Engagement ring pairing

Finding the perfect engagement ring can often take precedence over the choice of wedding band. Since an engagement ring will typically only be worn alone for a few months, however, it’s a good idea to consider the style of band you or your partner will want at the same time as you purchase the diamond engagement ring. You may even decide to buy both rings at the same time, as a pair.

Whether you want a wedding band that contrasts with the engagement ring, or you wish to maintain a unified aesthetic, there are a few things to consider when selecting the perfect band. These include the thickness of the band, the type of metal, and also the setting. Most importantly, you will want to choose a style that uniquely reflects your partner’s individuality.

Pairing vintage engagement rings

Whether it’s from the 1920s or 30s, Victorian, Edwardian or Art Deco era, there is something inherently magical about a vintage-style engagement ring.

Be daring – and stay true to the ‘something old, something new’ tradition – by pairing a vintage-style engagement ring with a modern wedding ring to create a combination that honors both their classical and contemporary shapes. Alternatively, maintain the inherent beauty of the vintage-style engagement ring by pairing it with a thin or braided wedding band.

Pairing Forever

There are many wonderful ways to match your wedding ring with your engagement ring. The key is to create a pairing that reflects you, or your partner’s, personality and style. Of course, if you decide that your engagement ring sits beautifully on its own, you can also place your wedding band on your right hand. 

Regardless of what engagement ring or wedding band you choose, it’s the meaning of the rings that matters the most. Individually, we have our own stories; your engagement and wedding rings express your story united as a couple. They are a tangible reminder of the special moments, occasions and emotions you’ve experienced together. With no beginning or end, your engagement and wedding rings are a unique reflection of you and your partner as soulmates, and a symbol of your eternity together, now and Forever.
