Found the love of your life? Check! Magical proposal? Check! Wedding date set? Check check! It’s time to pick out your wedding bands, together! If you’re set on getting complementing wedding bands but not sure about your options read below to learn more.
Most women in the US prefer wedding bands that sit perfectly flush with their engagement ring. Very often the band has diamonds on it to complement the diamonds on the band of the engagement ring. Platinum and white gold have been most popular but in the past few years yellow gold, rose gold and even two tone have definitely made a comeback.
Men’s wedding bands are usually much simpler in appearance. Since the rings are worn alone and most men have wider and longer fingers compared to women, the bands are usually wider with cleaner, masculine angles. Men’s bands also don’t typically have diamonds, though some men do like a touch, and while plain smooth metal is most preferred, there are definitely more exciting and unique options available.
The idea of having complimenting wedding band designs is both romantic and meaningful. Choosing plain smooth gold bands is a common but certainly not the only option. Here are some considerations when choosing wedding rings that will complement each other beautifully.
Color
Coordinating your metal colors to match is one way to have a complimenting wedding band set. Whether you both choose white gold, platinum or yellow gold or a mix.
The touch of gold on the engagement ring and the men’s band ties these two together as a lovely complimenting set.
