Curved Bands Are The Engagement And Wedding Ring Trend For A Nontraditional Look

While there are plenty of options for wedding ring stones and settings, there seems to be fewer options for wedding bands. Besides choosing among white gold, yellow gold, or platinum metal, there isn't always much differentiation from one wedding band to another. However, the curved band is one engagement ring trend that changes this by offering a more unique design. A curved band helps ensure your ring looks different from those you typically see. Whether a small wave or a completely curved band, adding movement to your ring provides for a more visually exciting piece.

Although curved bands have become trendy, this isn't exactly a new design. In 2019, model Hailey Bieber sported a curved wedding band stack after marrying singer Justin Bieber (via People). Bieber's curved wedding band from Tiffany & Co. perfectly draws more attention to the piece. Curved wedding bands provide various looks, depending on your preference. From solitaire stones to embedded gems, the curved band is a great twist that adds flair to the typical wedding band or engagement ring.

With a curved wedding band, you can have your gems deep-set, making it appear as if the band is encrusted with diamonds. This sleek and unique design also gives some significant sparkle to thicker and wider bands. It's a timeless look that provides the ultimate sparkle especially when paired with a sparkly engagement ring.

An Art Deco flair is best for those wanting a vintage or retro look for their wedding ring stack. Mimicking the geometric designs of Art Deco architecture, the curved band uses baguette-cut diamonds to give you the ultimate retro wedding band. Vertical diamonds with a curved band are reminiscent of Old Hollywood jewelry that is a perfect addition to your stack.

Kite-cut rings are dramatic yet elegant, making them a showstopping choice for those wanting something with more personality. Kite-cut rings are shaped like a kite, full of peaks and tips, providing plenty of uniqueness. While kite-cut is more sensitive than other cuts, it works best with a curved band, allowing you to fully showcase your kite-cut diamond as it was meant to be displayed.

The curved band allows you to utilize your wedding band as an accompanying piece to a solitaire engagement ring. If your engagement ring features a larger stone, a curved wedding band allows you to surround it with added sparkle without taking any attention away from your showstopping engagement ring.

Although some love a showstopping ring, others want a more understated option. Thankfully, the curved band provides plenty of flair, even with a more minimal design. Reach for a thin, curved band and a smaller stone for a daintier look. A triangle-cut diamond or a sleek baguette cut can add the perfect finishing touch to this minimalist design.

You might select a wedding band that highlights your engagement ring. However, why not maximize your sparkle by opting for a diamond-filled curved band that will underline your engagement ring and offer plenty of glam? Going for diamonds all-around in an eternity style will get you the most out of your ring stack.
