WHAT IS A WEDDING BAND?
A wedding band is a symbol of eternal love and unwavering commitment to your partner and has a fascinating history rich in tradition. Historically, they were simple gold bands placed under the wedding ring to be closer to your heart. However, modern trends have evolved offering tons of options. Today, people embrace versatility and personal style by interchanging, blending, mixing and matching wedding bands to play around with different looks.
THE TYPES OF BANDS:
PLAIN METAL BANDS
Plain metal bands offer timeless elegance with comfortable wear, with diverse options in metal types, textures, and widths. Choose from white gold, rose gold, yellow gold or platinum to match your style. Textures like matte, brushed, or satin finishes, along with hammered or knurled options, add a unique flair. Women’s bands range from slim 1.5mm to bold 4mm widths.
STACKABLE WEDDING BANDS
Stackable Wedding Bands are designed to be worn together with other rings, allowing for mix-and-match styles and customizable looks.
PAVÉ WEDDING BANDS
Imagine rows of diamonds woven together like cobblestones on a pathway. These diamonds are set closely, so the metal almost disappears, leaving a stunning, glittering effect.
ETERNITY WEDDING BANDS
Eternity Wedding Bands are rings with diamonds or gemstones encircling the entire band, symbolizing everlasting love. They sparkle and shine from every angle.
CURVED WEDDING BANDS
Curved Wedding Bands feature an extended arc designed to elegantly wrap around the center stone of an engagement ring. These bands sit perfectly flush against other styles, creating a seamless and luxurious look.
GEMSTONE WEDDING BANDS
Gemstone Wedding Bands offer a variety of options for women's styles, showcasing stones like sapphire, blue topaz, emerald, or ruby, either alongside or in place of diamonds. These gemstones can be used as accents or showcased in designs like eternity or baguette settings.
DIAMOND WEDDING BANDS
These bands feature rows of diamonds, adding sparkle to the ring. They come in different styles and settings, like single or multiple rows of diamonds set in various ways. They’re also available in different metals.
5 STONE WEDDING BANDS
5-Stone Wedding Bands typically showcase diamonds of equal size, symbolizing the five key traits of a strong relationship: love, trust, commitment, communication, and empathy. This style makes a bold and symmetrical statement, representing these qualities in a meaningful way. Additionally, 5-stone bands can serve as a special way to commemorate anniversaries.
