A Couple’s Guide to Choosing Diamond Wedding Rings

Congratulations! You’ve popped the question and now it’s time to start planning your big day. Amongst the venue viewings, outfit shopping, and engagement parties, you need to start thinking about your wedding rings. While they’re traditionally more understated than engagement rings, we believe wedding rings don’t have to be just a gold band. 

Our collection of sustainable wedding rings features alternative silhouettes, from curved wedding rings to celestial-inspired shapes designed for easy stacking with our best-selling fantasy engagement rings. In this post, we’re sharing our ultimate guide to choosing diamond wedding rings and spotlighting 4 of our best-selling designs.

What to Consider When Choosing Your Wedding Rings

Traditionally, both partners buy each other their wedding rings. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t choose them together! Typically, you’ll want to choose a wedding ring with the same metal as the engagement ring – although some couples will choose different wedding rings that suit their personal style.

If you’re planning to wear your wedding ring over an engagement ring or eternity ring, it’s important to consider how they’ll stack together. Your rings should sit flush on top of each other without hitting any exposed diamonds or gemstones. Our stacked wedding rings come in an array of silhouettes to suit every engagement ring style. 

For couples seeking a non-traditional option, diamond wedding rings are a great alternative to buying an engagement ring. Our sustainably sourced precious gemstones offer a whimsical sparkle that you won’t find with traditional gold bands.
