Coordinated engagement ring and wedding band sets make for a beautiful, seamless pair while showcasing your commitment. Worn together, the perfect bridal ring set symbolizes a love that lasts forever.
Traditionally, you would only present an engagement ring when proposing. A wedding ring is exchanged during the wedding ceremony to complete the bridal set and symbolize your union with your partner. When you place the two rings on the same finger, it creates the iconic two-ring stack.
Occasionally you will see an intentionally two-tone set using gold and another metal like sterling silver or platinum. There are other ways to make your rings stand out, such as using an emerald or princess-cut diamond. If you are looking for unique engagement rings, this may be the perfect jewelry option for you.
How to Propose With a Bridal Set?
Wedding ring sets offer a convenient way to source both rings together and save some money. You can simply offer the engagement ring at the time of the proposal and hold back on giving the wedding band for the big day. They will appreciate how thoughtful you were by choosing a style that fits perfectly together.
Are Wedding Ring Sets Worth It?
Bridal sets, also called wedding ring sets, are often the best value for their price. Compared to purchasing an engagement and wedding ring separately, buying the engagement ring and wedding ring set saves money because you buy two or more rings together.
In addition, when you purchase two perfectly paired rings together, it will save you time. When you shop for wedding ring sets, you don't have to worry about finding a wedding band that will fit with the engagement ring. In these pre-designed bridal sets, they already fit seamlessly together. Wedding ring sets help you ensure that the metal color matches perfectly also.
What Do Bridal Sets Include?
Bridal sets are a combination of two or three rings that represent a couple's marital union. Most commonly, they include engagement and wedding rings. The rings fit together, both stylistically and physically– representing the "perfect fit" created by the couple's marriage.
Occasionally there are three-ring bridal sets. The three rings represent three different aspects of a couple's marriage union.
First, the engagement ring represents the commitment and promise made to get married. Second, the wedding ring represents the actual marriage union on the couple's wedding day. Third, the specialty ring represents a milestone down the road in the couple's future—for example, an anniversary or the birth of a child. Combined, the three rings are a reminder of the past, present, and future of the couple's life and love together.
What Does a Bridal Set Mean?
The most common and traditional meaning of bridal sets is an expression of undying love and commitment. Together, they represent the union of two in marriage.
You may choose to have just one ring that symbolizes both engagement and marriage. Whatever your choice, the most important part is what your ring or set of rings means to you!
What is a Bridal Set vs. Engagement Ring?
An engagement ring is a ring used in a marriage proposal. It's known as the "sparkler," and ours usually (but not always) contains one or more large lab created diamonds.
A wedding ring is a band exchanged during the wedding ceremony. The two rings together are known as a bridal set, meant to be a perfect match and look like a single personalized jewelry piece.
Which Ring Is the Engagement Ring in a Bridal Set?
Wedding ring sets contain both rings. You can tell which is the engagement ring because it typically features a diamond or other gemstones such as emerald, sapphire, or aquamarine. Popular styles may feature multi stone designs. The wedding band is typically a simple yellow-gold band but may be more ornate in styles that feature small diamond details.
Can You Wear a Bridal Set as an Engagement Ring?
One can wear their set however they please! Tradition would dictate that the wedding ring set be worn in its entirety only after the big day, with engagement rings only until then. You can choose how you would like to present your rings.
Should I Buy an Engagement Ring or Bridal Set?
This depends on the style of the person wearing the ring. Some prefer the classic stack featuring yellow gold and a center stone diamond. Some may prefer to create their own stack with more modern materials like rose gold or mixed metals and choose alternative diamond shapes like marquise, oval, or cushion.
Just remember that buying both rings at the same time will save you time and money. If your partner is particular about their jewelry, you may want to include them in the shopping process. Couples frequently go shopping together nowadays.
