Your engagement ring may have stolen the spotlight, but your wedding band is where the real storytelling begins. It’s the piece you’ll wear every day - a symbol of your forever that should feel just as personal as the promise it represents.

Here are five ways to make your wedding band truly your own:

 

1. Match the Metal, But Not the Mood

A perfect match isn’t always identical. Pair your engagement ring with the same metal tone (say, yellow or white gold) to keep cohesion, but shift the vibe. If your engagement ring is delicate and minimal, try a bold textured band to add contrast - or go the other way for softness. The interplay creates something entirely you.

 

2. Echo the Cut

Love the shape of your centre stone? Let it inspire your band.

From tiny marquise details to baguette-set accents, echoing the shape - even subtly - creates a rhythm between both rings. It feels intentional without being matchy-matchy.

 

3. Add a Secret Detail

Your wedding band is the perfect place for something hidden and meaningful.

We’ve engraved dates, nicknames, and even fingerprints on the inside of bands. Others have added a tiny hidden diamond or birthstone. It’s your secret - and no less beautiful for it.

 

4. Mix Width & Shape

Who says your band has to follow the lines of your engagement ring?

Wider or curved bands can nestle alongside solitaire rings in unexpected ways. A sculptural shape or knife-edge finish can add architecture and presence - especially if you want your band to be a standalone piece too.

 

5. Let the Story Guide You

Some couples come to us with a whole vision: a band made using heirloom gold from a loved one, or a design that mirrors the skyline where they got engaged.

It doesn’t have to be big - just intentional. The most timeless bands are the ones that carry a story only you know.
