Why Choose a Diamond Wedding Ring?

The extra bling of a diamond wedding ring is a traditional symbol of love and commitment. Furthermore, diamond wedding rings can easily coordinate with diamond engagement rings, creating a seamless and sophisticated look. Depending on the style, a diamond wedding ring may also be worn separately from an engagement ring for a lower profile and more understated look that is still easily and instantly recognizable as a marital symbol. Overall, a diamond wedding band has a classic, elegant look that can be worn no matter what one’s changing jewelry tastes may be in the years to come.

10 Best Diamond Wedding Ring Styles:

• Enhancer Wedding Ring

A simple ring meant to be worn alongside an engagement ring, enhancer diamond wedding bands often have curves, contours, notches, or points to accommodate the engagement ring’s center stone but still fit flush up against the band. The extra stones on the enhancer coordinate with the engagement ring, creating a matching set. Because of the wedding ring’s shape, however, these bands cannot usually be worn separately from the engagement ring, unless the shape is very subtle.

• Bridal Set

A classic bridal set includes both the engagement ring and the coordinating diamond wedding ring designed and sized together so they create a smooth, seamless set. This has been a popular style for generations, and a bridal set might be a modern pair of rings, a vintage style, or an antique set. Some bridal sets actually include three rings, featuring not only the bride’s engagement and wedding rings, but also a diamond wedding ring for the groom.

• Eternity Wedding Ring

These very elegant diamond wedding rings are a full circumference of stones, with the unending circle representing the unending commitment a couple makes as they marry. The diamonds may all be the same shape, with round, princess, and emerald-cut stones the most popular options, or may be alternating shapes for a more unique style. The diamonds are generally close-set or continual with very little or no space between them.

• Vintage Diamond Wedding Ring

Vintage rings have unique charisma with their storied histories and long-lasting connections to generations of romance. Many vintage diamond wedding rings have just a few stones at the top of the ring, but show the delicate patina and richness of their age, giving the design a special flair. Especially if the vintage ring is a family heirloom piece, it can be an even more special ring to wear.

• Slant Settings 

To give a diamond wedding ring even more distinction, consider using an elongated diamond shape such as a marquise, emerald cut, or baguette and have the stones set at an angle to the band rather than straight across. This “slanted” look draws the eye and can be a gorgeous option while using fewer stones, making this type of setting a more budget- friendly option without removing diamonds altogether.

• Stacking Ring

A stacking diamond wedding ring is a more delicate, thinner design than most wedding rings, with much smaller diamonds or diamond chips adding the sparkle. This can be a great option for very small hands so the ring does not appear disproportionate or overwhelming, and the ring can be stacked with different anniversary bands or other styles over the years as tastes change.

I've purchased two vintage rings from Suzanne over the past decade and my wife has loved both. Great service, communication and speedy delivery.”

• East-West Wedding Ring

An east-west wedding ring features a diamond set horizontally rather than the traditional vertical orientation. This unique design offers a modern and contemporary look, allowing the diamond to cover more finger space and create a distinctive visual appeal. The east-west setting can enhance the diamond's appearance, making it seem larger and more prominent. It also provides a fresh take on classic cuts, such as emerald, oval, or marquise, by showcasing their shapes in an unconventional way.

• Wide Wedding Ring

Choosing a wide wedding band as a diamond wedding ring offers a bold and elegant statement, making it stand out prominently on the finger. The additional surface area allows for more intricate and detailed designs, such as pave settings or channel settings, enhancing its luxurious appearance.

• Bezel Stone Ring

bezel stone ring features a gemstone encased in a metal rim, which wraps around the edges of the stone, holding it securely in place. This setting offers a sleek and modern look while providing excellent protection for the gemstone, making it an ideal choice for those with an active lifestyle.

My experience with Vintage Diamond Ring was so excellent I really had to think about it for a while. First their selection of jewelry is profound. The quality is superior.”

• Inspired Wedding Rings

Stunning diamond wedding rings inspired by the hottest Hollywood and celebrity trends can be gorgeous, and today’s styles show dramatic influences from Disney, Game of Thrones, the British Royal Family, Bridgerton, and more. Take care when choosing an inspired style, however, to ensure it’s not a passing fancy or a one-and-done trend that may no longer be as stylish to wear when trends change.

Choosing Your Best Wedding Ring

Regardless of which single style seems to fit best, try on several different diamond wedding rings to see just how they look on the hand, finger, and with the engagement ring, if applicable. This will permit you to make the very best choice to suit your fashion preferences, recognizing that small differences in stone size or quality, metal choice, diamond shape, and overall quality can make a dramatic difference in a wedding ring overall. Matching some details with an engagement ring can make creating a coordinated set easier, or you can choose a diamond wedding ring that will stand apart to be worn separately.

Choosing a diamond wedding ring should be done with the same care, love, and passion as choosing the partner you share your lifelong vows with. As you will be wearing the ring as long as you share those vows, it is important to make a choice you adore just as much on the day you first put it on as you will on your fifth, tenth, or fiftieth wedding anniversary.
