His and Hers Wedding Bands

(Source)

It used to be the case that couples picked out matching his and hers wedding bands to commemorate their big day. But in the last couples of decades, there has been a break in that tradition with more and more couples choosing totally different rings. Now we're starting to see a shift back into the old-fashioned simplicity that is matching wedding bands and we just can't get enough! We really love this trend. But of course there can be a few challenges that come with picking out a ring that both people will be happy to wear. If you're thinking of getting matching wedding bands, here are a few questions to ask yourself:

Does it work with my engagement ring?

If you will be wearing an engagement ring with your band, be sure that whatever bands you pick look good with your engagement ring. Your band doesn't need to match your engagement perfectly but they it should complement the style and color well.

Does the band size work for both of us?

Remember that women's fingers are usually smaller than men's fingers and a thick band might overwhelm a woman's hand. If you have trouble finding a size that works for both of you, try to find bands that match in style but come in different thicknesses.

Are we both okay with bling on our rings?

Since some of those matching band sets out there come with a lot of diamonds and other bling on them, be sure to check with your partner to make sure you two are on the same page with the bling factor. You may find that your partner wants a plain band while you can't take your eyes off of those pavé bands.

Ring shopping is so much fun! Just remember to communicate and listen to your partner. Happy browsing!

[Wedding Bands]

His and hers wedding bands are often multi-purpose, sometimes used as bangles sometimes as a watch, sometimes just to accompany the bare wrist. They could be wide and thick representing the silver band worn to display strength in some families or could be as narrow as a lace, with delicate designs and feather like elegance.
