Find Your Perfect Wedding Band at Mann’s Jewelers Wedding Band Weekend
If you are tying the knot in 2026, congratulations!
You likely have a million things on your to-do list, but picking out your wedding bands is easily one of the most important.
Long after the cake is gone and the venue is cleared, your rings are the everyday reminder of your commitment.
Shopping for rings should be fun, not stressful. That’s why we are so excited about the upcoming Mann’s Wedding Band Weekend.
This year, Mann’s Jewelers in Rochester, New York, is hosting Novell—a top-tier American ring manufacturer—for an exclusive three-day trunk show.
This isn’t your standard shopping trip; it’s a chance to browse an expanded collection of bands you won’t normally find in the display cases, talk directly to the experts, and even design something completely from scratch.

Why You Should Stop By
Going to a trunk show gives you a massive advantage when ring shopping. Here is what to expect if you attend Mann’s Wedding Band Weekend:
- See Things First: You get to try on Novell’s newest 2026 designs before anyone else.
- Make It Yours: See a ring you almost love? You can modify it. Want something totally original? You can custom-design a band that perfectly matches your vision.
- Talk to the Pros: A Novell specialist will be in the store to answer questions, explain different metals, and help you find the right fit for your lifestyle.
- Save Some Money: Trunk shows almost always feature special pricing and promotions you can’t get any other time of the year.
Who is Novell?
Novell has been making high-quality wedding rings for over 45 years. They are known for their incredible attention to detail and commitment to ethical sourcing. Best of all, every Novell band is made-to-order right in Rahway, New Jersey, meaning your ring is crafted specifically for you, right here in the US.
Wedding Band Trends We Are Seeing for 2026
Whether you want something traditional or a bit out of the box, 2026 is bringing some fantastic options to the table:
- Tantalum for Men: This is a huge trend right now. Tantalum is a dark, sleek, and highly durable metal. It’s scratch-resistant, hypoallergenic, and surprisingly budget-friendly. Novell is bringing an exclusive Tantalum collection to the show that you definitely want to check out.
- Playing with Texture: A high-polish finish isn’t your only option. Matte, brushed, and hammered textures add character to a ring. You can even mix finishes on a single band.
- Mixed Metals: Can’t decide between white and yellow gold? Get both. Mixing gold tones with platinum creates a modern, custom look.
- Pops of Color: Traditional white diamonds are classic, but we are seeing a big shift toward colored gemstones and black diamonds for both men’s and women’s rings.
- Ethical Choices: Couples care about where their jewelry comes from. Expect to see plenty of recycled metals and responsibly sourced stones.
- The Classics: You can never go wrong with a traditional, high-dome plain band in gold or platinum. It’s a timeless choice that will look just as good in fifty years as it does today.
