Shopping for wedding bands? Congratulations! Wedding rings have been a symbol of love for centuries, but now, they are also a great way to show off your personal style. Thanks to custom designs, the options for wedding rings are endless, but here are 10 most popular wedding ring styles we see trending in a major way.
Shadow Bands
Shadow bands are a popular choice. These uniquely shaped bands follow the engagement ring center diamond or center stone exactly. Shadow bands are extremely popular because they eliminate any gap between the two rings.
At Scott’s, we can use our CAD (computer aided design) technology to fit your engagement ring style perfectly!
Couples Rings
Many couples are opting for wedding rings that match to show their fit together as a pair. This could be two identical 14k gold rings, or like the picture above, a coordinating design that links the couple together, but includes elements of their personal style.
Eternity Bands
Eternity bands are beautiful in style and sentiment. Representing eternal love, the band features stones all the way around a band as opposed to just the top or half portion of the ring visible from the top of the finger.
These bands are great for maximizing sparkle, and look great from every angle! Eternity bands are also great for people with a larger knuckle, but a smaller finger size – no matter how the ring spins, the stones will always show.
Two-Tone Bands
Love to mix and match jewelry? Can’t decide what tone of gold you like best? Like the vintage look? Look no further than two-tone rings! This style features a ring with two (or more) shades of gold. Perfect for anyone looking for the best of both worlds.
Bands with Color
Add a pop of color to your stack by including colored single diamonds or gemstones. Include your favorite color, you and your partner’s birth stones, or a center stone with sentimental reason that feels unique to your love story!
Personalized Rings
Add a personal touch to your bands with engravings that hold extra meaning for you and your partner. Include an important date, a special phrase, or a nickname that will bring back memories of your years spent together.
This is a super fun and simple way to personalize your bands, and with our custom design process, the options are endless!
Double Bands
Two bands can be better than one! Wearing double bands, stacked together or one on each side of the engagement ring, creates a symmetrical look, and adds a ton of sparkle! These bands can also hold a lot of meaning, representing a milestone in your relationship like an anniversary, or the birth of a child.
Asymmetrical Bands
Symmetry not your style? Try something with a unique edge. Asymmetrical bands are fun and funky, and can be a great way to incorporate heirloom stones, since the goal is an organic and one-of-a-kind layout, like this band above! Asymmetrical bands a beautiful by themselves or stacked perfectly against an engagement ring.
Vine Style Rings
The organic look of vine style, and floral rings has exploded in popularity. These bands embrace the natural, delicate look of plant motifs, and can easily be adapted to your style with the addition of stones, or the choice of a specific leaf. Vine style bands have been one of our most popular and classic styles this year!
Textured Bands
Create a simple, but unique look with textured bands. Rope or beaded bands add interest and texture to your wedding set, while keeping things simple. These bands also make great stacking bands in between rings to create a new and trending look.
