Ring Education: Wedding Set Guide

When it comes to commemorating a union, wedding sets are a brilliant way to combine various rings to create a harmonized look that signifies both commitment and style. From simple pairings of engagement rings and bands to intricate compositions with guards and wraps, there's a plethora of options to suit every taste.

When deciding on a wedding set, it's essential to consider not only aesthetics but also comfort, practicality, and how often you'll be wearing each piece. Whether you prefer the simplicity of an engagement ring with a straight band or the added opulence of guards and wraps, the right combination will resonate with your personal style and signify the timeless bond you share

 

ENGAGEMENT RINGS

The foundational piece of most wedding sets, engagement rings usually feature a prominent center stone, although designs can vary from solitaire to halo, three-stone, and more (refer to section 3 – Ring Styles).

 

WEDDING BANDS

 

Straight Wedding Band: A simple, unadorned band that may or may not have
set stones. It lies flat against the finger and doesn't curve or contour to
accommodate the engagement ring.

  • Appearance: Minimalistic, timeless, and versatile.
  • Use Cases: A perfect match for any engagement ring style, especially if the wearer wants to wear the wedding band alone occasionally.

Contour Wedding Band: Crafted to mimic the shape of the engagement ring, it contours around the main stone or setting.

  • Appearance: Provides a seamless look when paired with an engagement ring.
  • Use Cases: Suited for engagement rings with larger center stones or unique shapes that a straight band might not accommodate well.

 

     

    RING GUARD

     

    Essentially two bands (either straight or contour) that sit on either side of the engagement ring. They can be soldered together or worn as two separate pieces.

    • Appearance: Amplifies the engagement ring, making it look more substantial and adding layers of sparkle.
    • Use Cases: Ideal for those who want to elevate their engagement ring's presence or add extra protection to the main ring.

     

         

        RING WRAP

         

        This is a single piece that looks like two bands connected at the base, designed to wrap around the engagement ring, effectively framing it.

        • Appearance: Enhances the engagement ring by adding depth and dimension.
        • Use Cases: Perfect for individuals looking for a unified look that can easily be slipped on or off without dealing with multiple separate bands.
