3 Reasons To Wear A Wedding Ring By Itself Vs. A Bridal Set

by Barry Graves

As you might know, many people wear an engagement ring and a wedding ring together on the same finger. You don't actually have to wear two rings at one time if you don't want to, though. In fact, you might find that wearing just a wedding ring is actually a better choice. These are a few reasons to wear a wedding ring by itself instead of wearing a bridal set.

1. Keep Costs Down

When you take a look at bridal sets, you will typically find that the engagement ring is the most expensive part. It might cost thousands of dollars to buy a nice engagement ring, but you can buy a nice wedding band for a much lower price if you want to. If you and your spouse are hoping to keep costs down on your ring set, going with a wedding band only is a very budget-friendly option. Of course, wedding band prices can vary from very cheap to very expensive. 

2. Enjoy a More Simple Look

Some people love the look of wearing flashy jewelry each day, but a lot of people prefer a more simple look. If you fall into the latter camp, you can skip the engagement ring altogether. You can choose a wedding band that has a few diamonds or that has engraving on it. This allows you to enjoy a little bit of style without wearing a ring that is too flashy. Alternatively, if you want to keep things truly simple, you can opt for a simple gold or silver wedding band. You can also choose from different thicknesses; a very thin band can help you enjoy the more simple look that you are hoping for.

3. Put More of a Focus on the Wedding Band

When you wear a wedding band with an engagement ring, you can expect for the engagement ring to steal the show. Some people like this, but you might want to put more of your focus on the wedding band itself. By wearing a wedding band alone, you can help draw attention to it. You might find that you like the way that it looks by itself and that wearing an engagement ring simply is not necessary.

Although it might be the more traditional option, you don't have to wear two rings on your ring finger just to show the world that you are married. Instead, you might want to just wear a wedding band for the three reasons above and more.
