Match Your Engagement Ring With Your Wedding Band

Engagement rings and wedding bands are among the most prized and sentimental possessions after a wedding. You may pass these jewelry pieces down to succeeding generations. That's why you should find pieces you love – and that complement each other.

These rings represent eternal love and devotion, so they should suit your style and relationship. Here are a few helpful considerations to help you select a wedding band that matches your engagement ring.

The Style of Your Engagement Ring

Whether you have a solitaire diamond, a halo ring, or an antique-style ring, your wedding band's style should complement your engagement ring.

For example, if you have a solitaire diamond engagement ring, you may want to select a simple band without any additional embellishments. On the other hand, if you have an antique-style engagement ring with intricate details, you may want to choose a band with similar detailing.

The Metal of Your Engagement Ring

Some individuals want a wedding band that matches the metal of their engagement ring exactly. Others are open to mixing and matching metals.



If you want a wedding band that matches the metal of your engagement ring exactly, then you'll need to select a ring made of the same material. For example, if your engagement ring features white gold, you'll need to find a white gold wedding band.

On the contrary, if you're open to mix-and-match metals, you can consider a few different options. For example, you could pair a yellow gold engagement ring with a white gold wedding band or vice versa. You could also pair a rose gold engagement ring with a yellow gold or white gold wedding band.

The Gemstone of Your Engagement Ring

If your engagement ring has a diamond, you may also want to select a wedding band with diamonds. Similarly, suppose your engagement ring has a colored gemstone. In that case, you may want to choose a band with a similarly colored gemstone.

For instance, if your engagement ring has a ruby, then you may want to select a band with rubies or other red gemstones. Again, think about your style and the type of look you wish to achieve. This step will help you to decide on the ideal gem for both pieces.

The Shape and Size of Your Engagement Ring

You have a range of ring stone shapes, from round to emerald-cut and princess-cut rings. Each of these shapes represents a particular style, so your wedding band should match that.

A round engagement ring would not look so good with a wedding band with a square gemstone. Instead, a round ring goes perfectly with a band with round gemstones. Likewise, a princess-cut engagement ring matches a band with square or rectangular gemstones.

Besides the shape, the size of your engagement ring determines the suitable band. For instance, suppose your engagement ring is large and bulky. In that case, you may want to select a narrower wedding band. On the other hand, if your engagement ring is dainty and delicate, then you may want to choose a wedding band with a similar size and scale.
