From TV romance to eternal love – couples' ring choices for life

The reality show's second season has touched hearts across the country. Three couples – Karin & Niklas, Nathalie & Wictor, and Karolina & Jacob – went from first meeting in the capsules to vows of eternal love. In this post, we delve into their ring choices – and why they chose Schalins when it was time to say yes.

For those who are planning their own wedding, thinking about buying an engagement ring, or simply love love stories – this is for you.

💜 Karin & Niklas – A mix of style and symbolism

We got to follow Karin & Niklas on a journey from curious conversation to love, engagement and finally – wedding. When it was time to choose rings, Karin fell for an elegant solitaire ring combined with a timeless alliance ring, both set with lab grown diamonds. A conscious and sustainable choice, made in Jämtland – where every ring from Schalins is shaped by hand with the greatest care.

Niklas' choice? A stylish men's ring in rose gold – an exciting contrast to his otherwise silvery jewelry style. The unexpected combination became a symbol of how love can be about complementing each other – rather than being the same.

💜 Nathalie & Wictor – Quiet love, strong choices

Nathalie and Wictor may not have been the loudest couple on the show – but their bond was unmistakable. Their love grew in silence, but their choice of wedding rings says it all.

Nathalie fell for a ring from the North collection, made of red gold and adorned with lab grown diamonds. The design is stylish and timeless – just like their love. Wictor chose a classic smooth ring in red gold, a beautiful and solid choice that exudes security.

Both rings are made from 100% recycled fine gold, in Schalin's own goldsmith's shop in Östersund - a reminder that beauty and sustainability can go hand in hand.

💜 Karolina & Jacob – Sparkling passion in every detail

Karolina & Jacob both chose to express their love through rings from the I'm in Love series – and the result was a perfect harmony of shine and strength.

Karolina wore a halo ring with side stones, combined with a classic alliance ring, both set with natural diamonds. A choice that reflects both her elegant style and appreciation for quality. Jacob matched with a 6 mm smooth gold ring – wider, powerful and at the same time stylish. Two contrasting expressions, but completely in sync.

Schalins only uses conflict-free diamonds according to the Kimberley Process and works with European suppliers - an important security for many couples today.

What do their choices say about today's ring trends?

The three couples' ring choices show a clear trend: personality, awareness and emotion take precedence over traditional templates. Many today choose wedding and engagement rings that reflect their unique relationship – not just what is "common".

Here are some trends we see in future brides and grooms:

• Rose gold remains popular thanks to its warm tone and classic feel.
• Lab grown diamonds are gaining ground – affordable, ethical and just as sparkling as natural ones.
• Combinations of plain rings and diamonds create contrast and unity.
• Stylish design is appreciated for its timelessness and the ability to be worn every day, for life.

For those of you planning a wedding: how to find the right ring

Choosing an engagement or wedding ring is a big and personal process. Here are three tips from Schalins to help you find the right one:

• Start with your lifestyle and feelings. Your ring should be worn every day – choose something that reflects you.
• Think long-term. The design should feel right now, but also in 30 years.
• Invest in quality. A ring from Schalins is made in Sweden from genuine materials with the highest craftsmanship.
