Most Popular Wedding Ring Styles: Your Essential Guide

Wedding bands hold profound symbolism, embodying a continuous circle that signifies your enduring commitment. They are traditionally worn alongside engagement rings, creating a meaningful jewelry stack that symbolizes your unwavering dedication to your spouse.

Just like engagement rings, fine jewelry rings come in a variety of styles that can reflect your marriage and your personality. Options include gold and platinum bands, diamond-encrusted designs, gemstone embellishments, and durable tungsten rings.  

While our wedding ring style quiz can assist you in finding the ideal ring for your tastes and budget, you might still have questions about wedding ring styles. Our guide is crafted to help you select your perfect ring based on its key features.

Choosing between various wedding ring styles doesn't need to be a guessing game. Follow three simple steps to find the perfect ring for your style. When browsing our collection of wedding rings, consider the metal, shape, gems, and ring pairing to make the ideal choice.

Follow these steps to select the ideal style for your wedding ring:

• Consider whether you prefer to match your current engagement ring.
• Select a metal type and hue
• Choose the shape you prefer, like a curved band.

Follow these three simple steps to choose the perfect wedding ring style for your stack. With a variety of metal types, band shapes, diamond styles, and gemstone options available, you can easily find the ideal ring to complement your unique style.

Metal Types for Wedding Rings

The choice of metal is crucial for determining the style of your wedding ring. If you want your wedding ring to match your existing classic engagement ring, consider choosing a metal that complements it. However, if you are only wearing a wedding band, you have the freedom to choose any metal without worrying about coordination.

The most sought-after metals for wedding rings are white gold, rose gold, yellow gold, platinum, tungsten, and titanium. While most designs typically feature a single metal type, some styles elegantly combine two metals to create a stunning two-tone effect.

When selecting the metal for your wedding ring, it's important to consider the maintenance level you're comfortable with. Metals like platinum require minimal upkeep, while others like white gold may need to be redipped over time. Additionally, if you choose a metal that cannot be resized, such as tungsten, ensure you know your exact ring size.   

Shapes of wedding rings

After selecting the metal for your ring, the next step is choosing its shape. Consider the other pieces in your wedding ring stack and opt for styles that complement them, such as curved rings that accommodate different shapes.  

When uncertain, opt for a thinner style from our collection of stackable rings. These rings are designed to effortlessly complement and fit alongside numerous other designs, ensuring versatility and ease of wear.

Styles of wedding rings with gemstones

Now that you've chosen your preferred metal type and ring profile, the next decision is whether to add gemstones or diamonds to your ring. Matching the gems in your engagement ring or anniversary band, if you're wearing any, can create a harmonious ring stack.

For instance, if your diamond engagement ring features a solitaire lab-grown diamond, a wedding band with lab-grown diamonds can be the ideal complement. Conversely, if you're pairing it with a colorful gemstone engagement ring, you might opt for a plain metal band to allow the existing gems to shine.

Bonus Tip: Choose Engagement Rings That Complement Your Style

Explore our collection of engagement ring settings that perfectly pair with their matching bands, simplifying the process of creating a coordinated set. Choose a wedding ring with matching metals and gemstones to ensure your stack is not only coordinated but also easy to maintain.
