Choosing your wedding band

My engagement ring and wedding band are from different retailers! I wanted a lab made diamond and the place I got my engagement ring didn’t do wedding bands with lab made. I just tried the rings on together and it worked out fine.

My band came from etsy. They dont sit perfectly flush but since we are considering an upgrade along the lines of a few years I'm not concerned. My ER sits completely flat against my finger so its impossible to find something that perfectly fits! That said I fell in love with the wedding band and id wear it alone (though I prefer the look of 2, once I have a ring set higher)

Honestly I don't think you need to match your current band of your engagement ring, nor do you need to not match it... haha if that makes sense.

Essentially you just need to find a duo that works well together but also alone (I personally just wear my wedding ring 90% of the time so it was important for me that the wedding ring looked good on its own).

What I suggest is that you go try on bands with your engagement ring and find a pairing that speaks to you. I personally had to shop for my wedding ring online because of COVID so what I did is asked the jeweler to send me pictures of the wedding ring and pair it with an engagement ring that was similar to mine so I could see what it looks like (see pics of what I ended up choosing).

Since Verragio is already a very intricate design, I would definitely recommend a simpler band that compliments it without overshadowing your engagement ring. But that's MY opinion, based on my taste, so honestly you do you girl!! The sky is the limit, go with a design that you will love for the years to come. There is no right answer, only your preference

Good luck!

ps. it took me 2 months to find my wedding ring because I was so indecisive hahaha

View quoted message That’s exactly what I was thinking! The detail is unmatched. When I was looking for my engagement ring I loved verragio but I looked around to see if I could find anything similar and I just couldn’t find it. My fiancé told me to just go with the verragio band as it will match perfectly and he thinks I might regret getting something different 🙈

Normally you can mix and match, but verragio has amazing detail to the rings and could make bands from other places look very cheap just because it’s so well designed. You might be able to find something that ties together well but I really recommend trying it on in person just to be sure it works together. I don’t think you need to eliminate other designers just make sure the details work together.

My engagement right is from Ben Moss & the band is from Pandora

My wedding band is the matching piece to my engagement wing. We had to order it in since they didn't have it in store and when it finally came in, my fiance and I both agreed that we made the right choice. It goes perfectly together!

It's totally up to you on what you decide for your wedding band, Switch it up with a different style or go with the matching band! Whatever you decide, it'll be meaningful

View quoted message The band is from Michael Hill. I did a mix and match, tried to get them similar, but not the exact same

View quoted message Where did you end up getting your wedding band from? Do they match or did you mix and match the engagement ring and wedding band

View quoted message Oooh that’s a great idea! I also love that it’s shopping small.

I have just bought my wedding band, and it's from a different place completely. My engagement ring is from Brilliant Earth, and I didn't want to pay $1500 for a wedding band.

Couldn't be happier with how they will look together!

I bought my band on Etsy because stores were closed. They are the same metal and a similar width so they look cohesive.

If you want a really cohesive look it makes sense to go with the same designer, especially because they probably have something matching. But if you’re not really a fan of the wedding bands you could look into getting something custom made from a jeweller.
I went with the same jeweller for both my rings but I didn’t love their standard wedding band designs with my engagement ring. I got them to customize a band to fit better with my engagement ring and I love it!
