A wedding ring is a ring worn to symbolize marriage. The term often means a wedding band, although it can also describe decorative rings with gemstones. Traditions and wearing preferences differ between couples and cultures.
What Is a Wedding Ring?
Wedding rings are commonly exchanged during a marriage ceremony and worn afterward. They may be worn alone, paired with an engagement ring, or incorporated into a coordinated bridal set.
Common Designs and Construction of Wedding Rings
Options include plain metal bands, engraved rings, pavé styles, and stone-set eternity designs. Band profile, setting height, and gemstone coverage affect comfort and maintenance.
Fit, Comfort and Metal Considerations
Choose an accurate size and consider band width, metal, and how the ring feels during daily activities. Gold and platinum are popular, but suitability depends on alloy, lifestyle, and care.
How to Choose a Wedding Ring
Compare comfort, durability, budget, resizing options, and how the ring sits beside any engagement ring. Fully stone-set designs can be difficult to resize.
