How to pair a wedding band with your engagement ring
4 min read · True Vow Rings
The engagement ring and the wedding band are worn together for years, so they should look like they belong together. Check these four things.
Match the metal colour
The safest match is the same colour as the engagement ring. A silver tone solitaire like our Six Prong Solitaire pairs naturally with a silver tone band.
Match the width
Pick a band about as wide as the engagement ring band, or a little wider. A very wide band can make a fine solitaire look small. A 3 mm band suits most slim engagement rings.
Check the fit side by side
A straight band sits flush with most solitaires that sit high on their prongs. Hold the two rings together and look from the side: a small gap is normal and comfortable.
Simple pairings
Classic: a round solitaire with one silver tone 3 mm stacking band.
Warm: the same solitaire with a rose gold tone band for a soft two-tone look.

No. Many people mix colours on purpose. Matching is simply the easiest way to look like a set.
Should the band be the same size as the engagement ring?
Yes, they are usually the same size so they sit together on the same finger.
