Young brides today are very selective about their wedding and engagement rings. They want their accessories to be perfect and unique. It is a new trend to get complementing rings for both occasions.The best way to match both the rings is to buy sets designed to go together. Jewellers today offer bridal sets where they have matching rings for the bride as well as a complementing band for the groom. You can also design your own sets with a little help. Many online stores gives you an opportunity to design and create your own rings for any occasion. They present you with a range of stones, colours, styles and designs to choose from.

You need to consider a few things to find perfect rings for wedding and engagement.

Shape and Size- The width of both the rings needs to be same. If any of the two is wider, it will overpower the other one. Both of them should be equally proportioned. If you will wear both rings on the same finger, then they should complement each other. One of the rings should not overpower the other in terms of style and design.

Style- If your engagement band is engraved, then it is important that you select the wedding band that complements the engraving. Selecting different engraved styles can make your accessories look mismatched. Also if you have a solitaire or an eternity band as an engagement ring, then your wedding ring style should complement it.

Stones- If you are looking for a coloured diamond or gemstone for wedding ring, make sure that the colour of the stones matches with that of the engagement ring. A pink diamond ring will not look good with a sapphire or an emerald ring. It is easier to match diamond rings than gemstone rings.

Metal- The metal of both the rings needs to be same. A yellow gold engagement ring should be paired with a yellow gold wedding band, platinum with platinum and white gold with white gold. If you have a two-toned engagement ring, then look for a two toned wedding ring as well. This will help keep up a consistency in the colouration of both the rings.

To match the wedding band with the engagement ring is completely an individual's choice. But if you are willing to do so, the above mentioned points will be of great help.
