The standard women’s wedding band is a simple, slender ring, generally set in 18k yellow gold, 18k white gold, or platinum. It is elegant and unadorned, and as a result, complementary to just about any engagement ring. Some women, however, don’t believe in “standard” or “ordinary”. Some women are risk-takers, dazzlers, divas, or adventurers. Some women live and breathe color, vivacity, passion, and uniqueness. Some women simply like to put the “extra” in “extraordinary”. If this sounds familiar to you, then a traditional wedding band is just not going to be your style. You deserve a women’s wedding band that is just as fabulous, bold, and chic as you are. From bold colors to striking contrasts to alluring sparkles, Deutsch Fine Jewelry’s guide to unique gemstone wedding bands and diamond wedding bands is here to help you achieve a wedding band grand slam.
A wedding band grand slam: Deutsch’s top picks for dazzling women’s wedding bands
Gemstone wedding bands
Modern brides are increasingly opting for bright, bold, and beautiful engagement rings over traditional diamond rings. Perhaps it is a reflection of the times we live in, where our world has been irrevocably shaped by huge periods spent indoors, often alone, leading to a sense of escapism in design. Vivid colors populate post-2020 trends for interior design, fashion, and jewelry design, with Art Deco-inspired styles featuring gemstones like rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, in particular, enjoying their own little Renaissance in the world of bridal jewelry. 100 years after they hit peak popularity, 1920s geometric engagement rings styles like the target-shaped ring or the color-contrast diamond and gemstone ring have rebounded back to life in the Roaring 2020s. Invoke the glamor and vivacity of the Art Deco period with a daring gemstone wedding band. You can style these gorgeous gemstones in a multitude of ways, too!
Combine your gemstone wedding band with an engagement ring featuring the same colorful gemstone for an eye-catching, cohesive bridal set. For instance, you can pair crimson charmers like the Jye's Ruby Eternity Band by Jye’s International with your ruby engagement ring to create a wedding set just as dazzling and daring as you are. Match your engagement ring’s metal tones to this ruby eternity band’s 18k white gold setting, and let the sensational set of 3.50 ctw channel-set rubies take their place as the star of the show.
If you have a traditional diamond engagement ring, try contrasting the deep jewel tones of your gemstone wedding band against the stark white sparkle of the diamonds. Pairing a gemstone wedding band like Jewelry by Deutsch’s Deutsch Signature Diamond and Sapphire Eternity Band with a classic diamond engagement ring will add depth, color, and a one-of-a-kind spirit of whimsy to your bridal set. Featuring customizable carat weight, diamond quality, metal type, and metal color options, this sapphire wedding band has the ability to be perfectly tailored to your needs. Alternating exquisite baguette-cut sapphires with star-like round diamonds, Jewelry by Deutsch’s gemstone wedding band marries color and contrast effortlessly; the result is a breathtaking wedding band with diamond accents glittering like constellations against the backdrop of a sapphire-blue night sky.
Diamond wedding bands
Still, there’s nothing quite like a classic. Diamond engagement rings and diamond wedding bands did become the standard for bridal sets for a reason, after all! From their world-famous durability and lifelong longevity to their distinctive and inimitable sparkle, diamonds are a girl’s—and a bride’s—best friend. Balancing your elegant diamond engagement ring with an equally sophisticated diamond wedding band allows you to create a timeless set of jewelry that is so classic, so symmetrical, and so beautiful that you can wear it every day for the rest of forever. Plus, it adds a little extra oomph to your daily look that a traditional, plain metal wedding band would lack. For divas that want to dazzle, a diamond wedding band is a must!
Kwiat is a jeweler singularly dedicated to finding the perfect diamond for you. When it comes to their peerless diamond creations, whether it be diamond earrings, diamond necklaces, diamond engagement rings, or diamond wedding bands, that means that each and every Kwiat diamond has been carefully selected, cut, and set with perfection in mind. This is especially true when it comes to Ashoka-cut diamonds, which are exclusive to Kwiat in the US. Ashoka diamonds have 62 precisely aligned facets designed to optimize brilliance; as a result of this one-of-a-kind cut, Ashoka diamonds appear up to 50% larger than emerald-cut diamonds of the same carat weight. The elegant, elongated shape of the Ashoka diamond is accompanied by specially-designed Kwiat settings that emphasize femininity and simplicity so that the diamond gets the attention it deserves. So, to keep the diamonds as the centerpiece in a wedding band in the Kwiat Band Ashoka Diamond Ring, for example, Kwiat pairs east-west, bezel-set Ashoka diamonds with a gloriously breezy and utterly romantic 18k rose gold setting. The delicate rose gold of this Kwiat wedding band balances out the opulence of the 1.50 ctw diamond display. Even greater harmony is achieved by only having the diamonds wrap partway around the rosy surface of the wedding band. Elegant, romantic, and light as air, this diamond wedding band is a masterclass in designing for the modern woman.
Of course, for our queens who want even more sparkle, Kwiat also has the gorgeous Kwiat Ashoka Diamond Shared Prong 7-Stone Partway Band. Like its sister band, this Kwiat wedding band features a partway design, meaning that the back of the ring—where most wearers might complain about irritation from stones and prongs rubbing—is completely clear of diamonds. Despite designing with wearer comfort in mind, Kwiat doesn’t hold back on the glamor of this wedding ring, as the Ashoka diamond row in the front of the ring clocks in at an incredible 3.50 ctw! Set in platinum, the 7-stone Partway Band can be worn as the perfect accompaniment to a diamond engagement ring, or, thanks to its ravishing design, can also be worn solo, with the engagement ring on the other hand.
