You have your beautiful engagement ring, but now you need to find a matching wedding band. You’re faced with endless choices of stones, metals, and styles, so how do you know which one is the best? While some engagement rings can also be worn as wedding rings, they’re usually two separate pieces. Bob Colombo of Jewelry Clinic in Rochester, NY, knows all about them, which is why he’s shared some ideas to help you understand how to better coordinate the two.

How to Coordinate Wedding Bands & Engagement Rings 

Classic Solitaire                                        

This is a versatile style. Nearly every type of wedding ring will work, from a plain band accentuating the solitaire to an embellished design that balances it. When picking a band for this style, the choice depends on the look you’re going for and the type of lifestyle you lead.

Uniquely Shaped

When your ring is unusually shaped, it can be a challenge to find a wedding band that completes the look. It’s important to choose a style that will lay flush with the original. This could be one that wraps around the largest stone or one that fits under it.

Colored Gem

The goal with a colored stone is to find a ring to complement it, not compete with it. One suggestion is to find a band that incorporates your colored stone as an accent. Another popular choice is a plain band with no stones, so the focus can be on the engagement ring stone.
