Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting times in your life. You spend months picking out the perfect dress, finding a beautiful venue, and tasting endless slices of cake. But long after the flowers have faded and the big day is over, your wedding ring remains. It is a beautiful, everyday reminder of your love story and the promises you made to each other.
At Vermae Jewelry, we know that picking the right ring is a big deal. You want something that matches your style, fits comfortably, and sparkles just the way you like it. That is why we have put together this complete guide to help you find the absolute best wedding bands for women.
Whether you want a simple gold band or a ring covered in diamonds, we are here to make your shopping experience easy and fun. Let us explore the different styles, shapes, and tips for finding the wedding band of your dreams!
Why the Wedding Band Matters
The tradition of wearing a wedding ring goes back thousands of years. Ancient cultures believed that a circle, having no beginning and no end, was the perfect symbol for forever. They also believed that the "ring finger" on your left hand had a vein that ran straight to your heart.
Today, wearing a wedding band shows the world that you are committed to the one you love. Because you will wear this ring every single day, it needs to be special. It should be comfortable enough to wear while typing at work, cooking dinner, or relaxing on the weekend. At Vermae Jewelry, we create rings that are not just beautiful, but also built to last a lifetime.
Exploring Wedding Ring Shapes at Vermae Jewelry
Every woman is unique, and her jewellery should be, too. The shape of the diamonds or gemstones in your wedding band changes the whole look of the ring. Some shapes give off a classic vibe, while others look modern or even vintage.
Here is a look at the stunning diamond shapes we offer at Vermae Jewelry.
1. The Classic Round Wedding Ring
You can never go wrong with a classic. Round wedding rings are the most popular choice for a very good reason. The round shape is cut to give off the maximum amount of light. This means it sparkles more than almost any other shape. If you love a timeless look that will never go out of style, a round band is a perfect choice. It pairs beautifully with almost any engagement ring.
2. The Elegant Oval Wedding Ring
If you want something classic but with a little twist, look at our oval wedding rings. The stretched-out shape of an oval diamond looks incredibly elegant. Because it is longer, it can actually make your fingers look longer and more slender. Oval rings have become very popular in recent years for brides who want a soft, romantic look with plenty of shine.
3. The Modern Princess Wedding Ring
Do you love clean lines and modern design? If so, you will love our princess wedding rings. Princess cut diamonds are square with sharp, pointed corners. They offer brilliant sparkle and look amazing when lined up side-by-side in a wedding band. This shape is perfect for the bold bride who wants her ring to stand out.
4. The Vintage Marquise Wedding Ring
For a ring that looks like a beautiful antique, explore our marquise wedding rings. The marquise shape is shaped like a little boat or a football, with pointed ends and a curved middle. This unique shape was actually created for a French king centuries ago! It gives a ring a beautiful, vintage feel. Like the oval shape, the marquise cut is also great for making fingers look longer.
5. The Soft Cushion Wedding Ring
Think of a square, but with soft, rounded corners—just like a pillow on your couch. That is the cushion cut! Our cushion wedding rings bring together the best of both worlds. They have the square shape of a princess cut but the soft edges of a round cut. This shape has a lovely, old-world charm that many brides adore.
6. The Brilliant Radiant Wedding Ring
If you want maximum sparkle in a square or rectangular shape, the radiant cut is for you. Our radiant wedding rings are made with diamonds that have a special faceting pattern. This pattern catches the light in a beautiful way, hiding tiny flaws and making the ring shine brightly from every angle.
7. The Unique Pear Wedding Ring
Also known as a teardrop, the pear shape is striking and unique. Our pear wedding rings feature stones that are round on one end and pointed on the other. This shape is perfect for the bride who likes to do things a little differently. It is a stunning, eye-catching choice that always starts a conversation.
8. The Glamorous Emerald Wedding Ring
If you love the "Art Deco" style from the 1920s, you will fall in love with our emerald wedding rings. Instead of sparkling like a disco ball, emerald-cut diamonds give off a sleek, sophisticated flash of light. They are rectangular with flat, step-like cuts on the sides. It is a very glamorous and elegant choice.
9. The Romantic Heart Wedding Ring
What better way to show your love than with a heart? Our heart wedding rings are the ultimate symbol of romance. Cutting a diamond into a perfect heart takes a lot of skill, so these rings are very special. If you are a true romantic, a heart-shaped band is a beautiful way to celebrate your marriage.
How to Match Your Band to Your Engagement Ring
One of the biggest questions brides have is, "How do I match my wedding band to my engagement ring?" There are no strict rules, but here are a few simple tips to help you decide.
The Perfect Match
Some brides want their wedding band to look exactly like the band on their engagement ring. If your engagement ring has a row of round diamonds, you might want a wedding band with the exact same size and shape of round diamonds. This creates a very clean, uniform look.
If you are still shopping for your engagement ring, or if you want to upgrade, check out our amazing selection of engagement rings. We have everything from simple solitaire rings to fancy shapes.
You can even shop by shape to find a perfect match:
The Mixed Metal Look
You do not have to stick to just one metal colour! If your engagement ring is white gold, it is very trendy right now to choose a yellow gold or rose gold wedding band. Mixing metals gives your ring stack a fun, modern feel. It also means your rings will match perfectly no matter what other jewellery you wear that day.
Mixing Shapes for Extra Fun
Who says your diamond shapes have to match? Pairing a round engagement ring with a marquise wedding band creates a beautiful texture. Or, try putting an emerald-cut engagement ring next to a round wedding band. Mixing shapes adds personality to your rings and makes them uniquely yours.
Choosing the Right Metal for Your Lifestyle
When shopping at the Vermae website, you will notice that rings come in different metals. The metal you pick is just as important as the diamonds.
-
White Gold: This is very popular because of its bright, silvery colour. It looks amazing with diamonds and makes them look even whiter. However, it does need to be re-coated (called rhodium plating) every few years to keep it looking shiny.
-
Yellow Gold: Yellow gold is a classic choice that is making a huge comeback. It has a warm, beautiful glow that looks great on all skin tones. It is also very easy for jewellers to resize if your finger size changes over the years.
-
Rose Gold: This metal gets its beautiful pink tint from a mix of gold and copper. Rose gold is very romantic and is actually stronger than yellow or white gold because of the copper inside it.
-
Platinum: Platinum looks a lot like white gold, but it is much stronger and heavier. It naturally stays white and never needs to be re-coated. It is more expensive, but it is a wonderful choice for people who work with their hands because it doesn't scratch as easily.
Completing Your Bridal Look
Your wedding band is the star of the show, but what about the rest of your wedding day jewellery? You want to look completely radiant when you walk down the aisle. At Vermae Jewelry, we have everything you need to finish your bridal look.
-
Necklaces: A delicate necklace can beautifully frame your face, especially if you are wearing a dress with a lower neckline. Browse our collection of necklaces to find a simple pendant or a sparkling diamond piece.
-
Earrings: Whether you wear your hair up or down, earrings add that final touch of magic. From classic diamond studs to fancy drop earrings, our earrings will make you shine.
-
Bracelets: A subtle bracelet peeking out from under your sleeve adds a beautiful layer of sparkle. Check out our bracelets to find something that matches your rings perfectly.
Also, do not forget about your bridal party! Giving jewellery is a wonderful way to say "thank you" to your bridesmaids, mother, or mother-in-law. Take a look at our gifts section to find beautiful, lasting presents for the special people helping you celebrate your big day.
How to Care for Your Vermae Wedding Band
Once you have your beautiful Vermae wedding band on your finger, you will want to keep it looking brand new. Jewellery is delicate, and a little bit of care goes a long way.
Here are some easy tips to keep your ring sparkling:
-
Take it off during messy jobs: We recommend taking your ring off when you are cleaning the house with harsh chemicals, working in the garden, or doing heavy lifting at the gym. Chemicals can make the metal look dull, and lifting weights can actually bend the shape of your ring!
-
Clean it gently at home: You do not need fancy cleaners to make your ring shine. Simply soak your ring in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for about 15 minutes. Use a very soft baby toothbrush to gently brush away dirt, especially under the diamonds. Rinse it in clean water and dry it with a soft cloth.
-
Store it safely: When you are not wearing your ring, keep it in a soft cloth bag or a lined jewellery box. Do not toss it in a drawer with other jewellery, as diamonds can actually scratch other diamonds and metals.
-
Get it checked: It is a good idea to have a jeweller look at your ring once a year. They can check to make sure the little metal claws holding your diamonds (called prongs) are tight so you do not lose a stone.
Finding Your Ring Size
Shopping for rings online at Vermae is easy, but you need to know your correct size. Your ring should slide on easily, but it should take a little bit of a pull to get it off over your knuckle. This ensures it won't fall off when your hands are cold.
Keep in mind that your fingers change size during the day. They are usually smaller in the morning and a bit swollen by the evening. The best time to measure your finger is in the late afternoon when your hands are warm. If you are stuck between two sizes, it is usually safer to order the slightly larger size, as it is much easier for a jeweller to make a ring smaller than it is to make it bigger.
A Promise That Lasts a Lifetime
Buying a wedding band is not like buying a regular piece of jewellery. It is an emotional purchase. It marks the moment when two families become one, and when you promise to stand by your partner through all of life’s ups and downs.
At Vermae Jewelry, we are honoured to be a small part of your love story. We take great pride in making sure every ring we create is perfect. From the careful setting of each tiny diamond to the smooth polish of the metal, we want you to be completely in love with your ring.
Whether you fall for the vintage charm of a marquise band, the modern edge of a princess band, or the classic beauty of a round band, we have the perfect fit waiting for you.
Your wedding day will fly by in a happy blur of music, dancing, and laughter. But tomorrow, and ten years from tomorrow, you will look down at your hand and see the beautiful ring you chose. Let us help you make sure it is a ring that makes you smile every single time.
