Matching Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands

Guide to Matching Wedding Bands and Engagement Rings

One’s bridal stack – their engagement ring and wedding band – symbolizes a lifetime commitment and eternal affection. As this pair of rings is one they’ll likely be wearing for years to come, it should be beautifully representative of one’s unique personality and aesthetic preferences. To achieve a cohesive stack, each ring should complement the other, neither entirely overpowering the other. Our team at Albert’s Diamond Jewelers has put together a helpful guide to choosing rings that will make an ideal pair.

Pick a Precious Metal

Choosing rings that accentuate each other beautifully via metal types is essential. It is most common for brides to select rings of the same metal type. Doing so is an easy way to ensure continuity across the bridal stack. Choose a metal that looks wonderful on your skin tone and is sure to stand the test of time in beauty and durability. For a slightly more varied yet still cohesive look, you can mix metals, choosing hues that aren’t too contrasting such as white and yellow gold. This works exceptionally well if one or both rings are made using both metals.

Determine Style

Next, you’ll need to determine the overall look you’re trying to achieve with your bridal stack. For instance, if you’re looking for a more classic look, you might choose a three stone engagement ring and a polished wedding band. Those who prefer more eccentric styles could opt for a halo engagement ring and an eternity wedding band. The rings’ styles must mimic each other to avoid appearing disjointed when worn together.

Balance Aesthetics

Achieving balance across your bridal stack can be tricky, but it is more than possible with the help of professional jewelers like those that make up our team here at Albert’s Diamond Jewelers. Balance is essential because it ensures that neither ring is entirely overpowered by the other, but both rings work together as a team to create a stunning combination. Achieve this balance by choosing rings with repeating design elements, accent stone shapes, stone settings, and more.
