Arthur's Jewelers Guide: Selecting the Perfect Wedding Bands for You and Your Partner

Select the Perfect Bands

Set Your Budget First

Embarking on the journey to find the perfect wedding bands can seem overwhelming at first. With varying advice on how much to spend—ranging from "splurge to your heart's content" to "adhere to the one month's salary rule"—it ultimately comes down to what feels right for you.

Before you rush into buying the most exquisite bands available, take a moment to consider your finances. There's a plethora of beautiful rings available that won't break the bank, allowing you to allocate more funds towards your wedding celebration or that dream honeymoon.

The Art of Matching Bands

In the quest for wedding bands, it's easy to aim for luxury to dazzle your loved ones. However, opting for something unique can be even more meaningful. Customized rings offer a chance to reflect both your individualities and unity. Imagine a wedding band designed to complement your engagement ring, adorned with eye-catching details or a vibrant inlay that speaks to your personal story.

Take personalization a step further by connecting your bands through engraving. Be it an inside joke, a beloved quote, or a nickname, these details forge a deeper connection between you and your partner, making your bands truly one of a kind.

Consider the Long Haul

View your wedding bands not just as jewelry, but as an investment in your future together. Durability is key, especially for those in the military or demanding professions. Look beyond traditional gold and explore rings crafted from robust materials like cobalt chrome or carbon fiber to ensure your bands endure alongside your marriage.

Wedding Expenses

Navigating Wedding Expenses

Understanding who pays for what in a wedding can be complex, with traditions often guiding the division. Typically, the groom's family might cover the rings, license, rehearsal dinner, officiant, and honeymoon, with potential additions like bridesmaids' flowers. Meanwhile, the bride's side traditionally handles the dress, invitations, photography, and reception details. However, modern practices vary, and it's common for families to adapt these roles based on their circumstances.

At Arthur's Jewelers, we're dedicated to helping you find wedding bands that not only symbolize your love but also celebrate your unique journey together. Whether through budgeting, customizing, or selecting the ideal materials, we're here to ensure your bands are as enduring as your commitment to each other.

Celebrate Color with Ruby or Sapphire Eternity Bands

For those trend forward brides who lean towards options, they're looking less for the traditional solitaire or wedding band and looking for more color with different gemstones, or even an unusual eternity band.  These two trends make the Tacori new Ruby and Sapphire Eternity bands exceptionally attractive. You get a major lux look that's totally unique and versatile enough to build a power ring stack, without the big price of diamonds. 

When Tacori posted this Sapphire eternity band on Instagram last year, it instantly became their most viral ring of the year. And then when they posted the Ruby and Sapphire ring later in December, their website search traffic for "Ruby" increased by more than 300%!  This isn't yet a mainstream look, which is why we expect to see celebrating color with rubies and sapphire eternity bands begin to emerge big in 2019.

 All of the Tacori RoyalT bands are available with Sapphires, Rubies, or Diamonds. The choice is yours.

Stacked Wedding Bands

Today we’re sharing five modern ring pairings we love—from clashing metal colors to unique shapes—using stunning options from California-based jeweler Tacori.

Multiple Bands

In the spirit of breaking rules, why not stack three (or more!) bands together? Whether you simply can’t decide on just one wedding band or you want to give that family heirloom an updated twist, mixing and matching multiple bands create a chic modern look. This rose gold set is especially enviable if we do say so ourselves.

 

Twins for the Win

Speaking of stacking multiple bands, another fashion-girl way to achieve the look is to layer two of the same wedding bands with your engagement ring. Stack the twin styles together to create a thicker-looking band, or sandwich your engagement ring in between, as demonstrated with these simple gold finds. Either way, with more bling involved, you really can't go wrong.

 

Interesting Shapes

Modern brides are on the lookout for a truly unique ring style. One of our favorite ways to stand out from the crowd is stacking rings together with interesting diamond cuts that are both elegant and unexpected. Tacori makes it easy with ring options featuring pear-, marquise-, and oval-shaped diamonds turned on their sides for a spin on the classic elongated look.

 

Mixed Metals

As far as we’re concerned, clashing metals hasn’t been a faux pas in at least a decade, and complementary designs that mix metal colors are a great option for a creative engagement and wedding ring pairing. Just make sure to pick different colors of the same material—like rose gold, white gold, and yellow gold—because non-alike metals will scratch when stacked together. The best part about this look is that any other day-to-day jewelry you wear will effortlessly tie in with your rings.

 

Coordinated Cuts

If you have a classic taste but still want something a little less obvious, the answer lies in the diamond cut. Once you select the cut of the center stone (like this stunning emerald shape) for your engagement ring, use the same one for the diamonds around your wedding band. This polished look is elegant and timeless—a match made in ring-stacking heaven.
