Choose a metal that both you and your partner love, whether it's classic yellow gold, elegant platinum, or modern white gold.
Design
Your band style should resonate with both of you, whether it's a simple and timeless band or a more detailed design.
Finish
Consider the finish of the bands, whether you both prefer a polished or matte look.
Diamonds or Gemstones
Decide if you want to include diamonds or gemstones in both bands, and if so, choose stones that hold significance for both of you.
Engravings
Personalize the bands with meaningful engravings, such as initials, a special date, or even a shortened version of your vows.
Different Styles but the Same Metal
Do you want a total match?
Think about whether you want metals completely identical, or if you’re okay with a mixed metal color scheme for the engagement ring and wedding band.
Mixed complementary metals:
If your engagement ring uses a traditional metal, but you want to go alternative with the wedding band try styles that inlay titanium or tungsten in parts of the band for a more subtle look.
Go alternative, look traditional:
For a picture-perfect match, alternative metal rings can still be plated to pair with more traditional hues.
When your engagement and wedding rings don’t color coordinate, styling makes a difference. Stackable rings are a great way to incorporate your personal style and balance the difference in metals with rings styled to pair and stack together.
Keep it classic:
Sticking to classic silhouettes helps different metal wedding and engagement ring still look cohesive together. Try solitaire styles and minimalistic bands for a super sleek mixed metal look.
Embrace the contrast:
If matchy-matchy styles aren’t your thing, then lean into your ring’s unique styles. Choose a wedding band that stands on its own. It might contrast with the engagement ring instead of merging, to create something new and different.
While white diamonds are the most popular, you can also opt for colorful diamonds, like pink, blue, or yellow diamonds, for more character.
Get colorful with gemstones:
Diamonds aren’t your only option. Sapphire, amethyst, and other gems are popular for wedding styles, or you can choose special birthstones to add meaning to both of your rings.
