From plain metal bands to unique gemstone wedding bands, it’s important to consider how the wedding band complements the engagement ring and expresses individual style. See below for a guide that will help you discover the ideal match.
Plain Metal Wedding Bands
Although plain metal bands are timeless and comfortable, there are many different variations – from metal types to textures and widths. Women’s wedding ring metal options typically include white gold, rose gold, yellow gold and platinum. Textures range from matte, brushed or satin finishes as well as hammered, matte hammered or knurled finishes. For women’s wedding bands, widths range from slim 1.5mm to the widest option at 4mm.
Stackable Wedding Bands
Many women opt to pair their wedding band with their engagement ring to create a cohesive and personalized stack. A third band can be added to complement the set, or multiple thinner bands can be combined for a layered effect. Incorporating a ring guard can also enhance and protect the rings.
Pavé Wedding Bands
Pavé bands are designed with multiple rows of accent diamonds interwoven like cobblestones. The diamonds in this style of ring are closely set together so the metal is barely distinguishable from the diamond, providing a dazzling, glittering effect.
Eternity Wedding Bands
An eternity band is a ring adorned with diamonds or other gemstones that encircle the entire finger, chosen for ultimate shine and sparkle.
Curved Wedding Bands
A curved wedding band is characterized by an extended arc crafted to smoothly encircle the center stone of an engagement ring. Unlike straight bands, which may create a gap between rings, curved wedding bands sit flush against other styles, offering a seamless and luxurious appearance. These bands complement various ring stacks, ranging from simplistic to glamorous designs.
Gemstone Wedding Bands
5-Stone Wedding Bands
Usually featuring diamonds of equal size, this women’s wedding ring style is thought to represent the 5 traits of a committed relationship — love, trust, commitment, communication, and empathy — in a bold, symmetrical statement. 5-stone bands can also commemorate anniversaries.

When it comes to choosing a wedding band, women have various options for matching their ring to their engagement ring or bridal set, as well as coordinating with their partner’s wedding band. One option is to select a wedding band that complements the design of the engagement ring or bridal set, ensuring a cohesive and harmonious look. Alternatively, some women prefer to match their wedding band to their partner’s band, either by selecting matching bands in terms of metal type, width, or design, or by choosing complementary bands that reflect each other’s style and preferences.

When choosing a wedding band, we recommend first considering the metal, then the style and diamonds or gemstones of the engagement ring as a guide. The metals do not necessarily have to match, as mixed metals give a modern look. When considering the style of the wedding band, determine if you prefer the band to sit flush against the engagement ring or for there to be a small gap. For a wedding band that sits flush against the engagement ring, we recommend a classic band (plain metal, pavé or eternity), contoured bands or notched wedding bands.
The timeless and versatile plain metal band remains a popular choice for its understated elegance and seamless pairing with various engagement ring designs. Its simplicity allows it to complement any ring. Stackable wedding ring styles are also a popular way to complement the engagement ring with an element of personal style.
