If you're here, it means that you have reached the most beautiful phase of your journey. Congratulations! 

But before you start thinking about wedding bands, here’s something to consider: we’ll spend months researching the perfect phone or a bike that’ll only last a couple of years, but a wedding band? That’s a lifetime commitment! It's not just a ring; it’s a symbol of your love, worn every day, through every moment, forever. Don't worry, we've got the research done so you save the time…

Let's begin! 

1. The size of your pocket is the first thing to consider!

Leave everything aside and just pull out your wallet (hey, not literally!) . This step is the most important and probably the most ignored one. You need to remember, there's no end to goodness. No matter the money spent, you'll always see a better design for the best one that you would ever pick. So what to do? — Sit down with your partner, and talk out the numbers. Set your budget first. 

How will this help? 

• You'll narrow down your choices 
• You'll know exactly what aspects and styles will fit your wallet 
• You can research limited ring designs and come up with the best from the lot easily. 
• You save up the frustration of falling in love with a ring that burns a hole in your pockets. 
• Helps the jeweller understand your choices and help you with better suggestions.
• And of course will save a lot of time, disappointments and mismatched expectations!
  
  

2. Ring Set Type

This depends on which chapter of your love story you guys are writing at the moment. Is it on the engagement ring part with the wedding after a few years? Or are you planning to get hitched within a few months? 

You can plan your purchase and get either of these: 

1. Couple wedding ring set: When you plan only for the wedding bands, going for a wedding set helps you compliment your partner's ring design. 
   
   
2. A bridal ring set: This needs to be pre-planned. So if the engagement and wedding dates are close by, you can simply pick a stackable wedding ring set like this Pear-Shaped Natural Diamond Halo Bridal Set. 

You can also plan to pick an engagement ring of a simpler style to compliment your wedding ring or go with a wedding ring that'll at least not be a mismatch to your engagement ring. 

Check out this Lab-Grown-Channel and Prong Set Diamond Cathedral Ring Wrap. It's the dream wedding ring set for any woman! You can keep the wedding ring a simple no fuss solitaire and remove the wrap for everyday use. Wear it back whenever the diva vibe kicks in! 

Shopping in stacks is the latest trends and here's how people are popularly doing it: 

• A stack consisting of promise ring, engagement ring and wedding ring complimenting each other 
  
  
• A stack consisting of an engagement ring, wedding ring and a milestone anniversary. 
  
  

However, to buy it separately or altogether at once is a personal choice. 

3. Non-matching wedding rings: This is a great option if you want your love emblem to speak to both of you as a couple and as individuals. Simply go on your ways and decide upon your wedding ring for women and for the groom separately. This also leaves room for potential surprise to pop the question! 

3. Take Note of Your Lifestyle

Your wedding ring isn't just a symbol of love; it's something you'll wear every day, for the rest of your life! It needs to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Think about what works best for your daily activities. For instance, if you're someone who types all day or works with your hands, a simple, solid gold band or a low-profile design might be ideal—it minimises snagging and keeps things practical.  

For those with active lifestyles who still want a touch of sparkle, channel-set gemstones are a fantastic option. In this setting, small diamonds or other gems are secured snugly within the band, offering brilliance and durability. Whether you're hitting the gym, working outdoors, or exploring the world, your ring stays intact and stunning.  

And remember: practicality doesn't mean sacrificing style. Choose a design that reflects your personality while matching your everyday needs. After all, your wedding ring should shine as brightly as your love—whether you're typing, hiking, or just enjoying life!

4. Choose Your Wedding Ring Type

From the myriad of rings and too many designs— choosing just one, is overwhelming. It's important to do your homework and narrow-down the preferences, so you know exactly what you wish and will be able to carry the best. Umm…you can think of it like selecting a tattoo design! 

So, here's the basic aspects to take into account when choosing your ring:

• The ring profile
• Ring style
• Band Width
• Metal Type
• Stone
  
  

The Ring Profile: 

Did you know that the shape of your wedding ring, or its profile, can completely change its look and feel? Choosing the right one isn’t just about style—it’s about comfort too!  

Here are the four key profiles to know:  

• Court: A classic with rounded edges for ultimate comfort.  
• Domed Court: A subtle curve on top and inside for a sleek, modern vibe.  
• D-Shape: Flat on the inside, curved on the outside—traditional yet timeless.  
• Flat Court: A contemporary flat top with soft edges for a balanced look.  

At Angara, all our rings are crafted with comfort in mind, but finding your perfect fit makes it uniquely yours.

Ring Style: 

From sleek, thin bands to bold, diamond-set dazzlers—or even something bespoke—your wedding ring should feel as unique as your love story.

• Plain Bands: Timeless and minimal, perfect for everyday elegance without any gemstones. 
• Chevron: A chic, modern twist that pairs beautifully with solitaires. It's V-shaped, often representing a tiara or book flipping. 
• Solitaire Enhancers: Designed to highlight and complement your Solitaire ring.
• Symbolic Styles: Carry deeper meanings, from infinity to personalised designs.
• Half Eternity: A touch of sparkle with diamonds only halfway around.
• Full Eternity: A band of endless brilliance, just like your commitment. These are spin proof and are usually of two kinds: 
• Pavé Set: Delicate sparkle with tiny diamonds set close together.
• Channel Set: Diamonds securely nestled side by side for a sleek and sophisticated look.
  
  

You can also go with more symbolic options. Some of the popular ones are: 

• The Classic Solitaire: Be it of any precious stone, a single gem would always represent ‘one love’, forever, and always! You can choose your shape and mean the same; however, the round brilliant and heart-shaped solitaire rings are the most popular ones. 

• Two-stone ring or Toi-et-moi ring: This ring in French represents ‘You & Me’ with two stones that may be of different shapes. For example, instead of a round diamond solitaire you choose a pearl and round shaped diamond side by side on a plain band. This represents two different individuals complementing each other beautifully. To know more why choose two stone rings for your special days 

• Three-stone-rings: Also known as the Trinity ring, it represents the past, present and future. Well, it's symbolic of the fact that soulmates walk along with you throughout life— whether you realise it or not! 

• Infinity ring: represents never-ending, boundless love. 
  
  

Width: 

Ladies often go for bands around 4mm—perfectly complementing their engagement rings with a subtle, elegant touch. Gents? They usually lean toward broader bands, between 5mm and 7mm, striking that balance between bold and comfy.

If you’re all about making a statement or have larger hands, bands in the 8–9mm range are a game-changer. They’re bold, eye-catching, and unapologetically stylish! 

Metal:

When it comes to wedding rings, the metal you choose is just as important as the design. Each metal brings its own charm, durability, and ability to complement different skin tones: 

• White Gold: Loved for its modern champagne-white brilliance, white gold is a sleek choice for those who favour contemporary elegance. It’s plated with rhodium to increase durability, making it a practical yet stylish option. Perfect for cooler skin tones, its neutral sheen pairs beautifully with diamonds and other gemstones.

• Yellow gold: This is the traditional pick. Its yellow gold’s warm, golden glow is a flattering choice for warmer or olive skin tones. 

• Rose gold: Romantic and unique, rose gold’s pinkish hue sets it apart. It’s a fantastic choice for those seeking a soft, vintage vibe. With its copper content, it’s more durable than white and yellow gold. Rose gold looks stunning on all skin tones, but its rosy warmth particularly complements fair to medium complexions.
  
  

Stone: 

Choosing the stone for your wedding ring is where sentiment and sparkle come together. Start by deciding if you want the timeless brilliance of a diamond, the personal touch of a birthstone, or the symbolism of another precious gem. Then you got to decide the — 

1. Stone shape:  Pick the stone shape, such as round, princess, oval, or emerald. Each of them have distinct characteristics and proportions that plays a big role in complementing your chosen wedding band style. 
   
   
2. Profile: The stone profile refers to how your gemstone is set on the ring, impacting both its appearance and practicality.

• High Profile: Stones sit prominently above the band, showcasing maximum brilliance and detail. Perfect for those who want their ring to make a bold statement.
• Low Profile: Stones are set closer to the band, offering a sleek and understated look. Ideal for active lifestyles or those preferring a minimalist aesthetic.

Your choice of profile can influence how the ring feels and how it complements your everyday style, so pick one that reflects both your personality and comfort.

3. Stone Setting: There are so many stone setting options you can explore — for timeless elegance, opt for a prong setting that maximises brilliance. Love extra sparkle? A pavé setting adds a glittering surface, while a channel setting offers a sleek, modern vibe with stones nestled in a groove. For a contemporary, protective design, choose a bezel setting, or go minimal with a flush setting that sits level with the band. 

5. Add a Personal Touch 

The wedding band is one of the most special and uncompromisable aspects of your story. It deserves your personal touch that'll make it different from another ring of the same design. With Angara jewellery, you get to enjoy the most elaborated customisation feature that lets you handpick everything from scratch to seal. From the stone quality, gold carat to the setting and personalisations— just everything! 

Come, let’s make your wedding ring as unforgettable as your journey together. Here’s how:

• Engrave Your Love:

Nothing says “one-of-a-kind” like engraving your wedding rings. Keep it short and sweet for readability, but let your imagination run wild. Popular choices include your wedding date, initials, nicknames, or meaningful phrases like "Forever yours," or "Till death do us part.” But tbh, your love story deserves its own secret script (and we can help you too!)

• Add Symbolic Details

Want to weave more meaning into your rings? Add a charm, incorporate your lucky number with the diamond count, or opt for a gemstone that’s astrologically significant. It’s these thoughtful details that make your ring uniquely you.

• Add Birthstones 

You can always play around with birthstones. For example, you can mix and match your birthstone in a two-stone ring design and literally mean the symbolism!
