Things to Consider Before Choosing a Wedding Band for Your Emerald-Cut Engagement Ring

With the rise of Mod ring stacks at an all-time high, you’ll need this concise emerald-cut engagement ring guide so you end up with the perfect wedding band for it.

1. What style is your emerald-cut engagement ring?

If you want your engagement ring to be the star of the show, you should be clear about what style your emerald-cut stunner is (solitaire, three-stone, halo, etc.), because you don’t want the wedding band to overpower it but highlight its beauty instead.

2. Are you a minimalist or a maximalist?

Metal bands (and maybe a few diamonds) are an apt choice for the minimalists, but if you’re up for a little more bling, pick a colored gemstone wedding band instead.

Angara offers a variety of gemstone wedding bands in various styles to complement your engagement ring and add vibrance and personality to your bridal stack. So, whether you’re looking to stack an emerald-cut tanzanite ring or an emerald engagement ring for women, we’ve got you covered.

3. How often do you plan to wear your wedding band?

If you’re a never-taking-it-off kinda gal, you want to pay attention to the durability of your gemstone wedding band. Gemstones like diamond, sapphire and ruby that have a Mohs hardness rating of more than 7 are great for everyday wear.

4. Do you want your rings to sit flush against each other?

Do you want your emerald-cut engagement ring and wedding band to fit together like a puzzle? Then, choose a contoured, open or curved band.

But perhaps you don’t plan on wearing the two rings on the same finger. Well, in that case, the world is your oyster—you can choose any wedding band you like.

5. How do you like your metals?

Selecting a wedding band and an engagement ring in the same metal creates a synchronized look, while mixing metals will make your bridal stack look interesting and on-trend.

So, if you’ve just got a silver emerald-cut diamond ring, don’t feel shy to mix it with a yellow-gold wedding band.

Found! The Best Wedding Bands for Emerald-Cut Engagement Ring

Trust us, you’ll hear “wow” when you pair these wedding bands with your emerald-cut engagement ring.

1. Complementary Cuts

Who doesn’t love a matchy-matchy look? An emerald-cut engagement ring’s bold, elongated facets are echoed best by an emerald-cut wedding band (no points for guessing).

But that’s not the only choice. You can also turn to square-cut, princess-cut and baguette wedding bands to create a visual harmony that is both modern and chic.

2. Pop of Shine

The emerald cut is très chic, but let’s face it; it is coveted more for its elongating effect than its shine. Enter: Round-cut stone wedding bands.

Round-cut stones are known for max brilliance and pairing them with a classic solitaire emerald-cut engagement ring will pack a punch and give your stack a lovely contrast. It’s a winner all the way!

3. Contoured Couture

We love the idea of contoured wedding bands. The right one can fit snugly against the emerald-cut engagement ring and thus, offer a visual aesthetic like no other. Quite like you and your S.O. fitting together like two pieces of a puzzle *wink*

Plus, the perfect nestling of the two rings ensures that the rings don’t rub against each other which prevents the center stone from chipping.

4. Matching Styles

While your wedding band shouldn’t overshadow your sparkler, who says it can’t be equally showstopping?

Ornate bands will not only look great when paired with your engagement ring but will also make a statement on their own. The only rule to follow? Try to pick a matching style. For instance, if you have a vintage-style emerald-cut engagement ring with milgrain detailing, go for a wedding band with similar elements. Or if your ring has a twisted shank, pick a wedding band with a twisted design as well.

5. Open Bar

Open rings are super trendy, but more than that, they can add to the sparkle of your solitaire emerald-cut engagement ring by making them seem slightly more elaborate. What’s more, open rings come with a negative space (the space inside is where your center stone fits in), giving your wedding stack an illusion of a singular ring. And all in all, it’s such a fun andunique wedding band for an emerald-cut engagement ring;we bet your hands will grab attention where ever you go!
