How to Choose a Wedding Band for Your Engagement Ring
In a 2013 survey, David's Bridal, the wedding retailer company, found that over 57% of US women secretly hated their engagement ring. Reasons involved disliking the size (needed to be bigger), the color (not bright enough), or the style (looked too much like something their mother-in-law would wear.) If you think you might've picked out the wrong ring, no worries---you can always make amends with the wedding band. Below, we've created a guide to help you pick the right band. (No pressure!)
Why You Should Share One Metal for Your Engagement Ring & Wedding Band
Mixing different metals for your engagement ring and wedding band is a no-go. If your wedding ring is made from a hard metal, and your wedding band is made from a soft metal, the harder one will wear away at the softer one, creating everlasting incompatibility. You should choose the same metal for your band's engagement ring. (Matching them will also make them look nice!)
Consider Choosing a Wedding Band That is The Same Height As Your Wedding Ring
Does your wedding ring have a high basket setting? The setting can create a gap between your ring and band, depending on its height. Consider choosing a flush set if this gap matters; leave it alone if it doesn't.
Elevate Your Wedding Ring with Multiple Wedding Bands
If one wedding band isn't enough, you can always go with a stack of them. With a stack, you can symbolize your relationship with your partner, with each ring representing a different memory. As a bonus, the extra rings'll make your engagement ring look even flashier.
