Curved Wedding Bands

FAQs About Curved Wedding Bands

What is a curved wedding band?

A curved wedding band is uniquely shaped with an arc, V-shape, or dip on one side. This design is multifunctional: it reduces gaps between stacked rings, beautifully frames and protects the primary stones of an engagement ring, and adds a touch of luxury to a ring set. Such bands are particularly adept at creating a unified and elegant look when combined with simpler rings, symbolising unity and continuity.

When do you need a curved wedding band?

A curved wedding band is advisable when your engagement ring features a low-set stone or a special diamond cut that might not align well with a straight band. A curved wedding ring eliminates any space between the bands, ensuring a seamless and comfortable fit that enhances the main stone’s characteristics. Consider a curved or V-shaped wedding band for engagement rings with oval, pear, or even round-cut diamonds.

What is the best metal for a curved wedding band?

Selecting the appropriate metal for a curved wedding band involves considering both aesthetics and durability. Gold, whether in yellow, white, or rose shades, is a timeless choice for its beauty and versatility. Platinum, valued for its robustness and natural white lustre, is an exquisite option that complements diamond settings perfectly. To achieve a consistent look, opt for the same metal as your engagement ring. However, V-shaped wedding bands are flexible and look stunning with various metals, making them ideal for marking special moments like anniversaries or birthdays.

How do you fit a curved wedding band to an engagement ring?

Fitting a curved wedding band to an engagement ring typically requires a bespoke ring made to match precisely. This involves measuring the engagement ring so the stone fits snugly into the wedding band’s curve. Alternatively, if you are still selecting an engagement ring, consider a bridal set that includes a curved wedding band. These sets are designed to match perfectly, ensuring the curved wedding band complements the engagement ring seamlessly. For more tailored options, use AURONIA’s wedding ring configurator to design your band with personal preferences in mind, selecting dimensions, metal, and style to suit every aspect of your engagement ring.

Do you wear a curved wedding band on top or bottom of your engagement ring?

The placement of a curved wedding band, either above or below the engagement ring, typically depends on personal style and the design of the rings. Generally, as they are crafted to contour around the engagement ring’s centre stone, curved bands are often worn below to embrace the base of the diamond. However, the trend of wearing a curved wedding ring both above and below the engagement ring has gained popularity, allowing for varied stacking styles and added protection for your engagement ring from daily wear and impacts. If preferred, you can alternate between top and bottom placement for different occasions or to suit your mood, enjoying the flexibility a curved wedding band provides.

Are curved wedding bands trendy?

Curved wedding bands have become increasingly popular among couples in recent years. Curved wedding bands add a subtle sparkle and stylish flair while maintaining a slim profile, making them perfect companions for various engagement ring styles. Their adaptability ensures they remain a favoured choice, transcending temporary fashion trends to become a timeless element of bridal jewellery.
