THE BRIDE'S WEDDING RING

• The high domed, or C shape, ring has an exaggerated round shape to it and is most commonly found in narrow bands.

• The flat, or [ shape, ring is, as you would expect, a ring with flat edges and a flat outside surface.

• The softly rounded, or ( ring, is the most popular style and has a gentle curve about midway between the flat and high domed rings styles.

Having identified your Engagement Ring’s style, the idea is to choose a Wedding Ring with the same style – whilst not essential it will enhance the ‘togetherness’ of the pair.

The Width
The next element to consider is the band’s width, and again your choices will be limited here by the existing Engagement Ring.

The first factor to consider is just how much space is available to work with? You will need to determine how much room is between the base of the finger and the knuckle, how much of it is taken up by the Engagement Ring and how much that leaves available to comfortably fit the Wedding Ring in.

Secondly, it is advisable that you choose a Wedding band width either the same, or slightly wider than the Engagement band – this will compliment each one better and maintain the ‘togetherness’ image.

If you are in any doubt, the best bet is trial and error. Head down to your local jewellers, ask their advice and try a few on – you will quickly see what works and what doesn’t.
