His and Hers Wedding Bands with Matching Engravings

Matching wedding bands do not have to be identical. This pair from American Pearl & Diamond pairs a white-gold curved diamond band for her with a 6 mm yellow-gold band with beaded edges for him. What ties them together is inside: the same script engraving, with the same words and the same wedding date, set into both rings.

The finished pair: a curved diamond band and a 6 mm beaded men's band, each engraved inside with the same inscription.

Her band: a curved diamond band

A marquise or pear engagement ring has a pointed tip that a straight band can't sit flush against. The Curved Diamond Wedding Band dips in a soft V so it meets the center stone and sits tight to the engagement ring, with no gap between them. A row of white diamonds runs along the curve, so the two rings read as one set. It starts at $1,550 in 14K gold, and it also comes in 18K gold and platinum.

His band: 6 mm with beaded edges

The 6 mm Bead Men's Wedding Band has a polished, gently domed center and a fine row of beading along each edge. Shown here in 14K yellow gold, it also comes in 10K, 14K or 18K white or rose gold and in platinum, in quarter sizes. At 6 mm it has some presence but is still comfortable to wear every day.

The matching inscription

What makes this a true pair is the engraving. Both bands carry the same flowing script inside: the couple's chosen words and their wedding date. Nobody else sees it, but each partner knows the other wears the same message. You add the inscription when you order each band. Keep it short so the script stays legible inside the band; a name, a date, initials or a short phrase all work well.

Ideas for matching inscriptions

The wedding date on both bands; each partner's name engraved in the other's ring; a short phrase split between the two rings, so the message is only complete when they are together; or coordinates of the place you met or married.

Mixing metals is part of the look

This pair shows that a matching set doesn't need matching metals. Her white gold suits the bright diamonds and the engagement ring, and his yellow gold is warm and classic. The shared inscription is what makes them a set. You can also order both in the same metal.

Frequently Asked

Do his and hers wedding bands have to match?

No. Many couples choose two different styles that suit each of them. A shared detail, such as the same engraving, the same metal or a similar finish, is enough to make them a pair.

The curved band is designed to sit flush against a marquise or pear center stone. If you're unsure about your engagement ring, contact us before ordering and we'll confirm the fit.
