Bridal Sets 101: Everything You Need to Know About Bridal Sets

After your engagement, planning a wedding is one of the biggest steps you can take in life. It's an exciting time, filled with hope and romance as you plan out all the details to create the perfect day for saying, "I do." But the most important detail is the wedding band, also known as a wedding ring. How will it look with your engagement ring? In this guide, we'll cover the basics of what a bridal set is, when to buy one, why you should choose a bridal set, and how to choose the best one.

How to Choose the Best Bridal Set

Like standalone engagement rings or wedding bands, bridal sets can be as simple or lavish as you desire. The options are endless, with a variety of ring styles, precious metal types, and diamond combinations. So, what kind of bridal set should you choose?

Before anything, set a budget. Knowing how much you want to spend on a bridal set will help narrow down your options before you start your search. This will give you a clear sense of purpose before making your decision.

Consider your personal style. Just because a bridal set has a unified look, it doesn’t mean you can't find one that matches your own sense of jewelry fashion. Think about the type of diamond shape or cut you'd like, or the metal type or color that would look best with your skin tone. You'll be wearing these rings every day, so it's important to find a bridal set you'll love.

Think about your daily activities. If you're an active person or work with your hands, you might want to choose a bridal set with a smaller profile or more subdued style. If you work at a desk job, something larger might not be as much of an issue. Whatever your lifestyle or ring preference, it's always a good idea to think about what you'll be doing with your hands after you put on the rings.
