Do you choose from bridal sets or a solitaire engagement ring to go with a wedding band? When shopping for an engagement ring it is important to also give some consideration to the wedding bands. The engagement bands you select could limit your future wedding ring options. Therefore, it is important to consider both with the initial purchase.

Bridal Sets

The least complicated way to go about this is to purchase a bridal set. Bridal sets is a set of rings (wedding band and engagement ring) that are designed to match each other. This can be the easiest solution, but requires an investment in both rings at once. Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers carries a wide selection of bridal sets.

Solitaire Ring

Another option is a solitaire engagement ring with a simple band.  Wedding bands that stack or wrap can be chosen at a later date.  It is best to see how the ring looks with different style wedding bands to make certain that you keep your options as open as possible for later selection.

Switching Hands

If a bridal set is not desired and the engagement ring style is elaborate, many brides may simply choose to wear a band on their left hand and move the engagement ring to their right.  This can also be a simpler option since it leaves the engagement ring open to any style or design.
