One of the dreams that every woman has is getting a marriage proposal by the man of her dreams, accompanied by an engagement ring that will knock her off her feet. It was traditional that the groom got the engagement ring for the bride by himself, and this is how it is still done. However, sometimes, the bride or someone from her family gets or buys the engagement ring and gives it to the groom so that he proposes to the bride.
In addition to the engagement ring, women also wear a wedding band. This wedding band symbolizes the union of the new couple and the promise to love and support each other for the rest of their lives. It’s also an efficient system used by most society to identify married people from unmarried people.
So, in the end, women end up wearing two rings, the engagement ring and the wedding band. Ideally, these two are worn on the same hand and should look complementary to each other.
Nevertheless, sometimes their form doesn’t match and they don’t look as well together. In order to solve this problem, some jewelers have come up with the idea of making curved wedding bands.
The principle behind curved wedding bands is simple. The main difference between and engagement ring and a wedding band is that the engagement ring features a single rock or motive that crowns it, for example, a diamond. The wedding band, on the other hand, tends to be even all around. This creates a disparity on the point where the rock of the engagement ring and the wedding band meet.
Curved wedding bands solve this problem by having a small curve in an area. This curve allows curved wedding bands to negotiate the rock and fit it in the small niche that is formed inside the curve. This makes the whole setting much nicer to the sight. People like this ensemble of curved wedding rings and engagement rings because they fit together so much better and don’t have a space between them.
Curved wedding bands are a great option when they are made with the engagement ring as a model. This allows for a much better fit.
Also, when the jeweler has seen the engagement ring, he can propose a better complementary job. For example, some curved wedding bands feature small diamonds in the curve, which complement a big diamond on the engagement ring. Also, curved wedding bands look much better if they’re made of the same color or material of the engagement ring. Even if not, curved wedding bands should be of a color that goes well with the color of the engagement ring.
In conclusion, curved wedding bands aren’t great by themselves, but they really make the ensemble look great.
