What Is a Woman’s Wedding Ring?

There are no hard-and-fast rules for what styles constitute a "woman's" wedding ring, but in general, rings for women tend to be thinner and more delicate so they look better suited to smaller hands and slender fingers. Many women’s wedding rings also feature additional diamond accents or other gems for extra sparkle and glamor, and many times the rings are designed to match engagement rings for coordinated sets.

But… A woman’s wedding ring can be any style and design she prefers to suit her personal flair and jewelry fashion preferences. Our top picks showcase a range of beautiful wedding rings and exceptional styles that appeal to many different women.

Top 10 Amazing Wedding Ring Styles for Women

Women have a wide range of jewelry styles to choose from – these best styles are the most universally popular and beautiful choices many women adore!

• Pave 

A classic style encrusted with diamonds, pave bands may have diamonds, diamond chips, or even gemstones along just a portion of the band or around the full circumference. If the band is fully covered with small, evenly matched stones, it is called an eternity band, and is a popular choice as an anniversary gift. clarity, untreated rubies with excellent natural color are rare and highly prized.

• Bezel Set 

A bezel setting is a stunning option for a wedding ring that shows off diamonds while ensuring the stones are protected against damage even when worn daily. The alluring curves of a bezel setting also evoke a sense of whimsy and femininity, giving the wedding ring charm and character to match a woman’s personality.

• Openwork 

An openwork ring is a wider band that features more elaborate metalwork with symmetrical spaces and patterns that create a sense of delicacy and intricacy. This type of ring may resemble loose knots, lace, or vintage patterns, and is often set with diamonds or gemstones to enhance its sparkle and fire.

• Multi-Row 

Instead of a thin band, a woman with larger fingers or who plans to wear the wedding ring without an accompanying engagement ring may prefer a multi-row ring. These broader rings feature 2-3 rows of diamonds or gemstones, often with coordinating shapes or alternating patterns of stone shapes for even more distinction.

• Colored Gold 

While yellow gold, white gold, and platinum are the most popular metals for wedding rings, different colored golds can be beautiful options for women’s rings. Rose gold, for example, adds a romantic hue to the ring, while sage or chocolate gold are even more unusual choices that catch the eye and bring more unique style to even the simplest wedding ring.

• Heirloom 

Heirloom wedding rings passed down as family heirlooms can be amazing options for women, especially as they offer a personal connection and rich history of romance for the next generation of marital vows to build on. If a family heirloom isn’t available, choosing a new-to- the-couple vintage or antique ring can still offer those connections, such as being from the same era as a grandparent’s or great-grandparent's wedding ring.

• Gemstone 

Instead of diamond accents in the wedding ring, a gemstone ring can be a lovely choice for any woman with a bold sense of style. Gemstones can also add more symbolism to the ring by representing the month of the wedding, the birthstones of the partners, or other significant dates or spiritual meanings.

• Inspired Styles

Many wedding rings for women are inspired by hot trends and styles. Popular movies and television shows, as well as timeless classics like Disney fairy tales, often inspire rings, and the jewelry of celebrities, superstars, and royalty often inspire new styles and similar rings every woman can enjoy.

• Stacking 

Delicate and amazingly customizable, stacking rings are thin, coordinated bands that can be arranged and rearranged in whatever way a woman’s fashion preferences change over time. The bands may feature stones and could have twists, waves, or other shapes for even more personalization and individual variety.

• Textured 

For a woman who does not want a diamond wedding ring, a textured ring can provide great distinction without the need for extra bling. This allows the engagement ring to shine with its center stone, while the texture of the wedding ring – which may be scalloped, hammered, beaded, carved, twisted, braided, etc. – coordinates with the metal.
