Regardless of the design choice be it a solitaire engagement ring with a diamond, a three stone, or a custom designed diamond engagement ring it is essential that the combination with the wedding band is well-balanced in terms of materials, shapes, and proportions. But how should they be worn together correctly after the fateful “yes”?

How to Wear the Wedding Band and Solitaire Engagement Ring in the Right Order

The main rule for wearing the wedding band and solitaire engagement ring together is simple: the wedding band always takes precedence because it is the most important ring and represents the marital bond.
The solitaire engagement ring, often more conspicuous due to the presence of natural or lab grown diamonds with significant carat weight and luminous details, is worn above it.
The result? An elegant effect rich in symbolic meaning.

The Value of Tradition

According to tradition, both rings are worn on the left ring finger, as an ancient belief suggests that a vein from this finger is directly connected to the heart the so-called “vena amoris.” Before marriage, the engagement ring occupies this honored place. However, on the wedding day, it is temporarily moved to the right hand to make room for the wedding band. After the ceremony, the bride can decide: she may wear both on the left ring finger or move the solitaire engagement ring to the other hand. In any case, the wedding band remains the centerpiece.

How to Style the Wedding Band and Solitaire Engagement Ring

Choosing Color and Metal

It is not necessary for the wedding band and engagement ring to be made of the same type of metal.
A highly appreciated trend is to pair different materials: for example, a solitaire engagement ring in 18k white gold with a natural or lab grown diamond
pairs perfectly with a wedding band in rose or yellow gold.

During the customization process of the engagement ring on Bon Gioielli, you can select the type of diamond (natural or lab grown), the cut from 10 different options (Round, Oval, Cushion, Emerald, Pear, Radiant, Princess, Marquise, Asscher, and Heart), the carat weight, and clarity. This allows you to create a unique piece of jewelry, perfectly matching the chosen wedding band.

Proportions and Visual Harmony

For an elegant and balanced look, it is important to consider the proportion and style of the two rings. If the engagement ring features a large center stone, a thinner and more understated wedding band is recommended. On the other hand, a simple solitaire ring can be enhanced with a more elaborate wedding band or one with decorative details.

You can also choose a perfectly aligned set by having the two rings fused together or leave a slight gap between the bands while maintaining a consistent finish for visual coherence.
