Ladies Wedding Rings

It is not essential that the wedding ring profile be the same as the engagement ring, however, the rings will sit better together and look better if they have the same shape. For example, a high domed band (such as a D-shaped profile) may look a little odd next to a flat style engagement ring.

You need to consider the length of your fingers and how much room is available between the base of your finger and your knuckle to comfortably wear a ring. In keeping with the premise of having two rings that look like they were made to be together, you need to consider the proportions of both rings. If the widths of both rings are proportional to one another, the rings appear to compliment each other better.

1. There can be some exceptions, but generally, it’s best to use the same type of metal or the same gold carat for both rings. That way the rings will both have the same metal hardness rating, which means they won’t cause as much wear on each other when rubbing together.
2. One exception might be the budget. For example, if you have a platinum engagement ring and your budget doesn’t allow for a platinum wedding ring, you could choose an 18ct white gold wedding ring instead, as the colour will be very similar.
3. We generally suggest that 18ct engagement rings (in any gold colour) be matched with 18ct wedding rings. That way, the gold colours will match and 18ct tends to look better with age. Different carats can make the difference in the metals appear more noticeable with age.

1. It is entirely a matter of personal preference as to whether you include diamonds or gemstones in your wedding ring however there are some advantages.
2. Adding diamonds to the wedding ring adds an extra bright sparkle to the pair of rings. It can make the rings appear more bright, clean and alive. Crucially the diamond setting and shape of diamonds used in the wedding ring should compilment the engagement, not detract from it.
3. Plain gold bands have a tendency to scratch and look dull over time. (although they can be re-polished and cleaned periodically). Whereas a diamond ring, especially a channel set diamond ring always has a bright and sparkly appearance even in between cleanings.
4. By having diamonds on the top of the band, the general signs of wear such as scuff marks and small scratches are much less noticeable.
