How to Choose a Wedding Band To Match Your Engagement Ring?

Introduction:

Your engagement ring signifies love and commitment, and your wedding band completes it, the same as two pieces of puzzle fitting together. Choosing the right men's wedding band or wedding band for women is a mindful decision so that the band enhances your ring, not overpower it. In this article by Loose-Grown Diamonds, understanding important factors such as style, metal type, and fit is necessary while selecting the perfect wedding band for your Wedding Ring. 

Some Factors Considered Pairing an Engagement Ring With a Wedding Band 

The most important point is finding a wedding band that resembles your personal taste along with adding beauty to your engagement ring. There are a lot of factors which determine the pairing of an engagement ring with a wedding band. 

Engagement Ring Style-

The style of your Engagement Ring is very important in choosing a matching wedding band. 

Keep in mind:

• A solitaire engagement ring pairs well with a simple band. 
• A halo or vintage-style engagement ring looks the best with intricate designs.

Choose the Right Metal-

Conveniently, wedding bands are made from the same metal as the engagement ring to give a good cohesive look. But white, yellow, rose gold and platinum metals can be mixed to create a unique and striking look. At LGD we will help you select the best one suitable to your needs.

Ring Setting-

The setting of your engagement ring is important in determining the type of wedding band that will fit best. For examples:

• Prong settings of the ring allows more versatility in the choices of the band.
• Bezel settings suit best with simple, smooth bands.
• Halo settings of wedding rings go best with a contoured or notched wedding band.

Consider Comfort and Fit-

Considering your comfort before getting your ring is essential, look for a wedding band and engagement ring that sits flush against each other. If your engagement ring’s setting is not allowing a straight band from fitting flush, select a curved or contoured band so that it can be wrapped around the center stone. Opting for an open band is also considered, this consists of a small gap which allows the engagement ring’s center stone to get nestled within it. 

Consider Ring Shape and Size-

Your wedding band should complement the shape and size of your engagement ring’s center stone. Oval, pear, and marquise shapes require specific band shapes for a perfect fit. Always make sure that the wedding band perfectly sits with the engagement ring, it enhances the overall look. 

Both curved and open bands are becoming popular options as they provide a stylish and practical solution, but the issue is their limited resizing flexibility.

Secondly, if you don't want a flush fit you can go for separately wearing your rings or can beautify the space between them so that they give a classic and elegant aesthetic look.

Wedding bands and engagement rings need to pair flawlessly to give a timeless and effortlessly elegant look.

• Metal Mismatch: Different metals of ring and band may lead to durability differences and also variations in color are also seen.
• Choosing an Uncomfortable Fit: Make sure that the band sits comfortably, and it doesn't bother you in doing daily work.
• Disparity in Width: Keep a keen eye on the width of the band, as a very thin or very thick band will look unbalanced when worn next to your engagement ring.
