Wedding Rings for Women - Top 5 Styles

The number of styles of wedding rings for women has increased a lot over the last few decades. This isn't to say that the classic wedding band isn't around any longer - it is, and it too has seen an expansion in terms of the number of shapes and sizes that are available. Here are what we consider to be the top 5 styles of wedding rings for women.

5. Carved Band

A popular variation on the classic wedding band style, carved bands can feature a myriad of patterns and motifs carved along the band, adding a touch of artistry without making the ring too showy or inappropriate for everyday wearing. The best styles of carved bands use a simple yet elegant style which distinguishes them ever so slightly from the ordinary. Carved bands are available in a variety of materials, the most popular of which are platinum, white gold, and yellow gold. White and yellow gold combination carving patterns are also common.
4. Three Stone

The three stone style of rings for women takes a concept that was once strictly the domain of engagement rings and scales it down to create a wedding ring that is both wearable and spectacular. The diamonds used in three stone wedding ring styles are usually set in bezels or, in some cases, heavier than usual prongs, in order to provide protection and help reduce the need for maintenance. Rings for women with more than three large stones are also available, but the three stone variety usually offers the best combination of value and style.
3. Eternity

Also commonly used for post-wedding occasions, eternity bands are becoming more popular as wedding ring choices. With their 360-degree diamond settings, eternity bands are uniquely stunning. While a range of eternity band sizes are available, we feel that the .25 and .50 carat types are the most outstanding thanks to their combination of value and comfort.
2. Classic Band

The classic band persists as a popular style among wedding rings for women because of its inherent advantages: cost, comfort, and durability. Nowadays there are so many sizes and styles on the market that every bride is assured of a perfect fit. In terms of materials, as well, although the standards like platinum and white gold still rule, there are all kinds of choices out there. When all else fails, the classic band is sure to provide satisfaction.
1. Pavé Set

Pavé set wedding rings for women represent the ultimate in style and elegance. Pavé set rings are available in varying degrees of extravagance, and some can indeed be surprisingly affordable. As with other styles, pavé set wedding rings tend to be smaller and more wearable than engagement rings, and this has the added benefit of meaning that they're also more affordable. By carefully choosing your diamonds, you can ensure that you get great value along with the one of a kind beauty provided by this type of wedding ring.
