11 Wedding Bands with Engagement Ring Energy

If the look you’d like to evoke is traditional then you can’t go wrong with this timeless style that Landau describes as “accentuating the shape of each diamond.” If you’re budget conscious, be aware that the half band style has — unsurprisingly — diamonds around only half of the ring while the full band style has stones that wrap around the entire way. Both provide a show-stopping visual effect.

Diamonds aren’t for everyone. For those who prefer something that feels a bit more everyday, this delicate band is a “versatile option that effortlessly pairs with any engagement ring,” says Landau. The ultra-skinny 1.5mm width also makes it a great choice for stacking.

If you have a yellow diamond engagement ring or are deep into a yellow gold lifestyle, your band should match. This beloved puffy silhouette is modern and playful at the same time, pairing gorgeously with daintier rings. It’s also a great choice for those torn between a pear and emerald cut diamond — you get both in this funky design.

Gendered ideas about what is so-called appropriate are breaking down and you should feel empowered to choose a ring that you love. Landau notes that “the trend of thicker bands is gaining popularity”. Both spouses may opt for this tasteful style, which is available in three thicknesses: 4, 5, and 6 mm.

This sleek band is another great choice if stones don’t jibe with your aesthetic. This sparkle-free beauty is comfortable and low-key — everything you want in a ring and in a life partner.

I’ve coveted this remarkable piece of jewelry ever since I saw it at the Old South Wharf boutique. With six sapphires cast directly into solid 14k gold, it’s even more gorgeous in person.

If a straightforward diamond band feels a bit too ordinary for your tastes, try this eye-catching and feminine design. With a mix of round and marquise diamonds, it’ll complement all engagement ring shapes.

Maybe you’re a sailor or grew up by the ocean or simply love the beach — but the sea absolutely must be incorporated into your ring. I have just the design for you: this band features asymmetrical sapphires placed like barnacles in the most delightful nod to all things saltwater.

Sometimes you fall in love with a diamond shape and nothing but it will do. Many emerald cut fans fall into this category and it makes sense — the long parallel step cuts are stunning. If it's an emerald cut or bust, you’ll love this band’s ​​sleek and modern setting that allows the diamonds to really shine. We also love this East West band that features landscape instead of portrait diamonds. 

As men opt more readily for bands that feature diamonds, this pave edge design is the ideal way to ease yourself into gemstones. With just a hint of bling, it looks incredible with all metals.

Not every occasion calls for finery, and jetsetting is one time that you’ll be better off with an easily replaceable (but still beautiful) ring. This non-tarnish and water resistant style is just the thing for a tropical getaway. You won’t have to worry about losing or removing it before a dip in saltwater or chlorine.
