As your wedding band is a symbol of your love and commitment for one another, it’s important to choose a band that not only reflects your style, but one that complements your existing engagement ring in every way.
But, how do you know if the wedding band you’ve selected is the right band to enhance your engagement ring? To help you choose, we’ve put together a safe guide to follow when selecting the perfect wedding band for your engagement ring.
Which Wedding Band Matches My Engagement Ring?
From elegant, detailed diamond bands to more simple and traditional designs, SH Jewellery has a wide range of wedding bands to suit your personal style, budget and existing engagement ring design.
Whether your elegant engagement ring is round, princess cut or a fancy shape, a solitaire engagement ring is best complemented with a thin and equally elegant pavè straight diamond band. A simple pavè band adds extra sparkle and complements your stunning engagement ring design without taking away from the centre piece.
If your engagement ring features a number of existing diamonds, such as a straight row of diamonds, we recommend selecting a wedding ring with a similar setting style that matches your engagement ring i.e. if your engagement ring has channel set diamonds in the band, then select a wedding band which also has this style. The wedding ring is usually selected to be a matching width for consistency with the original engagement ring although some brides-to-be opt for a different width band to ensure both pieces stand apart from each other.

If your ring is a halo engagement ring we recommend pairing it with a diamond band, either straight or curved in shape. This is because halo designs are made to give a bright diamond look and using diamonds in a matching wedding band will allow this consistency to flow.
Choosing a plain band without any diamonds tends to detract from the beautiful bright look created by the halo, so choose a wedding ring with a row of diamonds and you can be sure to end up with a stunning finished set.
We recommend pairing your three-stone engagement ring with a wedding band that features similarly cut gemstones, such as the baguette wedding band pictured below. If your trilogy engagement ring is crafted with Emerald Cut diamonds or Princess Cut diamonds, we suggest selecting a wedding band with similar shaped stones, or something similar that resembles this style.

If your engagement ring turns heads, ideally there are two styles of wedding bands to choose from that complement your show stopper beautifully. You can either opt for a simple diamond band, one that still lets your sparkler do all the talking, such as the pavé set diamond eternity band pictured below. Or, choose to wear a wedding band of your choice on your opposite finger for balance - you decide!
If your engagement ring is vintage inspired or a family heirloom that’s been handed down for decades, the chances of finding a suitable wedding band to match your engagement ring may seem rather low. Which is why our team suggest choosing a wedding band that has one main element in common with your vintage design.
For example, if your vintage design features rose gold elements, then we suggest selecting a rose gold wedding band. If your vintage design features symbols or hand-crafted elements, then we suggest choosing a wedding band that reflects these elements. A design such as the Vintage Baguette and Round Channel Set Diamond Band or straight band with milgrain detail pictured below, are popular with brides who have a vintage inspired engagement ring.

If your engagement ring is rose gold or mixed with both white and yellow gold accents, don’t be afraid to incorporate another these tones into your wedding ring. This option is becoming increasingly popular with more ‘modern’ brides, who love wearing their sets with consistent beauty.

There’s a number of things you should consider when choosing a wedding band usch as your engagement ring style, the cut and how much you’re willing to spend. To make it easier for you, we’ve put together this comrehensive guide on everything you need to know when matching your wedding band to your engagement ring, sprinkled with some gorgeous examples for inspiration!
While some jewellers offer matching wedding bands for their engagement rings, many brides begin their search for the perfect wedding band long after they’re engaged.

What Kind Of Wedding Bands Go With Halo Engagement Rings?
While some statement brides may choose to mix and match their metals, it’s more common to choose a wedding band made of the same metal as your engagement ring to ensure they sit well together. Two of the most common options for different skin tones are 18ct gold or white gold and platinum for their durability, maintainability and beauty. Choosing the same metal type also has benefits outside the aesthetic - it can help preserve the longevity of your pieces. This is because different metal types have vastly different properties requiring different levels of care and maintenance.
Though there is no hard and fast rule on this, if you have ever seen a wedding band and engagement ring set flow effortlessly, it is likely because the rings match each other’s thickness (thin with thin, chunky with chunky etc.). This promotes a cohesive and classic look. You may also like to consider the width of your partners band. Matching width can still make them look more like a set, despite being different styles or materials.
Women's wedding rings vary from simple metal bands to stunning gem-encrusted statements. Some even choose 2 or 3 wedding bands and stack them on the finger for a glamorous and unique choice. The important thing when choosing a wedding band is to consider your ‘forever style’. Of course, you can hypothetically change your rings up with your style evolution but there is something beautifully sentimental about wearing one wedding band for the rest of your life, a symbol of your enduring love. When looking for the right wedding band, consider what kind of ring you would feel comfortable wearing forever - you’ll never regret choosing timeless over trends.
How To Pick The Right Wedding Band To Compliment Your Engagement Ring
This question gets asked a lot and the answer is: there is no rule. In Australia, carat can refer to both diamond weight and gold purity, so it is very much dependent on the design and features you’re looking for in your ring. Wedding band preferences vary depending on the person or current trends, so developing your personal budget as a couple is always a good place to start.
Once you have a good idea of what you are willing to spend, a jeweller or sales consultant will be able to direct you to some amazing pieces at varying carat price points.

A straight wedding band normally sits behind the raised stones of your engagement ring or neatly next to it, but not flush to the ring (jewellers term for right up next to each other). These range from more simple plain metal designs to gorgeous diamond and other gemstone rings.
A contoured wedding band like the Wave Soft Curve Diamond Micropave Rose Gold Band adds the perfect touch of sparkle to this bridal set.
A contoured wedding also know as a ‘fitted wedding band’ fits precisely and snugly around the shape of your engagement ring. It may be a simple band or include a pavé diamond ring around the outside. It’s popular to get this style created custom for your ring setting.
