Choosing the Best Wedding Band for Your Pear-Shaped Engagement Ring
Tip #1: Focus On The Shape Of The Band
With their delicate yet eye-catching shape, pear rings are one of the most unique engagement rings out there. And while we love them for that, the fact is they don’t pair well with the majority of wedding bands as the shape of the gemstone can result in an unappealing gap between the engagement and wedding band.
But here’s where we can help – According to expert jewelers, you just have to find a uniquely shaped wedding ring to complement the extraordinary pear. And we think that a curved piece is a great example of this.
Sophisticated with a modern edge, these wedding bands typically work by curving around the base of the pear gemstone while creating a beautifully cohesive look. Need we say more?
Tip #2: Swipe Right For A Matching Faceting Pattern
Psst…Want to know a little trade secret? Comparing faceting patterns is the easiest way to pair a pear ring with a wedding band. (Yes, it’s that simple!)
What are faceting patterns? Well, they’re basically polished planes that are created and arranged in different geometric patterns on a stone.
So, if two gems featuring different facet patterns are placed next to each other, the stack as a whole can wind up looking a little out of whack. And trust us, you definitely don’t want that!
Therefore, we recommend opting for a band with several round-cut gemstones as they are sure to pair well with your pear-shaped stunner and make it appear more brilliant.

Tip #3: Select The Star Of The Show
You like a little drama and you cannot lie. No wonder you picked such a modern engagement ring for women. And while we’re absolutely living for your flamboyant confidence, we’d be remiss if we didn’t keep you from going overboard.
Remember, pear-shaped rings (especially large ones with halos) are adored above all for their uniqueness. And just like the queen in you, they don’t like sharing their spotlight. So, make sure you pair it with a minimalist wedding band that doesn’t fight for attention and instead acts as the perfect finishing touch.
On the other hand, if your piece is a bit of a plain Jane, then pairing an extravagantly unique wedding band with your pear-shaped diamond is a great way to go. In this case, we won’t stop you from shooting for bands featuring large or intricate designs to amp up your stack’s intrigue quotient.
Tip #4: Choose Your ‘Forever’ Colors
TBH, all of the above tips are important. But, if you had to focus on just one piece of advice, then make sure it’s this one: Always pay attention to the color of your gemstone when selecting the best wedding bands for your pear-shaped diamond or colored gemstone ring.
There are two ways in which you can go about this:
1) Go Monochrome
The easiest way to do this is to make sure that the gemstones on your wedding band match those on your engagement ring. However, if you want to mix it up a bit, then opting for different shades of the same color (for example, pairing an aquamarine with a blue sapphire) is a fantastic way of getting that oomph that you desire.
2) Find Complementary Colors
Hey color queen, don’t think we forgot about you!
If mixing and matching hues is your middle name, then opting for complementary colors is a great way to add your signature style to your ring stack. However, we recommend pairing gemstones that belong to the same color scheme (ex., ruby with emerald or ruby with aquamarine). This will allow you to add different pops of color to your ring pile while also maintaining a stunningly cohesive look.
And if you’ve got or have been shopping for a diamond engagement ring, then rejoice! Because white can be paired with any gemstone color.
DID YOU KNOW? Colored gemstones aren’t just gorgeous, they are symbolic too. Take the ruby for instance. Representing love, this fiery beauty is a great way to showcase the intense bond you and your partner share. Can’t figure out which gem hue to pick? Just think of what your relationship represents and work backward from there! And don’t worry; with Angara, you’ll never run out of colors to choose from. We’ve got 35+ gemstones to help you express your love and celebrate your precious moments with her. After all, color changes everything for the better!
