Engagement and wedding rings are one of the most enduring pieces of jewellery for every woman. They are an everlasting symbol of love and commitment. Most modern women prefer to wear their engagement and wedding rings together. This makes it essential for both bands to complement each other. You can buy both the rings together to be assured that they will look perfect when your wear them together. You can design your own rings if you are not willing to buy ready-made rings available with the jewellers,

The most important points to be considered before you buy complementing engagement and wedding bands include:

Style- Select ring styles that perfectly complement each other. If one of your rings is very elaborate and intricately designed, you can select a plain metal band as the other. This way both the rings will draw equal admiration. If one ring has a particular embellishment, you should select the other one with similar embellishment to keep up uniformity in design and style. More elaborate rings may look good while buying, but the truth is they date quickly. If you are buying an ornate engagement ring, then go for an eternity or semi-eternity band as the wedding ring for easy wear.

Size- You will be wearing both the rings together, so it is very important that they look balanced. The size of one ring should not overpower the other. This will depend a lot on what type of style you are selecting for both the rings. You should try different rings in order to be sure of the size.

Metal- Engagement and wedding rings should be of the same metal. This is because if the metal of one of the rings is harder than the other, it will damage the setting. Carefully choose the metal for both bands as it will make a huge difference to the overall appearance of your rings.

Fit- Make sure that both the rings are comfortable for you to wear together. You can easily get the rings resized by a jeweller in case of any problem.

Another convenient way to buy complementing engagement and wedding rings is to buy wedding sets. They are very popular and there is a wide range available in almost all jewellery stores. It is the best way to make sure that the rings for both the occasions are properly matched. It is also helpful in saving both time and money.
