From LoveToKnow EngagementRings

Bridal set engagement rings can be lovely, coordinated pieces of jewelry if they are carefully chosen for the bride-to-be, and looking at pictures of bridal sets can help couples see the many different designs available.

Variations of Bridal Sets

A bridal set is more than just a matching engagement ring and wedding band. There are many basic types of sets, including:

  • Parallel Sets: These coordinated sets can be worn singly or together, and the bands are not warped or curved but instead rest next to one another naturally with classic elegance.
  • Wraps and Guards: More intricate bridal sets often combine the engagement ring with a diamond ring wrap or guard that surrounds it and completes the set. The downside is that the wedding band cannot usually be worn separately from the engagement ring.
  • Enhancer Sets: Similar to wraps and guards, these sets are a bit simpler but still include an integrated pair of rings with a wedding band that cannot usually be worn alone.
  • Plain Sets: These classic bridal sets include a traditional engagement ring paired with a plain wedding band with few, if any, gemstone accents. These can be guard or wrap sets but are more often found as parallel designs.
  • Trio Sets: Three rings make up a trio bridal set: the bride’s engagement and wedding band as well as the groom’s matching wedding band. Many couples choose these sets because they like the coordination of his and hers rings.
  • Custom Sets: A couple that chooses a unique engagement ring may opt for a custom bridal set by creating a custom wedding ring for the unusual engagement ring.

More Customization Options

In addition to the different types of bridal sets, there are many ways a couple could personalize this type of engagement ring to suit their budget, style, and preferences. Options include:

  • Metals: Bridal sets can be found in all the different precious metals as well as two tone or multi-tone designs for a stunning contrast between the rings.
  • Number of Stones: Some bridal sets use only the central engagement ring diamond with very few accents, while others coordinate multiple stones on both the engagement ring and the wedding band.
  • Total Carat Weight: Depending on the number of stones used in the design, the total carat weight can vary substantially.
  • Gemstones: Adding semi-precious gemstones to the ring design adds a burst of color and distinction to the bridal set.
  • Diamond Shapes: The most popular diamond shapes for bridal sets are round, marquise, and princess, but any diamond shape can be used for a lovely coordinated set.
  • Ring Width: Narrow bands can create a delicate bridal set, while thicker bands can be a bolder option.
