How Do You Combine An Engagement Ring And Wedding Band? 

The first thing to know when choosing a wedding band is whether or not it will sit flush against the engagement ring. While many engagement rings in our collection feature elevated settings, there are plenty of options available where the diamond will sit above the band. The Petite Shared Prong Diamond Ring features an elevated design with a lowered center diamond, while the Waverly Diamond Ring features a lowered setting with a raised head.

Because these styles are simple and classic, you can pair them with a simple wedding band to create a unified look. Many Brilliant Earth engagement rings are designed to be paired with the coordinating wedding bands, but if your engagement ring has a fancy center stone or an intricate design that requires custom fittings, just tell our designers and they’ll be glad to help.

Contoured wedding bands, which fit flush with the engagement rings, are a great option for couples looking for a matching set that is also comfortable to wear. Although you can purchase these separately, wearing a contoured wedding band can give your bridal set a unique look because it follows the shape of your engagement ring.

Most designs are shaped at the front to follow the contours of your engagement ring, and they are straight in the back. This both works well with many engagement ring styles, such as solitaires or princess cut rings, and it also adds a modern twist to your bridal set.

Although the tradition of matching engagement and wedding rings has grown in popularity over the decades, don’t forget that we are continually creating our own traditions. While a flush-fitting band may not work with your engagement ring, and one with curves may feel awkward, consider wearing your rings on different fingers or adding stacking rings to your original set. Alternatively, stack the rings on the same finger but leave a gap between them.

Are Engagement Rings Supposed To Match Wedding Bands? 

There are no rules regarding how closely your wedding band should match your engagement ring. Some people prefer having matching bands, but others may like combining contrasting metal types and textures with diamond shapes and band widths.

Choosing a Metal (Sterling silver or gold)

While most people choose a wedding band made out of the same kind of metal as their engagement ring, it is becoming popular to mix the metals, creating a unique combination. Our Find My Matching Wedding Ring tool is a great starting point to help you find out what metal combinations will work best for you.

Once you’ve decided whether you want your wedding ring to sit flush to your engagement ring and settled on the metal that appeals to you, the decision about wedding band style is a choice between classic, contoured, notched, or diamond accent bands.

Classic wedding bands make a timeless choice for your bridal look. Whether a solid precious metal band or a classic diamond eternity band, classic wedding bands will complement your engagement ring and sit flush against it.

Contoured wedding bands are a great way to customize your look while embracing your engagement ring. The contoured band pairs particularly well with diamond engagement rings featuring fancy shapes or diamonds set in unusual patterns.

Diamond accent wedding bands are a chic and distinctive choice for brides who have selected a more classic style for their engagement ring. A diamond accent band may be just what you need to add personality to your overall bridal look.

Unlike a contoured wedding band, a notched wedding band is completely straight—it doesn’t curve around your engagement ring. Instead, it features a notch that allows the two rings to fit together like puzzle pieces.
