek or Maât can trap fine dust in the recesses. An annual visit to a jeweler allows ultrasonic cleaning and a ring inspection. Natural patina in the engravings adds depth to the design.
A 2 mm wedding band suits men perfectly who seek discretion or already wear multiple rings. Width depends on hand morphology, finger thickness, and personal style. At Mayuri Paris, Shunya 2 mm or Sobek 1.5 mm offer a refined, elegant presence. A slim band in yellow gold or platinum remains perfectly visible and comfortable. Between two widths, our team can also create a custom width upon request.
Interior engraving is an integral part of the wedding band tradition. It transforms a ring into an intimate object, carrying a date, initials, or a chosen word. Mayuri Paris includes this personalization in each plain wedding band to celebrate commitment and inscribe a memory in the metal. Engraving is done in our atelier, with carefully spaced characters.
