Purchasing a second wedding band is common for many couples. The additional piece serves to enhance as well as customize traditional ring and band sets. Some ladies  even like to wear it solo on a busy day at the gym or while running errands. However, finding the perfect one is easier than imagined at Sartor Hamann with their wide selection. Whether you're preparing for your wedding or an upcoming anniversary, here's everything you need to know about choosing a second wedding band.

A Guide to Choosing Your Second Wedding Band

Thankfully, there are no rule these days! Traditionally, wedding bands were matched exactly to the bridal ring. However, modern trends encourage individuality with mixing and matching two or more metals. For instance, if your engagement ring is white gold or platinum, choose the first band in yellow gold and the second band in rose gold. Plain or with diamond accents — the choice is yours! A combination creates a distinctive appearance that's both beautiful and unique — a perfect reflection of every marriage.

Many couples also infuse an extra bit of personality into their sets by choosing a second band with colored gemstone accents like sapphire or ruby. Since most wedding rings primarily utilize a diamond setting, the addition of color in the band creates an eye-catching contrast that's visually compelling.

How to Find the Right Match

Choosing the second band requires some thought. Even with mixed metals, every piece of the set needs to compliment one another. Achieving this quality is the most challenging for couples because a band that stuns on its own may not necessarily work with the rest of the arrangement. Fortunately, the assistance of a caring salesperson from Sartor Hamann can make this process incredibly easy. They offer the knowledge and keen eye for the design necessary to find the ideal match.
