      Are Wedding Bands Supposed To Match?

      Wedding rings and engagement rings are things that you can't half heartedly think about. The exchange of wedding rings is an old tradition that goes back thousands of years. An exchange of rings signifies much more than an investment in your relationship. A circular band on your left ring finger symbolizes unity and commitment. A ring is circular in shape, symbolizing the eternal love between two people. Your wedding rings need to be as unique and special as your relationship. We've had customers ask for matching meteorite wedding bands or complementing tungsten bands. We've also had inquirers for all our wedding band options. But they always have the same common questions. Are wedding bands supposed to match, or can you mix and match them? Should you go down the traditional path with a diamond wedding ring, or can you try your own thing with mismatched wedding bands? Where do you even start? This article will help you decide whether or not to go with matching rings for your wedding band.

      Wedding Traditions: Who Buys The Wedding Band?

      When you get matching rings, you're signifying that you and your partner have become whole. Matching wedding rings are a more traditional option. But really, are wedding bands supposed to match? Well, matching engagement ring styles with a different combination of metals and colored gemstones are feasible options that tons of our customers pick. They wouldn't match 100% under these circumstances, but they'd compliment each other well.


      Whether to get matching wedding rings is up to the style preferences and beliefs of the couple. There isn't a law saying that rings can't have non-matching bands. Wedding jewelry can come in so many different forms and types of bands these days. Different colored metals, minerals, and inlays change the meaning and symbolism of your eternity bands. You can change the significance of your wedding ring based on the options you pick. Do you want a traditional band or a metal band that breaks standard engagement ring trends?


      There are a few benefits when you pick out non-matching wedding bands. You and your partner end up having the ability to express your individualities. Different ring designs and styles can better reflect your individual personality. Cobalt rings, titanium, and yellow gold rings are only a few you can choose from for your modern wedding. If you prefer black rings with a plain band, any jeweler can provide that too. Simple designs and individual styles can have a huge impact on your ideal option.


      The great thing is that your partner can choose a completely different ring. Because of this, issues with deciding on a forever ring likely won't come up. The wedding ring style will be different between engaged couples, and that's fine! If you decide to go with the traditional choice, we have endless options for matching bands!

      Matching Meteorite Wedding Bands

      Matching meteorite wedding bands

      You can get a matching meteorite wedding band if you're looking for a rare and cosmic look. We use Muonionalusta Meteorite and add our secret proprietary darkening agent to make the natural pattern pop out. Our matching meteorite wedding bands come with a fantastic comfort fit. Other couples may settle with a metal band like tungsten, but consider this: How many couples have rocks from outer space around their fingers? How many people do you think have a piece of the cosmos within the palm of their hand?


      An authentic meteorite wedding ring is extremely rare compared to other ring types. It's a popular choice derived from Muonionalusta meteorite slabs. It's one of the toughest and rarest out of all the jewelry types available. With its crystalline pattern and luxurious metal type, we have a lot of people asking about easy maintenance and ownership advice.


      But if you've done your homework about meteorite wedding rings, you probably know that caring for it is more important than other rings. One of the major cons of meteorite rings is the potential for rust due to its iron content. We use a protective resin to prevent that rust but extensive, physical activity or constant hitting will lead to problems. Using WD-40 and ring wax are great ways to extend your ring's appearance. Keep your ring away from harsh chemicals will make your meteorite ring last a lifetime.

      Two Tone Matching Wedding Bands: Additional Options for your Perfect Combination Band

      Three tungsten glow rings

      You don't have to settle with meteorite if you're looking for something unique. You're not restricted to getting the most expensive engagement and wedding ring options. You don't have to stick with a matching pair like we mentioned before.


      A great non-traditional route are two tone wedding bands. These types of rings consist of two different materials or colors in a single band. We sell these individually, but tons of couples are mixing and matching these types of rings. The big upside to many of our two tone wedding bands are the customization options. You could get a different band based on your precious metal preference while still having matching inlays. Our original two tone rings were for men, but they work for both genders. The changes to the width and inlay lead to complementary designs that work for both!


      Our Titanium Glowstone Ring is among our top alternative ring options by a lot of our customers. This ring can have a wide range of daytime colors, glow powders, and inlay materials. Depending on certain combinations, you can get a themed ring at a great price. There are a few inlay materials that you can pick from on our site, but they're not the only ones! Custom requests for exotic materials and colorful crushed opals bring more color options. This hypoallergenic metal works well with most inlay combinations. But you can also choose black ceramic, tungsten, and even Damascus Steel. A final polished finish gives a nice touch of shininess for your ideal band.


      Another popular pick from our collection of wedding bands is our Star Dust™ Ring. It's a cobalt chromium ring that's scratch resistant and highly polished. It's one of our most popular and beautiful wedding bands. We fill the inlay with crushed diamonds, moonstone, blue opal, and meteorite shavings to make it look like an explosion from the cosmos. You'll absolutely love the shine and luster of the glow crystals that we add to the mixture. You might like the idea of having a piece of the cosmos around you finger, but you don't want to pay for a full chunk of it. The Star Dust™ Ring lets you have exactly that without breaking the bank.
