Wedding Ring
Buying Guide

It is popular to choose the groom’s wedding band based on the bride’s wedding ring. For example, if the bride selects a plain white gold wedding ring, the groom may choose a similar style with a thicker band. That said, personal preference is key, and the wedding ring should match their taste.

To choose the bride's wedding band, you should consider their style and taste. Consider the type of metal they prefer to wear in their jewellery and whether they would prefer a diamond wedding ring or a plain wedding ring. If they have a particularly large or unusually shaped engagement ring, you may decide on a shaped wedding band.

In short answer, no – it’s more of a past tradition that your wedding bands should match. You and your partner may like completely different styles which makes it trickier to find matching wedding bands you both love. It’s much more important that you both choose wedding bands that suit your individual style and aesthetic to solidify your love to one another.

A bridal set is where the engagement ring and wedding ring are designed and crafted to match perfectly in both shape and style. They can prove a good option for couples who have jointly decided on marriage or for those looking to upgrade their current set

As a general rule of thumb, your wedding band and engagement ring metal should have the same scale of hardness as each other to prevent scratches. If you’re looking to keep your rings in the best possible condition, choosing the same hardness metal wedding band as your engagement ring will ensure your rings stay as pristine as possible.

No, this will generally all depend on your engagement ring setting – whether its high or low. However just because it doesn’t sit ‘flush’ (meaning minimal gaps between rings), doesn’t mean they won’t pair together beautifully still. It’s more of a traditional thing for your wedding band to sit flush, but in modern day your wedding band can sit with your engagement ring however you want.
