MATCHING YOUR WEDDING BAND TO YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING
Matching your wedding band to your engagement ring is an important decision that requires careful consideration and attention to detail. By understanding the style and design of your engagement ring and choosing a wedding band that complements it flawlessly, you can create a beautiful and cohesive bridal ring set.
We're here to help you create the perfect wedding band that reflects your unique style and personality.
Understanding your engagement ring
Metal type and colour: Traditionally, brides opt for a wedding band with the same metal type and colour as their engagement ring to maintain a cohesive appearance. While this remains prevalent, mixed metal bridal ring sets are gaining traction due to their modern appeal and versatility in complementing various engagement ring styles.
Setting style: Assess the setting style of your engagement ring. Is it a classic solitaire, halo, trilogy, or vintage-inspired design?
Stone shape and size: Take into account the shape and size of the centre stone in your engagement ring. Whether it's a round, princess, cushion, or emerald cut diamond, selecting a wedding band that enhances the shape and size of your stone will result in a harmonious and timeless look.
Choosing the right wedding band
Flush fit: A flush fit wedding ring is meticulously crafted to sit seamlessly level with your engagement ring for a harmonious and refined aesthetic. This snug fit ensures that the two rings complement each other flawlessly.
Matched set: Collaborate with us to craft a wedding band that mirrors the style, width, and metal of your engagement ring shank. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted to ensure a perfect fit and cohesive style. Matching bands create a seamless look, while complementary bands add depth and contrast.
Curved and contoured: If your engagement ring has a unique shape or setting, we can create a curved or contoured wedding band in our Hatton Garden studio. Tailored to embrace the contours of your ring, this ensures a snug and comfortable fit while maintaining visual harmony between the two rings.
Open bands: These are characterised by a subtle gap and present an alternative approach to achieving a flush fit appearance. The gap accommodates the centre stone of your engagement ring, allowing it to snugly nestle within the wedding band.
Pairing a wedding band with a solitaire engagement ring
For those who prefer a timeless and understated look, a simple metal band is an excellent choice. A sleek metal band enhances the elegance of your solitaire ring without stealing its spotlight.
A diamond-accented band is a popular option to complement a solitaire engagement ring. Whether featuring delicate pavé-set diamonds or bright channel-set stones, a diamond-accented band adds more sparkle to a bridal ring set.
Pairing a wedding band with a trilogy engagement ring
Consider a wedding band that mirrors the design elements of a three stone engagement ring. Opting for a matching band with similar stone shapes or detailing creates a sense of symmetry and unity between the two rings.
Pairing a wedding band with a halo engagement ring
Halo engagement rings are commonly designed with a low setting, making a curved wedding band a good option to accommodate the ring's shape. To complement the sparkle and brilliance of a halo engagement ring, opt for a wedding band featuring diamond accents.
