wedding bands
There are no set rules about how to wear engagement rings or wedding rings but in the US, they are traditionally worn on the left-hand ring finger with the wedding ring closest to the heart, and the engagement ring stacked on top of it. But the choice comes down to personal preference or customs. Some women prefer to wear their engagement ring on their right ring finger and their wedding ring on their left ring finger. Here are some of the unique looks of the season.

anniversary ring
An anniversary ring is a symbol of commitment exchanged between partners to commemorate a milestone in their relationship, these special rings often feature diamonds or other gemstones and can be worn with the engagement and wedding rings or a stand-alone. This is also an opportunity for jewelers to suggest a reset of the engagement ring or a custom designed piece for a unique personal statement.

men’s wedding bands
During World War I, many men on the frontline began wearing wedding rings in memory of their wives and families back home. Men’s wedding bands gained importance in the 1950s, following the continuation of that tradition during World War II. Today men have options in metals and designs that fit their lifestyle and look.
