It is an intimate experience to choose the right engagement or wedding ring. They are a symbol of your love and commitment to each other. A proposal ring or an early engagement ring are the best ways to show your commitment to your marriage. Traditionally, a wedding ring is a band that both partners receive when they exchange vows.
While traditional wedding rings and engagement rings have a long history, couples today have many options to personalize their rings to reflect their love and style.
There are three options for choosing your wedding rings.
Set for Bridal or Wedding
A bridal set is composed of an engagement ring and a matching wedding band for the bride. This is a popular choice as it eliminates the need to match rings or ring-stacking. It creates a comfortable, perfect fit when the shape of the engagement ring matches the shape of the wedding band. An engagement ring and a wedding ring should be matched to enhance their beauty and symbolism.
A wedding set combines a bride set and a matching band for the groom/partner. A wedding set includes all three rings. This will help you save time and money while you are busy planning your wedding.
You can get an engagement ring and a band separately.
Sometimes, it is impossible to have the engagement ring and the band together. Band selection is important, especially if you want to surprise your loved one by asking the question.
The key to finding a matching band for your engagement ring is to make sure it fits flush with it. Also, ensure that the band compliments the style of the ring. It is important to consider the shape of your band alongside your engagement ring. A curved band is an option, also known as a V-shaped, chevron or notched wedding band. These bands are designed with a curve on one side and can be paired with an engagement ring with a prominent center stone.
You should also match the size of the engagement ring with the size of the wedding band. This is especially important if you are wearing a pave-diamond engagement ring. Most people choose a matching metallic, which can be yellow, platinum, white, or rose gold. However, you can also mix metals if you wish.
Eternity and Wedding Bands Without an Engagement Ring
Many couples exchange their wedding or eternity rings at the ceremony, which is a growing trend. You can have them infinity-twisted, single, double or triple-beaded with a few diamonds or encrusted with diamonds. They don’t have to match or be made from the same metal. Each of you can express your love in a way that is meaningful for both of you.
Although not as popular, another trend is to choose a diamond eternity ring that is more fashionable than traditional wedding bands. It can also be worn alone.
No matter which option you choose, it is important first to explore your needs, narrow your options, keep your lifestyle in mind and set a budget. Relax and enjoy the exciting and fun process. After you have decided, you can now focus on planning your wedding and living happily ever after that.
