Both terms are used interchangeably, but “wedding band” often refers to simpler, unembellished metal rings, while “wedding ring” can include more ornate designs with diamonds or gemstones. Functionally, they symbolize the same commitment.

An engagement ring is typically given during a proposal and is often more elaborate. A wedding ring is exchanged during the wedding ceremony and is often simpler. Many people wear both as a matching set after the wedding. Looking for more help? Check out our article on Engagement Ring vs Wedding Ring: Key Differences and Meaning

• Matching metals: Using the same metal (like 18K gold with 18K gold) helps reduce wear and scratching.

• Band shape: Curved bands fit snugly around the engagement ring for a smooth, seamless look.

• Stone harmony: Matching diamonds or gemstones can enhance visual unity between the two rings.

At Pattiring, we offer a matching bridal set collection and a curved band collection that can be custom-shaped to fit your engagement ring perfectly, allowing you to focus on what feels right for you.

In most Western cultures, the wedding band is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand — the “ring finger.” Some cultures place it on the right hand.

Typically, the wedding band is worn closer to the heart, below the engagement ring. But it’s a personal choice, and many stack them differently for comfort or aesthetics.

Women’s bands often feature diamonds, gemstones, or a more delicate design, while Men’s bands are typically wider and simpler — but these are just trends, not rules.

There’s no rule requiring partners to match bands. Some love matching metals, colors, stones, or styles as a symbolic gesture. Others choose completely different bands that suit their taste.

Wedding rings can range from $100 to several thousand dollars. It depends on the material (silver, 10K/14K/18K gold, platinum, etc.), stones (diamond, moissanite, etc.), craftsmanship, and customization. It’s important to balance beauty, durability, and budget — there’s no “right” amount.

Popular options include 14K/18K gold and platinum (most durable). You can also consider palladium, 10K gold, and silver (cheapest but easily scratched). Choose based on durability, color preference, budget, and your daily lifestyle.

Most gold and platinum bands can be resized. However, eternity bands or those with stones all the way around are more difficult or even impossible to resize. Looking for more help? Check out our article on How Much Does It Cost to Resize a Ring?
