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.


Choose Popular Pairing Combinations Of Ring And Band 

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


Some classic wedding band and engagement ring combinations are:

  • Classic Pair: This includes a solitaire engagement ring along with a plain metal band.
  • Solitaire with Diamond Band: This tends to increase the sparkle along with maintaining simplicity.
  • Vintage Engagement Ring with an Engraved Band: Both of them are well known for complementing intricate details.
  • Halo Engagement Ring with a Contoured Band: This design is best for flush-fit.
  • Different Shapes with Unique Bands: Oval rings are suitable curved bands, and on the other hand marquise rings go well with open or V-shaped bands.


Some Mistakes to Avoid When Pairing a Ring and a Band 

When you are a wedding band, don't do these common mistakes:

  • 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.


How Do You Keep an Engagement Ring And a Wedding Band Together? 

If you want to prevent the shifting of your wedding band and engagement ring, keep these things in mind:

  • Soldering: In this both wedding band and engagement rings are fused together with a permanent solution.
  • Ring Guards or Inserts: This is the best option as it is flexible, so you don't need any alterations to hold the rings in the place.
  • Curved or Notched Bands: They are specially designed to fit around specific ring settings.

Always consider to focus on comfort, fit, and style in any cases where you are opting for a classic pairing or going for a unique design. Think and explore different combinations at LGD and find the perfect match which reflects your personal taste.
