Being able to match wedding and engagement rings is a good way to ensure your significant other can keep wearing both rings after the wedding ceremony. Today, we’ll look at the main factors to consider when buying a matching wedding and engagement rings.

 

Getting the Right Matching Rings

Quite a few factors play into finding the right matching rings. So, if you’re on the lookout for matching wedding and engagement rings – here’s what you need to know.

 

The Ring Size

You need to get rings of the same size for both the engagement ring and wedding ring. However, the issue starts when you can’t find the same perfect design for both. In this case, just resort to getting the ring resized and you should be good to go. If you’re unlucky, you might have to choose another design for the ring. However, as long as the designs complement each other, you’re all set.

 

The Right Metal for The Band

Make sure the metal of the bands match in the ring you purchase. That is, both the rings must be of the same metal – be it platinum or gold. If the metals are different the rings will wear out at different rates thereby ruining the overall aesthetic.

The next decision you need to make about the band is whether you want a plain old band or one with diamonds embedded along the length of the band. In the case of the latter, you would need to invest in two matching pairs of diamond-encrusted bands. However, if the designs don’t allow for it, the wedding ring might not fit right beside the engagement ring. Therefore, when choosing the type of band, if you want extra shine from your diamonds with a diamond band, ensure that you buy a matching pair.

Vintage Style Rings

If you’re buying vintage designs, you might want to get a diamond ring and an engagement ring that comes from roughly the same era. This way, you get matching designs while holding up a vintage look and feel with your rings. More modern designs don’t go well with older designs, and so, keep things consistent in terms of design and your matched rings will look fantastic together.

 

Wishbone Bands

Weddings ring with wishbone bands come with inward curves thereby making room for the engagement and allows the wearer to put on both rings at once. These are the type of bands you should be looking for in your wedding band to match your engagement ring. Moreover, they complement each other both in terms of design and are easy to wear together. Finally, these V-shaped rings are perfect when the engagement ring has a large centerpiece.

 

Conclusion

Some engagement rings come with pre-matched wedding rings which might appeal to your design needs. In this case, you would need to worry too much about matching the wedding rings but rather focus on finding the right pair. On the other hand, the designs are quite limited in this regard, and so if you want a custom design or something more uncommon, you will have to put in the extra effort. By following through on all the crucial points, we discussed today, you should find the right pair of engagement and wedding rings to combine and wear.
