Diamond Wedding Rings Vs. Plain Wedding Bands: Which One Defines Your Love Story?

How to Pair Wedding Bands With Different Diamond Shapes

The perfect wedding band is one that fits your diamond engagement ring like a puzzle piece and also reflects your individual sense of style. So, we’ve curated some tips for pairing a wedding ring with a diamond engagement ring based on the diamond shape.

  • Round: A round diamond engagement ring is both classic and versatile and can be easily paired with any kind of wedding band or ring. You can opt for a plain wedding band with a diamond engagement ring or up the wow factor with a diamond-encrusted style.
  • Oval: If your diamond engagement ring is oval, a curved or contoured band hugs it perfectly for a seamless fit. For a bold look, try an eternity band— its endless sparkle pairs beautifully with the soft, elongated shape.
  • Emerald-Cut: An emerald-cut diamond engagement ring is the dream, right? While it makes a statement by itself, you can pair it with one of our women’s diamond wedding bands to add even more sparkle to your love story.
  • Pear: A pear-shaped diamond engagement ring will look great with a contoured wedding band that complements its stunning curves perfectly.

At Angara, we offer a stunning curation of diamond engagement rings and wedding bands to choose from. So, go ahead and find your perfect symbol of love right away!

Choosing the Right Metal for Your Diamond Engagement Ring

Now the simplest way to create a beautiful stack is to pick a wedding band in the same metal as your diamond engagement ring. So, if you’ve picked a stunning white beauty for your engagement ring, then we recommend getting a wedding band in white gold or platinum. Trust us, this is a pairing for the ages.

However, if you’re someone who loves to experiment and can’t resist a striking contrast, then you can go ahead, get creative and even mix metals. For instance, if you have a white gold or platinum diamond engagement ring, then you can pair it with a wedding band in rose gold or yellow gold for a breathtaking look. And, if you’re sporting a two-tone gold diamond engagement ring, then a wedding band in either of the two tones is a great choice.

Just remember, there are no rules when it comes to pairing a diamond ring with a wedding band. Just follow your heart and pick the pieces that match your personal style and reflect your unique bond.

If you’re still searching for the perfect diamond engagement ring, we’ve got you covered—check out our gorgeous collection and find ‘the one’!
