You met the love of your life, trusted him with your deepest feelings and maybe went against them all to make him your partner by believing in yourself. Congratulations on your engagement! 🙂 You deserve to be happy.
Now, let’s see how you can pair your wedding and engagement rings. To get started, here are some wedding ring options for you:
Stackable Wedding Bands
Stackable bands are everybody’s first choice for their engagement rings due to their versatility and ease of personalization. They are a set of multiple metal bands of different designs that are nestled together. While a typical wedding band stack comprises 3 or 4 metal bands, you can choose as many of them as you want to create a unique combination. With stackable wedding bands, you get the option to mix and match different metals such as yellow, white or rose gold, silver and platinum, to name a few.
Stack two bands of different metals encrusted with diamonds to get a decent yet remarkable look. Stackable wedding bands are easy to pair with other rings because they bring a pop of color that completes the bridal set.
Contoured Wedding Rings
Contoured rings offer a pleasing visual combination with their designated engagement rings. A typical contoured wedding ring is fashioned according to the shape of an engagement ring, harmonizing with its curves and the overall design. The curved band of a contoured ring sits snugly with your engagement ring. Choosing a contoured wedding ring to match your engagement ring is a sure shot way of creating a fascinating mix.
Notched Wedding Rings
A notched wedding ring has a straight band with a small angled cut-out to fit the centerstone of an engagement ring. This small cut-out makes the duo look like pieces of a puzzle waiting to come together. Pairing a notched ring with your other ring will not only create a delightful illusion of a larger ring but also enhance the beauty of both rings.
A notched wedding ring is your go-to option if you have a minimalist engagement ring. Choose a notched wedding ring in a different metal than your engagement ring to attain a bold look.
Open Wedding Rings
Unlike straight wedding rings, an open wedding ring features a gap in the band that makes it easy to match with an engagement ring. You can have an open wedding ring decorated with two diamonds or color gemstones of your choice. Or, you can keep it simple and pair your engagement ring with a basic open wedding ring featuring a plain metal band.
Ring Jackets
Another great option for enhancing the overall sparkle of your engagement rings is a ring jacket. A typical ring jacket comprises two metal bands that are soldered at their sizing areas and have enough space in between to fit an engagement ring. The two bands of a ring jacket pair elegantly with the engagement ring, creating a flattering illusion of three rings.
This style of wedding rings is popular among modern brides looking for a wedding ring that amplifies the beauty of their engagement ring.
Valuable Pairing Recommendations
You’ve seen some wedding ring styles to match your engagement ring. Now, it’s time to take in some pairing suggestions regarding the centerstone of your engagement ring to have an exceptional match.
Round-cut Centerstone
Engagement rings featuring round-cut centerstones are easy to pair with wedding rings. The round shape brings a touch of versatility,giving people the leeway to style their round gemstone jewelry in almost every design. The styling options for your wedding ring are endless if you have a round engagement ring. You can choose a wedding ring in just about any design, from plain metal bands to intricately styled diamond-studded metal bands.
Emerald-cut Centerstone
An emerald-cut engagement ring is a statement piece in all its glory. Hence you need a wedding ring that matches the appeal of your engagement ring. To top off an emerald-cut engagement ring, you can opt for a wedding ring fashioned with round-cut accent diamonds. The sparkle of round-cut diamonds will brilliantly highlight the edgy design of the emerald-cut centerstone of your engagement ring.
Pear-cut Centerstone
The pear cut appears more feminine due to which it’s perfect for elegant engagement rings. So, if your engagement ring features a pear-cut stone, we recommend a contoured wedding ring for an awesome match. The graceful shape of your engagement ring stone will exquisitely blend with the contoured curves of your wedding ring. Another fantastic option will be a diamond-studded wedding ring jacket. The sparkling diamonds and versatile bands of a wedding ring jacket will create a remarkable combination with your engagement ring.
Trillion-cut Centerstone
A trillion-cut gemstone doesn’t need any frills to draw attention because its striking aura is enough to turn heads. If you have a trillion-cut engagement ring, we suggest that you go for a plain white or yellow gold wedding ring. Further, you can add an extra touch of love to this extraordinary combination by engraving each other’s initials.
Marquise-cut Centerstone
The pointed ends of the distinct marquise-cut makes it a perfect match for an elongated design. So, an open wedding ring will adorably pair with a marquise-cut engagement ring. Moreover, the gap of an open wedding ring can gracefully complement the flattering marquise-cut engagement ring centerstone.
