Bridal & Wedding Ring Sets: Buying Guide

Traditionally, buying wedding jewellery was all about finding the perfect engagement ring, with the wedding bands viewed as a minor consideration. Today, it's common for both rings to be viewed as equally important investments in your future together. Bridal sets combine an engagement ring with a matching wedding band, creating a two-ring set that has a unique, harmonious look.

Purchasing a bridal set offers several advantages over buying an engagement ring and wedding band separately. First, it makes it easier to match the engagement ring to the wedding band. It's also a great way to give your partner two unique, special rings to wear on the same finger.

From matching to complementary sets, modern bridal sets come in a range of different designs and types. Below, we'll walk you through:

  2. The difference between a bridal set and a wedding set.

  3. What to consider when buying a bridal set.

  4. The most common bridal set purchasing mistakes.

A wedding set consists of an engagement ring and matching wedding band for the bride, as well as a matching wedding band for the groom. Buying a wedding set means that all three rings are taken care of at once, helping you save money and time when you're preparing to get married.
