Choosing the Right Wedding Band

Is your big day approaching? Whether you’re in the early stages of planning or are attending to final details to make sure everything goes off without a hitch, choosing the right wedding band to match your engagement ring is the perfect finishing touch that grounds two incredible special days in your memory forever. At Paris Jewellers we’re proud to partner with couples to find the right wedding band for your big day.

The Purpose of a Wedding Band

Traditionally, wedding bands are used on the day of your ceremony as part of the exchange of vows between couples to symbolize the sealing of their love and commitment to each other. Whether you opt to wear your engagement ring and wedding band together, or just the band solo going forward, your wedding ring holds the memory of one the most important days of your life close to your heart.

Complimenting Your Engagement Ring

One of the important aspects of choosing a wedding band is matching or complimenting your engagement ring. Whether you want something that blends seamlessly or adds a little something extra to your ring set, keeping the following details in mind will make it easier to find a good fit: 

Your Engagement Ring Setting

Not all wedding bands are universally suited to match every engagement ring, which can lead to a jarring mismatch if you’re not careful. Knowing the cut and setting of your ring will make it easier to choose a complimentary band that enhances, rather than competes with your engagement sparkler.

Choosing the Right Metal

Typically wedding bands are selected in matching metal to your engagement ring, but differing alloys or shades can be combined to create a beautiful contrast if you so choose. Ultimately, the only person whose opinion matters when it comes to creating a new style is your own, so feel free to take charge and get creative! 

Common Ring Shapes and Band Pairings

Need a few ideas to get started on the right foot? Popular combinations for engagement and wedding bands include:

• Round engagement rings and curved or contoured wedding bands
• Marquise, pear, and oval engagement settings with a chevron wedding band
• Halo settings with a complimenting pave band.
