Styles of Wedding Bands, Diamonds and Metals

Nicole Wegman

When choosing the perfect engagement ring and wedding band, consider your lifestyle and remember that bigger is not always better! If you are always working with your hands, or very active, it may not make sense to have a big chunky ring that can potentially get caught or snagged.

Big & chunky statement bands

These types of rings are great for stacking with your wedding band and can also be worn in mixed metals or on their own. They are normally thicker bands with full diamonds, but you can pick the size and width of your statement piece.

Simplistic & single prong bands

Simple and delicate and designed with round diamonds for a feminine look and feel. This style also pairs well with anything and everything!

Micro pave diamonds

Thin diamond bands that are great for stacking and mixing in platinum, rose and yellow gold. This style is effortlessly cool and will look great with any fashion style you have.

Emerald-cut

This is a classic but contemporary shape with super clean lines. It’s elongated and very, very flattering.

Oval-cut

This is a very popular style right now because they look a little larger than their carat weight (which is always a plus!) and the shape pairs well with most wedding bands. Not to mention they're very flattering on the finger!

Round shape

This has been the most popular shape for decades, and for good reason. It’s a classically beautiful cut that won’t be going out of style anytime soon!

Heart-shaped diamonds

This is a diamond band ring where the diamonds are shaped like hearts! Very unique and original and more one of a kind than other styles.

Platinum

Platinum rings are wonderful for brides who have a lot of allergies to other specific metals. When you wear something platinum, this metal is 90-95% pure, which means it’s less likely to cause you to break out.

Rose gold

Rose Gold rings and bands add a touch of blush to your look that’s perfect for your wedding day. We love this metal because it’s more unique than standard silver and has an overall romantic feel to it.

Yellow gold 

Yellow Gold is a mixture of silver, copper, pure gold and has a rich shine to it that's stunning! We love how this metal looks on any skin tone. 

Pro tip: Wear your engagement ring on your left hand when walking down the aisle to eliminate any fumbling during the wedding band exchange while standing at the altar!
