Wedding Band Guide — For Her

The band that completes the vow.

From the quietest plain band to a full circle of diamonds — your guide to the silhouettes, metals, and small details that make a wedding band feel exactly right.

A wedding band is the only ring you'll wear every single day. Choose for the everyday — not the photograph.

Six wedding band silhouettes.

Each silhouette tells a slightly different story. There is no "best" — only what feels right alongside your engagement ring, your hand, and your life.

01

Plain Band

The pure essential. A smooth, unembellished band of solid 14K gold. Quiet, timeless, and impossible to outdate.

Best forDetailed engagement rings, minimalist tastes, and active lifestyles.

02

Pavé Band

A continuous line of small diamonds across the face of the band — French for "paved." A road of brilliance, set across the top half.

Best forAdding sparkle to a plain solitaire engagement ring.

03

Eternity Band

Diamonds set continuously around half the band (half-eternity) or the entire circle (full-eternity). A symbol of the unbroken — uninterrupted brilliance, all the way around. Half-eternity offers the look with greater wearability and easier resizing.

Best forAnniversary upgrades, milestone gifts, and those who want the maximum sparkle.

04

Accent Band

A focused gathering of stones at the centre — three, five, or a small cluster — leaving the rest of the band clean. Classic, deliberate, often deeply symbolic.

Best forThree-stone meaning: past, present, future.

05

Curved Band

Shaped to nest seamlessly against your engagement ring, removing any visible gap. A small piece of design problem-solving, beautifully done.

Best forPear, marquise, oval, or low-set engagement rings.

06

Cigar Band

Wide, substantial, confident. Named for its rolled silhouette — a bold modern choice worn alone or stacked.

Best forA statement piece. Or for those who prefer a single ring to two.

Yellow, white, or rose.

Every Stara wedding band is crafted in 14K solid gold. The only rule that matters is matching the metal to your engagement ring — or deliberately mixing, if that's your taste.

Yellow Gold

14K — Classic

The traditional warmth of fine jewellery. Pairs beautifully with warm skin tones.

White Gold

14K — Modern

Cool, platinum-like finish. Pairs cleanly with white diamonds. Re-plated periodically.

Rose Gold

14K — Romantic

Soft pink warmth. Flatters every skin tone and develops a beautiful patina.

Four questions to ask yourself.

Match metals — or mix?

Most match their wedding band to their engagement ring. Mixed metals (rose with white, yellow with white) is increasingly fashionable. Trust your eye.

Will the band sit flush?

Tall solitaires or low-set stones often need a curved band to avoid a visible gap. We'll advise during your consultation.

How much sparkle is right?

Detailed engagement ring? A plain band lets it shine. Simple solitaire? A pavé or eternity band brings beautiful additional brilliance.

Sizing — different from your engagement ring?

Yes, often. Wider bands fit tighter; two rings worn together affect each other. Size your band after your engagement ring is made.

A quiet truth

"There is no rule that says your wedding band must match your engagement ring. The only rule is that you love how it looks."

Platinum & bespoke.

The option of engraving.

A wedding band hides one small place no one else sees — the inside of the band. A wedding date. Initials. Three small words. Coordinates of where you proposed.

Engraving is complimentary on every Stara wedding band. Modern lettering or traditional script — whatever feels right.
