How thick should women’s wedding rings be?

Women’s wedding rings should have a width of between 1.4 and 4 millimeters if you’re after a traditional appearance. Of course, there are no hard rules when it comes to wedding rings for women because, as a symbol of your love, they can be as thick or thin as you desire.

What hand do women’s wedding bands go on?

Women’s wedding bands traditionally go on the left hand on the fourth finger. However, cultural norms are different across the world, leaving the option up to you and your partner.

From old folklore and ancient history, it was once believed that a vein in the left ring finger connected directly to the heart, thus making an enduring circle and a sign of everlasting love that connects straight to the heart.

What metal is used for women’s wedding bands?

Many metals and alloys (mixtures of other metals and non-metallic elements) are used for women’s wedding bands. The most popular are yellow, white, rose gold, and platinum. AURONIA offers all these metal options, leaving you with the freedom to find, design, and customize the quality wedding band you’re after.

Ultimately, the metal used for women’s wedding rings is at the discretion of the buyer, leaving the beauty in the eye of the beholder.

What’s the difference between women’s wedding bands and engagement rings?

The main difference between women’s wedding bands and engagement rings is the symbolism and design style. While both rings hold a special place in a woman's heart, their purpose differs slightly.

Engagement rings for women are most often given at the time of the proposal, symbolizing the intent and promise of marriage. Women’s engagement bands often feature a larger center stone, such as a diamond or sapphire, and may be surrounded by smaller accent stones. These types of rings represent the couple's commitment and journey toward blissful matrimony.

On the other hand, wedding rings for women have simpler features like low lying gemstones or more straightforward polished bands. These rings are exchanged during the actual wedding ceremony, signifying the official unification of the couple. Both rings are worn on the same finger, and while the engagement ring can steal the show, it’s the perfect collection that holds significance, sentimental value, and an eternal bond between partners.

Should wedding rings for women match the engagement ring?

The decision of whether wedding rings for women should match an engagement ring boils down to personal preference. Some people prefer a cohesive, harmonious collection where each ring compliments the beauty of the other. This is best achieved by buying rings as a pair or designing a custom bridal set.

However, it’s important to remember that there are no rules or requirements when it comes to wedding bands and engagement rings. Some women may choose to only wear one ring, it’s all about doing what feels best to you.

Who buys the women’s wedding bands?

Traditionally, wedding rings are chosen by both of the partners together, while engagement rings are typically a surprise. So, when it comes to buying women’s wedding bands, the bride and groom often make this decision in unity, making it great chance to buy the man’s ring at the same time. This ensures both partners can select the symbol that best fits their commitment.
