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 a solitaire engagement ring

A classic solitaire engagement ring is one of the most versatile styles to match and will sit beautifully with a plain band, or – should you choose to add extra sparkle – with a pavé diamond band. Solitaire rings often sit on a slender cross-section, you may wish to consider a tapered wedding band, where the band becomes thinner in the centre, in order for the rings to sit flush and create a beautiful ring pairing.

Delicate and feminine halo engagement rings make their own unique statement. If you don’t want to distract from the beauty of your engagement ring, opt for a simple wedding band. However, you can add a further touch of glamour by pairing it with a pavé diamond wedding band.

Ring Engraving

Ring engraving is a wonderfully effective way to pair your wedding rings and express your lasting love. As those special words encircle your finger, they add another romantic dimension to your wedding bands. Single lined text engraving can include your names, special dates and initials. For more detailed inscriptions that contain lengthy texts, such as a quote, you will need to ensure that the inner rim is wide enough to accommodate them. This is something that your nearest Authorised De Beers Jewellers should be able to help you with.
