The Pros Of Wearing Matching Wedding Bands
You have a decision to make–to match or not to match? That is the question! To help you decide for yourself, let’s explore the pros of rocking matching wedding bands.
A Special Symbol of Unity
Matching bands aren’t just accessories. From the moment you exchange your rings at your wedding ceremony, they become a visual representation of your shared love story. Matching wedding rings tell the story of your unity, bond, and commitment at a glance. On your wedding day and for a lifetime, they tell the world, “we’re in this together, forever.”
Pleasing Aesthetics
There’s something undeniably charming about the visual harmony of matching bands. They create a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing look, reflecting the harmony, balance, and connection within your relationship. A beautiful set that complements both partners is like a love story told in gold or platinum!
Simplifies Decision-Making
Opting for matching bands can simplify the decision-making process. Instead of searching for two perfect rings, you only need to find one perfect set that resonates with both of you. This streamlines the ring shopping process and leaves more time for fun stuff like cake tasting and honeymoon planning!
Easier to Customize
Getting matching bands makes customization a breeze. Whether you want to engrave an intricate design, a special date, your initials, or a shared sentiment, you can do it all at once when you get your rings together.
How to Match Your Wedding Bands
You can choose identical wedding bands if that works for you as a couple, but that’s not the only way to match your rings. You can also opt for rings that have some differences, yet are visually similar enough that they’re obviously a set. This second option allows you to have matching rings while also expressing more of your personality and personal style.
So, if you want to get rings that are different but still match, what should you look for? You’ll want to choose rings that share design details that tie them together visually. For example, rings that have the same precious metal color, stone shape, or overall design style.
If you want your rings to look like they match closely, they should share most of the same design details. If you’re more flexible, they can share just a few design details. It all comes down to personal preference. Note that this is true for both couples wedding jewelry and bridal jewelry sets! So, keeping this in mind can help you create the perfect engagement ring set as well.
Let’s go over some specific things to consider matching–or not matching!
Style Match
One detail to consider is overall design style. Choosing rings with the same overall style will go a long way when it comes to matching. For example, a minimalist, contemporary band will look more cohesive when paired with another minimalist, contemporary ring.
Stone Match
If your wedding bands will feature diamonds or gemstones, consider choosing gems of the same type, color, shape, and size–or at least gems that share a couple of these elements.
An example of a perfect match would be two rings that both feature a one carat princess cut blue diamond. An example of a looser match would be a ring with a one carat round diamond matched with a ring adorned with small round accent diamonds in pave settings. This second example has different diamond weights, but the same diamond shape and color.
Metal Color Coordination
Platinum, white gold, rose gold, or yellow gold–which metal type will you choose? Choosing the same metal, or at least a metal with the same color, will go a long way toward making your rings match. However, if you each prefer different metals, you can still make that work by matching other design elements. You can also explore two-toned wedding ring designs that blend your personal preferences together!
Matching Engravings
Sometimes, all you need to get a match is a strong design detail. One of our favorites for wedding ring sets is matching engravings. Handcrafted engravings are a beautiful way to accent your rings–and help them become a perfectly matched set!
