WEARING WEDDING RING
WITH YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING
There are many ways you can
wear your wedding jewelry,
but most brides love to
wear their rings together
on the ring finger
of the left hand
in a beautiful
bridal set.
A Matching Wedding Ring
Many brides and grooms love a bridal set that matches perfectly in every respect. In these pairings,
the engagement ring and wedding ring contain all the same details—precious metal, diamond accents
and placement on the band, as well as overall width and height.
These matching bridal sets will often sit “flush,” with small or no gap when worn together on the same finger.
Matched bridal sets are appealing in their symmetry and seamlessness and are a classic, timeless choice.
A flat matching wedding ring will sit flush
to an engagement ring designed with
enough space below the head.
A straight wedding ring will not sit flush
to an engagement ring with a large
protruding head.
For a matching wedding ring to sit flush
to a large head, a shadow ring is often
made which conforms to the profile
of the engagement ring.

A Complimentary Wedding Ring
Bridal sets that are complementary rather than perfectly matched are special in the way
the engagement and wedding rings play off of one another for an alluring effect. Bridal sets
that feature coordinating details are ideally balanced for an eye-catching appeal. Even if
some other details vary, it is a good idea to match the precious metal type and finish
(high polish or matte, for example) when selecting a coordinating bridal set so that both the
engagement and wedding rings wear in the same way over time. We also recommend
keeping the overall aesthetic of the two rings matching, so that there is a cohesive look.
If you want your wedding and engagement rings to fit nicely together but do not feel that
they must match perfectly, consider a wedding ring that complements your engagement ring.
In these pairings, the engagement and wedding rings play off of one another beautifully.
PRECIOUS METAL
Choose the same precious metal—platinum, 18K gold, or 14K gold—so that both rings
have the same properties and will “wear” and can be maintained in the same way over time.
STYLE
If you plan to wear your rings on the same finger, it is best to keep the style and aesthetic similar.
For example, if you have a vintage-inspired engagement ring, take a look at vintage style wedding rings.
Keep the same in mind with contemporary styles. Classic solitaire engagement rings have more
versatility and can be paired with different styles for the wedding ring.
