You’ve designed the engagement ring of your dreams and it’s time to now find the right wedding band. Sounds simple, but finding the perfect pairing is not for the faint of heart. Today, we’re diving into the secrets you need to select a beautiful wedding band that pairs perfectly with your stunning engagement ring.
Don’t Match Your Band
For years, it was trendy to match your wedding band to the style of your engagement ring. While this might make sense on paper, what actually ends up happening is the two rings blend together instead of standing apart as two unique, beautiful designs.
Instead, try on bands with your engagement ring, especially ones with a different style. Look for bands you love because, more often than not, you’ll end up wearing your wedding band solo rather than your ring or the set together.
Geometry is Everything
Many jewelry stores only have wedding bands with round diamonds in stock. While this shape is stunning, different shapes will add interest and depth to your wedding set. While you’re ring shopping, try on various shapes, like:
- Baguette — Long rectangular diamonds for an Art Deco glimmer
- Oval — Wide oval-shaped diamonds that add more sparkle
- Marquise — Long, elliptical shape with pointed ends for a vintage vibe
Does that mean you shouldn’t get round diamonds? Absolutely not. But trying on wedding bands with different shapes will help you see which shape best compliments your engagement ring and creates a wedding set that is uniquely you.
