Do wedding bands have to match?
Traditionally, wedding bands were made as sets and were intended to match. But today, there are no rules to say your wedding bands have to be identical or come in a matching pair. In fact, current trends encourage you to mix and match, selecting a ring pairing that’s representative of both of your unique personalities. Here’s a look at different wedding band options to help you make a perfect choice.
Making the decision
Ultimately, the wedding band you choose should be something you love. After all, it’s meant to be worn every day. Consequently, you and your significant other should get rings you both find attractive and that suit each of your lifestyles. It's a wonderful gesture of love and commitment to get wedding bands that match, but you don't have to. It is our opinion that non-matching bands are no less meaningful.
Unique options
Traditional gold, silver and platinum wedding bands are classic favourites. But tastes vary, and sometimes allergies demand that people look beyond conventional wedding band materials. Explore these modern alternatives:
- Titanium bands are lightweight, stylish and affordable. They come in various styles, including hand-hammered and carved. Titanium can even be set with yellow gold or diamonds for added flair.
- Tungsten carbide is a durable and low-maintenance material. It makes a striking design statement while being much more affordable than gold or silver.
- Ceramic wedding bands are hypoallergenic, scratch resistant and will maintain their shine for decades. They also come in a variety of colours to suit any style.
- Tantalum is a dark grey metal that doesn’t tarnish. It also won’t chip, crack or shatter and is malleable enough that it can be easily refinished if scratched.
- Silicone bands are the perfect fit for individuals who have an active lifestyle or work with their hands. Comfortable and affordable, silicone wedding bands are also heat resistant and non-conductive, so you can keep your love with you in any situation.
