Alternative Wedding Bands for the Modern Bride

  |   By Erin Ryley

If you and your fellow have recently gotten engaged, you’re probably on the hunt for the perfect wedding band to accent your new ring-finger bling (if you didn’t already do so pre-proposal!). And with an abundance of interesting shapes, cuts, colours, and settings, there’s no need to settle for a traditional wedding band. The trick is to pick a band that will highlight your engagement ring without overpowering it. For example, if you received a diamond that runs on the smaller size, consider a blinged-out wedding band surrounded by diamonds to accent your solitaire. If your engagement ring already has a significant amount of sparkle, opt for a wedding band with simple yet chic embellishments. Think about mixing metals and textures as well -- who says you can't pair a traditional yellow gold engagement ring with a hammered rose gold band? Regardless of the style of wedding band you end up with, the memories you and your partner make once you slip it on will last a lifetime. We’ve searched high and low for the most interesting bands out there to help you select a flawless match for your engagement ring. Flip through our top 15 favourite alternative wedding bands that range from super minimalist to in-your-face glam for the ideal updated take on tradition.
