Wedding Rings

Diamond wedding bands allow the jeweler (or wearer) to be creative on a small canvas. These rings can be subdued or substantial, but the common denominator usually is several small diamonds rather than one large one. A "Princess Band"- a row of princess-cut diamonds in a channel setting - is perhaps the most traditional look for a diamond wedding band. Baguettes also look well in such a setting. A stylish alternative is a three-channel band, with a row of sapphires, emeralds, or rubies - sapphires are currently very fashionable - flanked by rows of small diamonds above and below.

Diamonds also lend themselves to more creative, unconventional wedding ring treatments. They'll work well with many modern designs, as well as with fanciful ideas such as Celtic knots, or various other motifs that evoke mythological connections.Some of these ideas will allow for the use of a larger solitaire. Many brides also continue to wear the traditional three-stone anniversary ring as a wedding band.
