Together or separately?
More and more married women are choosing to wear their wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger. A 'wedding set', as it were. Because you like this kind of combination, or because you like wearing other rings or bracelets. Or for a practical reason: because you're right-handed, for example, and the diamond in your solitaire is likely to be damaged if it's worn daily on your right hand. For example, some special wedding rings have a 'bend' that allows the solitaire engagement ring to fit perfectly.
The proactive approach
There are two ways to match your engagement ring and wedding band. In the first case, when you buy your engagement ring from your jeweller, your partner already offers you the 'matching' option. Perhaps you'll give him or her a subtle hint in advance that you like this type ofbridal set.... ? Together with the jeweller, your future husband then examines the possible combinations. It's exciting, because he's going to choose an engagement ring and, at the same time, your wedding ring!
The reactive approach
Didn't you decide until after he'd proposed that you'd like to wear your wedding ring and engagement ring together later? If so, you can opt for personalisation under this second option. Your jeweller will use your engagement ring as a basis for creating a wedding ring that is tailored to your size and wishes. Your jeweller will examine the setting, colour and materials and work with you to find a design that perfectly matches your engagement ring. For example, the wedding ring - a design set with stones all the way round - is a popular choice.
The combination can teach you
How you wear your bridal jewellery is entirely up to you. Chronologically, you first wear your engagement ring and, at the wedding ceremony, you slide your wedding ring around the same finger. However, the other option of wearing thewedding ring highest on the finger often comes up.
One plus one makes three
Your ring set now matches! But what about your fiancé's wedding ring? You can order it in a similar shape and style, so that your three rings form a pretty whole. Or your fiancé can choose a different model, more in keeping with his or her personality, and have it completed with matching details such as the material, colour, finish or text engraved on the ring.
Your ideal partner is now a reality!
