Oval Engagement Ring With Wedding Band (2024)

Curved Bands

When you think of a wedding ring, you may think of the classic straight polished band. However, many engagement rings aren’t designed for a straight band to sit perfectly flush next to them.

Instead, opt for a curved, contoured wedding band that is specifically designed to fit snugly against the curves of the oval centre stone. This allows your wedding ring to sit flush against your engagement ring as a perfect match.

Chevron Bands

If you’re not looking for a perfectly flush look, consider a chevron or ‘V’ shaped band–also sometimes known as a wishbone band. As their name suggests, these bands go one step further than a curved design and have an inverted V shape where two strands of metal meet at a point.

While these often don’t sit exactly flush against engagement ring designs, no matter the stone shape, they’re a contemporary take on a classic, perfect to be worn stacked against your most sentimental jewellery.

The oval solitaire engagement ring is a coveted choice, popular with our customers and A-listers alike. The likes of Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson & Hailey Bieber all wear oval diamond solitaire rings to symbolise their engagement. This timeless style has gained significant popularity in recent times due to its combination of a contemporary oval cut and a traditional solitaire setting.

When it comes to selecting a wedding band for this engagement ring style, there’s a wide range of options available to create a cohesive and stunning bridal set. Classic solitaire settings pair well with both rounded or flat profile bands, as well as diamond-accented bands such as infinity, twisted or cluster bands. All of these choices beautifully complement the simplicity of the solitaire design depending on your personal style.

For those seeking a band with a slightly different silhouette, options like a signature V or chevron band can add a touch of modernity and visual interest to the overall look. These bands create a contemporary contrast while still maintaining the elegance of the oval solitaire engagement ring.

To complement the unique charm of a vintage oval engagement ring, there are several wedding ring styles to be considered. Synonymous with filigree details, engraving, milgrain edges and geometric lines, vintage jewellery design is perhaps the most evocative of all.

Opt for a classic polished band to let the engagement ring design sit centre stage or match the intricate details seen in your engagement ring design. Explore bands inspired by the Art Deco era, characterised by geometric lines and patterns, baguette diamonds or step-cut coloured gemstones. These bolder design elements can pair perfectly with an antique-inspired engagement ring and can even be worn alone as a statement piece.

Match oval engagement rings with wedding bands by colour

Matching wedding bands to engagement rings is often primarily led by the metal of the engagement ring. In most cases, people opt to have both rings in the same metal to sit harmoniously on the finger together. But as always, the choice is yours. Gone are the days of uniformity–mixing and matching is here to stay. Be it tableware, fabric patterns or metal tones–wearing clashing metal tones is the perfect way to express your personal style.

Platinum oval engagement rings and wedding bands

Platinum’s exceptional lustre and durability make it the perfect choice for showcasing the beauty of oval-cut diamonds. With its brilliant white hue, platinum serves as an ideal background to enhance the sparkle of diamonds, enhancing their brilliance and creating a captivating display.

Platinum’s strength and durability ensure that your oval engagement ring and wedding band will withstand the test of time, symbolising the enduring love and commitment of your relationship. Whether adorned with delicate diamond accents or kept simple and understated in its polished form, platinum oval engagement rings and platinum wedding bands radiate timeless sophistication.

Yellow gold, with its rich tones, brings together old school charm with a touch of warmth. Yellow gold engagement rings and yellow gold wedding bands saw a slump in the 1990s, with many opting for the cool, brightness of white metals. However, yellow gold has since made a mighty return with around a third of the rings we create being crafted in this glorious metal.

The combination of the oval-shaped centre stone and the warm hue of yellow gold creates a pretty iconic look–it’s almost exactly what you imagine when you think of an engagement ring. Whether you opt for a simple and understated design or one adorned with intricacies and fine details, a yellow gold oval engagement ring or wedding band will always look enchanting.

The bright and lustrous appearance of white gold beautifully complements the elegance of an oval-shaped diamond engagement ring. When committing to a white gold engagement ring and white gold wedding band stack, consider designs with sculptural forms and clean lines to strike a harmonious balance between modernity and tradition.

The combination of white gold and the oval shape does create a stunning contrast and captures a sense of sophistication. While white gold results in a very similar look to platinum, we’d always recommend choosing platinum instead of white gold, unless you have a strong preference.

The reason for this is because white gold requires life-long maintenance. Every two to three years, white gold needs to be replated with rhodium which costs around £100. Over a lifetime, this can add up to be more than you’d have originally saved by choosing white gold over platinum. Conversely, platinum requires no long-term maintenance–a simple clean and buff every once in a while will keep it looking good as new provided it’s well taken care of.
