Diamonds & Engagement
Wedding Rings
These symbols of lifelong commitment not only reflect the two of you as a couple, but each of you individually as well. While a wedding ring should, in some way, be similar to the engagement ring it sits next to, it need not also be similar to the man's wedding band. Once you have chosen an engagement ring, finding the right wedding ring is easy.Men's
There are more choices for men's wedding rings than ever before. Many men choose a simple gold band because they are not aware of the options that are available to them now. Choosing the right style is as important as it is for a women's wedding ring.

Style
A woman's wedding band should roughly reflect the style of her engagement ring, but it doesn't need to be an exact match. A simple, classic band will go with any style, while a carved ring will be best suited to sit next to a more basic engagement ring.

Wedding Sets
It is much easier to purchase a wedding set, which includes both the engagement ring and the wedding band. The downside, however, is that you have fewer choices. Wedding sets are designed so the diamond engagement ring and wedding band are the same style and sit flush with one another on a woman's finger.

Width
The width of a woman's wedding ring depends entirely on the width of the band on her engagement ring. If a woman with small hands already has a large, wide engagement ring, choosing a narrower band for her wedding ring is a better choice for her comfort.
