Your Engagement Ring: Simple Solitaire
A solitaire engagement ring – whether cut princess, round or emerald – is the most versatile style to match. While your bauble will look cute with almost any wedding band, we recommend making a simple solitaire pair with a thin pavé diamond band for an extra dose of sparkle.

Your engagement ring: three-stone
Pair your three stone engagement ring with a band of equally cut gemstones.

Your Engagement Ring: Unusual Shapes
Typically shaped engagement rings have seen an increase in popularity in recent years. Choose a band that complements the curves of your engagement ring so that the pair will wave at your finger.

Your Engagement Ring: Stand-out Design
Some lab created diamond wedding rings pay more attention to wearing alone. If your bauble falls into this category, discard the traditional band altogether (use your engagement ring for the ring exchange portion of the ceremony) or evenly eye-catching bands to wear on your right hand.

Your Engagement Ring: Vintage
Vintage-inspired rings often feature filigree, engraving and other intricate decorations. Give your ring an attractive feel, choosing a band that embodies a favorite design element from your engagement ring, such as an engraved flower.

Your Engagement Ring: Pave Band
If your engagement ring has an eternity or half-infinity diamond band, select a simple gemstone-free wedding band to take your sparkler to center stage.

Your Engagement Ring: Colorful Stone
If your engagement ring has a colorful center stone, consider a wedding band that also incorporates that gemstone. A band that alternates between colored and white gems is a smart choice – it coordinates, but does not compete with, your engagement ring.

Your Engagement Ring: Pave Band
One trend we’ve been seeing lately: engagement bands. For your wedding band, choose a thin band in the same metal, but choose a style that includes colored stones.
