Wedding Ring Sets

Wedding ring sets refer to the rings worn after your wedding day. They include an engagement ring and a wedding band, often designed together to create the perfect fit. Sometimes, a wedding ring set—also known as bridal set rings—can also include an eternity ring, usually given to mark an important milestone like the first wedding anniversary or the birth of a child. It’s usually worn above the engagement ring. 

A wedding and engagement ring set is the ultimate symbol of love and devotion, sealing your commitment to one another. Choose from an array of gorgeous designs that complement each other, making your ring selection as easy and beautiful as your love. 

Choosing a set in white gold offers a breathtaking shine and lustre, especially against the clarity and brilliance of the diamond. Rose gold bridal sets with vintage-inspired flair offer something ornate, while yellow gold bridal sets lined with sparkling diamonds are always a timeless choice. From halo designs to something more simple yet chic, there’s a set for every style.

A wedding band goes on first in a wedding ring set. Your engagement ring comes next, and can be followed by additional rings, like an eternity ring. Wedding band sets are typically worn on the third finger of your left hand, referred to as the ring finger. The wedding band provides a beautiful base for your set, while your engagement ring is the stunning centrepiece.  

How you choose to wear your rings is up to you – some wear them on their right hand, or switch up the order of their rings, some even prefer to wear their ring on a beautiful chain, closer to their heart. 

There’s a wide variety when it comes to wedding ring sets, whether you’re looking for coloured gemstones, pear cuts surrounded by diamonds, or white gold wedding ring sets.

Some enjoy the beauty in matching sets, while others prefer to pick out each individual ring—you simply cannot go wrong with beautiful pieces you love.

An engagement ring is a singular piece of jewellery, given as a promise of love and commitment. A wedding set includes two rings—an engagement ring and a wedding band—designed to complement each other.  

An engagement ring is typically more embellished, with either a diamond or coloured gemstone at its centre. A wedding ring usually fits underneath the engagement ring, and is exchanged during the wedding ceremony.

Where traditionally engagement and wedding rings were chosen separately, in modern times, they are often selected and bought together in bridal ring sets. The engagement and wedding set provides a beautiful look, while making the ring selection journey easier thanks to its complementary aesthetic and perfect fit.

There are three rings in some bridal sets to mark milestones in a relationship. An engagement ring is a symbol of your love and commitment, a wedding band is a sign of your everlasting bond, and an eternity ring is a celebration of your shared journey. An eternity ring is a special gift that marks a significant milestone in your relationship, such as an anniversary or the arrival of your first child. Usually worn alongside the engagement ring and the wedding band, forming a stunning trio of sparkling diamonds.

At Michael Hill, we have a range of beautiful bridal rings to suit any style. Whether you prefer a classic band, a vintage-inspired design, or a modern twist, you can find the perfect ring to express your everlasting love.

To create a bridal ring set that’s totally unique to you, stack up your own! When selecting your wedding band, think about your entire bridal ring set and how you’d ultimately love it to look. That means considering your eternity band, as well as your engagement ring, and how much shape and sparkle you would like to have overall.  

You also don’t need to stop at your traditional three rings – if you’d like to stack on extra sparkle and texture, go for it! 

The simplest rule for creating a cohesive ring stack is to match your metal colour all the way through. Diamonds are the perfect match for every shade of gold, so add as few or as many as you would like. If you’d like a truly unique look, why not mix your metals?  

Experiment with trying on different combinations until you find the one. Browse online for inspiration and try on different styles from home with our Virtual Ring Try-On.  

A bridal set is a smart and beautiful choice for your special day. You don’t have to worry about finding a matching engagement ring and wedding band because they are designed to fit together perfectly. A bridal set also gives you the benefit of saving money, as you can often get a better deal for buying both rings at once.

Traditionally, a bridal stack will consist of three rings: your engagement ring, wedding ring, and eternity ring. However, who’s to say you have to stop there? 

Start with your classic three: while you will generally receive or shop for your engagement, wedding, and eternity rings at separate times to mark new relationship milestones, it’s a good idea to think of the overall look you would like to achieve with your bridal ring stack. This way you can select each band with care, to create your unique and personal look.  

Make it your perfect look: adding an additional band to your bridal ring stack is the perfect way to achieve a look that’s just right. It’s also a lovely way to freshen up your look over time, to match your evolving style. Use this additional band as an opportunity to “add on” to your bridal ring stack – whether you have been dreaming of adding more sparkle, a touch of colour with gemstones, or playing with a unique shape. This is also a great opportunity to perfect your mixed metal look! 

Choose an extra ring for meaning, or just because: while your wedding band is worn from your wedding day onwards, and your eternity band is usually received in celebration of a milestone anniversary, or to welcome your first child – there are so many more relationship milestones to celebrate! It could be buying your first home, travelling together for the first time, your children graduating or moving out, or just something that you and your partner overcome together. Your additional band can be used as a special symbol of any milestone – and of course, you can also add a new one just because.
