When it comes to picking out an engagement ring, many couples find themselves agonizing over the
perfect choice. But what about when it’s time to pick a wedding band? How can you ensure that
your wedding band will complement your engagement ring (or vice-versa)?
Here are some of our favorite tips for complementing your engagement ring with your wedding
band.
Tip 1: Consider Your Engagement Ring’s Metal
One of the first things you’ll want to think about when choosing a wedding band is the metal. What
kind of metal is your engagement ring made from? Is it white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, platinum,
or something else entirely? Once you’ve figured out the metal, you can start thinking about which
type of wedding band will complement it best.
If your engagement ring is made of yellow or rose gold, we recommend choosing a wedding band in
a similar hue. You can mix and match metals if you want, but often find that matching rings in a
similar metal shade create a more cohesive overall look.
Alternatively, if your engagement ring is platinum or white gold, opt for a white gold or platinum
band to keep things coordinated. Again, you can always mix and match metals if you prefer, but
bands in the same metal generally work best together.
Tip 2: Consider The Style Of Your Engagement Ring
The next thing you will want to consider is the style of your engagement ring. Is it a solitaire? A halo
setting? An eternity band? The style of your ring should help to dictate what type of wedding band
will complement it best.
For example, if you have a solitaire engagement ring, we recommend choosing a simple wedding
band. A slim, dainty eternity band may also be a good choice – just make sure that there are no
diamonds or gemstones set too close to the center stone of your solitaire (that way, they won’t be
competing for attention).
If you have an ornate engagement ring with lots of diamonds (like a trilogy engagement ring or halo
setting), we recommend choosing a slim band with minimal design and gemstones. A plain metal
band is often the most popular choice, or one with just a few small accent stones.
Ultimately, you don’t want your wedding band to overshadow your other ring – the two should
complement each other without detracting attention from your engagement ring.
Tip 3: Get Creative!
There are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to choosing a wedding band to complement your
engagement ring – it’s all about the best fit for you, and what means the most to you as a couple. So
don’t be afraid to get creative! If you love the look of an eternity band stacked underneath a
solitaire, then go for it! It’s your opportunity to style and wear your rings together in a way that
means the most to you.
