The terms wedding ring and wedding band are often used interchangeably, but they can refer to slightly different types of rings. Wedding rings typically feature diamonds or other gems, whereas wedding bands are sometimes unadorned.

Wearing two wedding bands is a new trend that's become popular for people who like the visual balance of having a wedding band on either side of their wedding set.

Modern couples are crafting their own unique traditions when it comes to selecting the groom's wedding ring.

While historically, this important symbol of commitment was chosen and paid for by the bride, now it is just as common for both partners to be involved in the decision-making process - even sharing costs if they choose. At its core, picking a wedding band should come down to personal preference that honours each person’s contribution within an enduring relationship.
