Curved Wedding Bands
Curved wedding bands include a soft arc or sharp v-shaped design to romantically cradle the center stone of an engagement ring. This wedding ring style is a superb choice for oval, pear, or lower set diamonds, as classic bands may create a small gap between the two rings.
A curved wedding ring is designed to sit flush against another ring to create harmony between the two pieces. Whether exchanged at the altar or worn as a stackable ring for anniversaries or birthdays, curved bands are a unique option to showcase your bling.

Curved Wedding Rings
Curved wedding rings, also known as shadow bands, are designed to follow the shape of another ring (like a shadow). They’re a special choice, both for their style and function, and one of the best ways to highlight the qualities of your matching jewelry, namely a center diamond of an engagement ring that sits neatly in the curve.
A contour wedding band can be understated or eye catching. For a sleek, uniform look, choose the same precious metal as the engagement ring. Or accentuate the pair with added sparkle from v-shaped eternity bands and pavé settings. As a symbol of interlocking unity and harmony, curved wedding bands are a unique way to express commitment between partners and celebrate everlasting love.
FAQs About Contour Wedding Bands
What is a curved / contour wedding band?
A curved or contour wedding band is distinctively designed with an arc, V-shape, or dip on one side. This innovative design serves multiple purposes: it minimizes gaps between stacked rings, elegantly showcases and safeguards the primary stones of an engagement ring, and contributes to the overall luxury appeal of a ring set.
Curved wedding bands are particularly effective in creating a seamless and cohesive look when paired with simpler rings, forming an elegant stack that symbolizes unity and continuity.
When do you need a curved wedding band?
Opting for a curved wedding band becomes a practical choice when your engagement ring has a low set stone or a special diamond cut that may feel awkward with a straight band. A curved wedding ring ensures there's no spacing between the bands, providing a seamless and comfortable fit that complements the primary stone’s qualities. It may be worth considering a curved or v-shaped wedding band if your engagement ring has an oval, pear, or even round cut diamond.
What is the best metal for a contoured wedding band?
Choosing the right metal for a contoured wedding band is about balancing looks and longevity. Gold, in yellow, white, or rose, is a classic pick for its beauty and flexibility in design. Platinum, prized for its durability and natural white shine, is a luxurious choice that suits diamond settings flawlessly. To match your engagement ring, opt for the same metal for a consistent color and feel. However, V-shaped wedding bands are versatile and look great when paired with various metals, making them perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, or special occasions.
How do you fit a curved wedding band to an engagement ring?
You can fit a curved wedding band to an engagement ring by having a custom ring made to be an exact match. To do this, you will need to take measurements of the engagement ring so that the stone sits seamlessly in the dip of the wedding band.
An easier method, if you don’t already have an engagement ring, is to consider a bridal set that includes a contoured wedding band. These ring pairs are specially designed to match one another, making it a foolproof way to ensure a curved wedding band fits the engagement ring and has a cohesive appearance.
For even further customization, use AURONIA’s Wedding Ring Designer to design the band with individual preferences in mind. Through this process, you can pick dimensions, the metal, and customize the style so your contoured wedding band will fit every aspect of your engagement ring.
Do you wear a curved wedding band on top or bottom of your engagement ring?
Wearing a curved wedding band on top or bottom of the engagement ring often comes down to personal style and the design of the rings. Generally, curved wedding bands are designed to fit around the contours of the center stone on an engagement ring, so they are often worn below to hug the bottom of the diamond.
However, in recent years, wearing a curved wedding ring on the top and bottom of an engagement ring has become very popular. This allows you to accent your stack in a number of unique ways and provide an additional barrier to protect your engagement ring against daily wear, bumps, and scratches.
If that’s not your style, you could choose to switch from top to bottom for different occasions or change it based on your mood, enjoying the versatility that a curved wedding band offers.
Are curved wedding bands trendy?
Curved wedding bands have witnessed a surge in popularity among couples in recent years. Contour wedding bands help provide an additional sparkle and a stylish twist without adding much bulk, making them great companions to maintain a petite look. Their adaptability to various engagement ring styles further cements their status as a favored choice, transcending fleeting fashion trends to become a staple in bridal jewelry for decades to come.
