When selecting wedding rings it is also important to consider how the rings can be matched with anniversary rings or even eternity rings in the future. Many couples don’t stop to take these additional ring options in mind when selecting his and her wedding rings and may select styles that these additional bands simply don’t work with.
For most couples eternity rings or anniversary rings in a variety of styles will match with most types of wedding rings and wedding band sets. Commonly only the woman wears an anniversary or eternity ring, and it can be worn with the engagement and wedding ring set.
Anniversary rings and eternity rings are meant to be a symbol of the ongoing love between the couple. They are often rather understated when compared to elaborate engagement rings. They are, however, often more ornate than wedding bands, especially if the bands are very simple in their design.
Since these rings can be worn over or on top of the engagement and wedding rings they tend to have inset diamonds rather than diamonds in raised settings. Channel setting are ideal for these rings since they allow maximum light reflection while keeping the stones flush with the surface of the ring. Most channel style rings will be made of platinum, white gold or yellow gold. Gemstones range from diamonds to rubies, emeralds and sapphires
Another highly popular and brilliant looking setting for these additions to the wedding rings includes the pave setting style. These smaller diamonds are literally set all over the face of the ring, either in whole or in part, to create a brilliant sparkle. This style matches with either ornate styles of wedding rings and engagement rings or more classic, simple bands.
For a setting that is flush with the surface of the wedding rings or anniversary bands the bezel style is always popular. Often the diamonds, which are slightly larger in size, are placed in a pattern around the band. Each diamond catches and reflects light for a beautiful display.
Different cuts of diamonds work very well with all these types of settings. Some of the more popular cuts include the princess cut and the emerald cut. Both of these cuts provide many facets for light reflection and sparkle.
While it is not important for the eternity or anniversary rings to match with wedding rings, selecting a style for each that will provide a beautiful compliment is important. When selecting wedding rings and sets it is always a great idea to ask about eternity or anniversary rings that would match with the set you are selecting.
