The stacking engagement and wedding rings
Knowing the settings and other details of promise rings for couples is essential to choosing a wedding band. The features of classic engagement rings and unique styles are different. The design of your engagement ring, including the size and shape of the stone as well as any embellishments like a halo or a band around the center stone will influence the style of wedding bands that look best with it. The most common shapes for engagement rings are round, cushioned, princess, ovals, emeralds, pears, and marquises. Some of the most popular engagement ring styles include the solitaire, channel, bezel and halo styles.
You’ll need to think about how the couple jewelry will interact with your engagement rings. Do you want the band to sit flush with the engagement ring, leaving no space between them? Or would you like a little gap between the bands? Knowing your preferences and the details of the engagement ring will help you choose the right style wedding band. If your engagement ring has a high-profile setting, such as a Cathedral setting, there will be enough room under the diamond to allow the wedding band slide down and become flush with the engagement ring. There are many options available in terms of how the rings will look together.
When choosing your matching couple necklaces, you should also consider the metal of your engagement ring. A wedding band is usually made from the same metal as the engagement rings to create a uniform look. Combining yellow gold with platinum or white gold can create an appealing contrast. Selecting two different metals can help you create a unique look that is tailored to your personal style.
Purchase Tips
Several logistical tips will help you to find the right wedding band.
Knowing Your Budget is Important: It’s easy to get distracted when you are shopping for the perfect wedding band. You may end up spending more than you intended. You can keep the price in mind by setting a budget prior to shopping. Ask the jeweler for items in your budget range. Remember that the more carats a ring has, the more expensive it will be. Consider other options, such as lab-created simulants, which offer a stunning alternative to diamonds at a much more affordable cost.
Purchase together: Some jewelers and stores offer matching bridal sets at discounted prices, which take the guesswork out creating a stunning pair. It’s a great way to choose a wedding ring, but it doesn’t allow for as much customization.
Don’t forget your partner: Couples have traditionally chosen matching metal bands as a way to represent their unity and show that they belong together. It’s all about personal taste, but consider whether your wedding ring or your groom’s will be a part of your set.
Consider Your Lifestyle. If you use your hands or gesture a lot during the day and you speak, then a multi-diamond ring may not be for you. You are more likely to damage or dull the ring if you hit it against something, or if you get it dirty. There are many gorgeous and extravagant bands and rings available. However, not all of them may suit your lifestyle.
Try it on: Seeing a ring in person and the style of ring you like may make you decide to buy it. Try the ring if you can. You might find the perfect wedding band, or you may like a style of wedding band or combination metals you didn’t think you would.
Maintenance is important: When you are buying jewelry, it’s worth considering the maintenance of your rings. This includes wedding and engagement rings. Some of the problems include loose prongs, diamonds that fall out or the band getting scratched. A few visits to your jeweler each year will prevent many of these issues. However, larger stones and more intricate designs may need more frequent cleanings or more frequent inspections.
It may take you longer to decide where to place the wedding band and engagement ring together. You don’t want to have to scramble to find the perfect band before your wedding. You should start your search two to three months in advance so that you can experiment and browse for your perfect bridal set. You can also have the ring personalized or other customizations if you allow yourself enough time.
There is no right or wrong way to combine wedding bands and engagement ring. You can create a bridal collection that is unique to you by understanding your style and the basics about rings. You can use the above combinations to inspire your design but make sure you pick something that you love!
