At Sunshine Diamonds UK, we believe jewellery should be more than an accessory — it should carry a story, a memory, or even a dream. Among the designs our clients adore, the diamond wishbone ring stands out for its graceful V-shape and deeper symbolism. It’s a piece that balances modern elegance with timeless meaning, making it as versatile as it is beautiful.
As our founder often says: “A wishbone ring isn’t just worn; it’s carried like a quiet promise. Every curve, every diamond is a reminder of hope, togetherness, and moving forward in life.”
A wishbone ring, sometimes called a V-shaped ring or chevron ring, takes inspiration from the traditional wishbone — a symbol of luck and hope. Its clever design allows it to:
When adorned with diamonds, the wishbone ring captures both the brilliance of craftsmanship and the poetry of symbolism.
Just like breaking a wishbone for luck, these rings carry the energy of hope and possibility. Many wear them during life transitions — a new career, a fresh chapter, or a personal milestone.
The two arms of the V meeting at one point beautifully symbolise two lives moving in the same direction. This is why many couples select wishbone diamond bands as wedding rings — a subtle yet profound expression of unity.
The forward-pointing design feels like momentum itself. With diamonds — symbols of strength and clarity — the ring becomes a daily reminder of confidence and progress.
Perfect for brides seeking a wedding band that curves gracefully around their engagement ring. It prevents the “gap” issue while adding sparkle and harmony
A diamond wishbone ring makes a thoughtful present for someone embarking on a new journey — whether that’s moving abroad, starting a new venture, or celebrating a personal achievement.
For those who simply want a meaningful, stylish piece — the wishbone ring works beautifully solo or stacked, without being tied to marital symbolism.
