To match or not to match, that is the question. While an engagement ring is traditionally only presented to the bride-to-be (although not universally), men’s and women’s wedding rings offer spouses a unique opportunity to coordinate their style. For some, this means picking out the exact same wedding band, finding rings with similar design elements, or going for two completely different with their own personal significance. Let’s delve into some wedding ring pairings.
The Rise of Complementary Wedding Bands
A case of “same-same but different”, complementary wedding bands speak to a couple’s compatibility while respecting their differences. Case in point, Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding ring is a stunning emerald cut diamond eternity band that echoes his wife’s emerald cut solitaire - a touching way to showcase their connection while maintaining their individual style. Our Oliver men’s wedding ring and Christina wedding ring for women offer enduring compatibility with the balance of small differences. Oliver’s striking two tone appearance is well matched by Christina delicate lab grown diamonds in a channel setting.
The Case for Traditional Matching Wedding Bands
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis eschewed bling in favour of understatement in their choice of wedding rings - two matching and unadorned platinum bands. Around the globe, couples cherish the tradition of exchanging matching wedding bands as a symbol of love and commitment. This time-honoured practice, with deep historical roots, remains a meaningful gesture today. Add a touch of tradition to your “I do” with our pared-back men’s Classic Dome wedding band and our sweet and simple Ashton women’s wedding ring.
The Power of Individual Wedding Bands
Despite what the traditionalists may say, it’s possible to pull off wildly different wedding rings, as demonstrated by superstar couple Russell Wilson and Ciara. As an American football quarterback, Russel wisely opted for a durable two tone wedding band. Meanwhile, American pop singer, Ciara, selected a dazzling diamond wedding ring, in harmony with her star quality. Opposites attract with our rugged carbon fibre and gold rim Benjamin men’s wedding band and our delicately curved Celeste wedding ring.
