Traditionally, a wedding band would be a plain gold ring that didn’t have any decoration on it. The engagement ring would be the more decorative of the jewellery pieces, adding some sparkle, whilst the wedding band would be classy and understated. Many people do still choose an understated plain wedding band and have a bolder engagement ring instead.
However, an increasing number of people are choosing to have a decorative wedding band as well. They may choose a ring that has some diamonds set into it, or they may choose a different colour for gold. This is perhaps so that the ring will go with a silver or rose gold wedding band, or perhaps they might want a wedding ring that is made of platinum. Some people are even having a wedding band that has a stone in it, which isn’t set into the ring. An increasing number of people are also having eternity rings on the same finger.
