How wide should women’s wedding bands be?

Women’s wedding bands typically range from 1.4 to 4 millimeters in width for a classic look. However, the choice is ultimately yours, as these bands symbolise your love and can be as wide or narrow as you prefer.

On which hand do women wear their wedding rings?

In the UK, women traditionally wear their wedding rings on the left hand, on the fourth finger. This tradition varies globally, so the choice ultimately lies with you and your partner.

This tradition is rooted in the ancient belief that a vein in the left ring finger is connected directly to the heart, symbolising a perpetual cycle of love that connects directly to the heart.

What metal is used for women’s wedding rings?

A variety of metals and alloys are used for women’s wedding rings, with yellow, white, rose gold, and platinum being among the most popular. AURONIA provides all these metal options, offering you the freedom to select and customise the perfect wedding ring to your liking.

Ultimately, the choice of metal for women’s wedding bands is a matter of personal preference, with beauty lying in the eye of the beholder.

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

The primary difference between women’s wedding rings and engagement rings lies in their symbolism and design. Engagement rings, often given at the proposal, signify the promise of marriage, usually featuring a prominent centre stone surrounded by smaller accent stones. These rings represent the couple's commitment to each other.

On the other hand, wedding bands for women have simpler features like low-profile gemstones or straightforward polished bands. These rings are exchanged during the wedding ceremony to symbolise the couple's union. Despite the engagement ring often being more eye-catching, both rings are worn on the same finger, and it's the combination of both that holds deep significance, emotional value, and the bond between partners.

Should wedding rings for women match the engagement ring?

Whether wedding rings for women should match the engagement ring is a matter of personal choice. Some prefer a matching set for a unified look, achievable by purchasing rings together or creating a custom set.

However, it's essential to remember that there are no strict rules regarding the pairing of wedding bands and engagement rings. The decision is entirely up to what feels right for you.

Who buys the women’s wedding bands?

Traditionally, the bride and groom select the wedding rings together, unlike the engagement ring, which is often chosen by the proposer as a surprise. This makes purchasing women’s wedding bands a collaborative decision, also providing an opportunity to select the man’s ring, ensuring both partners find symbols that truly represent their commitment.
