Finding the rightwedding bandto match your engagement ring is all about discovering your perfect mix of both practicality and style. You want to choose the ring band to fit the design and theme of your engagement ring while still working with your personal style. But how do you choose? Do you go for something that creates a perfect match or mix things up and have a silver engagement ring and gold wedding band combination?




There’s a lot of choice out there and it’s important to always keep in mind that you’ll be wearing these things for the rest of your life, so you really want to make the right choice. Here are a few top tips we’ve learnt along the years for finding the perfect matching engagement ring and wedding band combination.

Be Specific with Details

Whether your partner surprised you with anengagement ringor you helped to choose it, there was plenty that went into making the final decision. Finding the right ring size, selecting the band thickness, and choosing the perfect metal type are all factors that had to be carefully considered to make your ring just right. To find the perfect matching or complementary wedding band, you’ll want to keep these details in mind and stay specific.

You can often use the same ring size for your wedding band although it’s important to check that it will still fit. Our fingers, and a ring itself, can fluctuate in size depending on various factors like temperature and how soft the ring’s metal is, so if you notice that your engagement ring is tight or loose, you’ll probably want to re-measure and resize.

Matching the metal type is another important detail to consider. You don’t have to match them – plenty of people love that juxtaposition of cool silver and warm gold together – but it’s a detail to keep in mind so that they don’t clash too much. Also make sure you consider the gemstones in your engagement ring – will your wedding band also have stones? Or will it be more traditional and be simple metal? Have a look around for inspiration too as this can help you along the way.

Chat With Your Partner About What They Want

It may sound simple, but make sure you have a sit-down conversation with your partner about your rings. Are you planning on having matching wedding bands? In which case, you will need to learn about each other’s taste and preferences. If you’re not bothered about them matching, talk about this too. It’s important to both be happy with the decisions you’re making – you’ll both be wearing these for the rest of your lives, after all.

Matching Wedding Ring & Engagement Ring Ideas

When shopping around for your wedding band to match your engagement ring, we have some helpful tips on some of our most popular styles of engagement rings that can help you find the right fit. So, whether you have a stunning solitaire engagement ring or something a little more unique like a fancy shaped ring, we’ve got you covered.

Classic Solitaire Engagement Rings

As one of our most popular types of engagement rings, the classic solitaire is designed to accentuate the centre diamond as much as possible. For this reason, we’d recommend going for a simple plain wedding band which sits nicely cushioned to the diamond or gemstone, giving it the prominence, it truly deserves. This adds a nice metal cohesiveness to the overall look and keeps the overall feeling clean and minimalistic.

Halo Engagement Rings

If your ring features that gorgeous halo-induced sparkle already, opting for a wedding ring with side stones or a halo design instantly add a feeling of texture to the entire hand. Seeing as how these style engagement rings contain much smaller diamonds, a full eternity ring lines up nicely with these designs, complimenting them even further and giving a gorgeous shine. You can match up the carat weight of the smaller side stones to the exact carat weight of your new wedding band to make sure you get the exact match you need. Although full eternity rings aren’t traditional wedding bands, they make a gorgeous, sparkly option for those who like their jewellery to have that extra bit of glamour.

Uniquely Shaped Engagement Rings

In the case that your engagement ring features a unique shape, in the sense that your centre diamond sticks out at an angle, then you may like to consider a contoured wedding ring that will wrap around that particular shape. This kind of step will require a lot more detailed advice and here at Diamonds Factory we actually offer a bespoke service that can help you in the right directly. Although a little trickier than the norm when finding the perfect matching wedding ring, when pulled off well, it will result in a perfectly nesting set.

Some Final Tips & Tricks

Stick With the Same Colour Metals

When it comes to metal types, there are two choices – sticking with the same metal type or complimenting it with a totally different type. Matching the metal type can give your rings a cohesive feel. Make sure to consider the carat purity of your metal, as there is often a subtle difference between two different purities. E.g., 18ct yellow gold and 9ct yellow gold will have different levels of yellow tones. As a general rule, the 9ct variants tend to have a duller, softer look that would stand out when sitting next to a ring that is a bright and brilliant 18ct.

Choose Different Colour Metals

Choosing a ring of a different metal colour for your wedding band helps each ring stand out as individual pieces of jewellery. You could opt for a more precious metal for your wedding band to put more weight behind the meaning of the ring, or simply choose different metals so you can wear your rings with any outfit.

Matching Bridal Sets

If the search for an exact match isn’t going as planned, then you might want to consider giving yourself a complete upgrade with a bridal set. With a perfectly paired engagement ring and wedding ring in one set, you can take care of two tasks at once as well as go through the joy of shopping for a brand-new ring. A beautiful bridal set means you can stylistically match both rings together without having to worry about them clashing.
