Behind the Loupe: What are Ring Enhancers?

What are Ring Enhancers? The Complete Guide to the Bridal Trend

Whether you are dreaming of how to complete your bridal look or celebrating a milestone anniversary with an upgraded engagement ring stack, ring enhancers provide a wide array of sparkling details for your most important piece of jewelry.

Ring enhancers provide endlessly creative ways to celebrate your marriage bond with a variety of silhouettes, colors and sizes available. Read on for my top tips for choosing the right ring enhancer for you.

What is a Ring Enhancer?

Modern brides love the look of these enhancers to boost the look of the stack on their ring finger. Used as a wedding or anniversary band, ring enhancers can add elaborate designs or lots of sparkle. Other designs are more subdued, but still celebrate your unique love in style.

Styles of Ring Enhancers

Two major categories separate ring enhancers: contour bands and ring guards. Both categories come in a wide array of styles and colors, from gold to platinum and rose gold engagement bands.

Contour Band

Contour bands are designed with an elegant curve or a notch that incorporates and highlights your engagement ring setting.

A contour band embellishes the wedding ring stack by adding another band to your set. If you are celebrating your 10th anniversary, a sparkling diamond contour band will mark the occasion beautifully.

Contour bands vary in style, with designs that appeal to any bride. Delicate contour bands are a popular choice and give your ring stack room to grow. Brides with a connection to Celtic jewelry or make a statement with a beautiful three-stone diamond ring style.

Ring Guard

Speaking of making a statement! Ring guards turn heads with their unique, wraparound design. Ring guards amplify the beauty of the center stone or setting of your engagement ring. Many brides choose a ring guard instead of a wedding band for a high-impact ring stack.

Benefits of Ring Enhancers

Of course the first and most important benefit of ring enhancers is the beautiful symbolism they bring to your ring finger. However, ring enhancers also carry practical benefits.

Ring enhancers help protect and stabilize your engagement ring, especially if you have a solitaire setting or a large stone. Having a band designed to wrap around these precious gems will give the bride some piece of mind.
