His and Hers, Hers and Hers, His and His: The Matching Ring Sets for You and Your Love

The perfect ring for the perfect partner. Does it exist?

Here at Dracakis, we’re fairly certain it does—and we can help you find it!

Everyone has a unique love story. A series of events punctuated by a hundred different emotions that are exclusively their own. It’s, therefore, a beautiful thing to distil a declaration of everlasting love and commitment into one simple, stunning, unbreakable band that’s as special and as distinct as your bond.

A New Era for Engagement Rings

As society progresses, we’re seeing a welcome shift in socially-perceived norms. Only a couple of decades ago, engagement rings were reserved strictly for women. Gemstones, jewellery, and the like were rarely sold to men.

But times have (thankfully) changed.

There’s been a spike in interest regarding men’s engagement rings. Celebrities like Harry Styles, Brooklyn Beckham, and Justin Bieber have all proudly shown off their bling, and the reception has been incredibly supportive.

Based on current trends, it seems everyone agrees; if engagement rings are meant to be symbols of promise and commitment, why don’t both partners get one?

Matched Sets

The concept of matching or complimentary “His & Hers” sets is definitely not a new one. From sleepwear to loungewear, from dining sets to bathroom essentials, couples, young and old, have long found appeal in their romantic charm.

The new trend in men’s jewellery means this idea can now be applied to wedding and engagement rings as well. Imagine rings with complementing designs–beautiful in their own right and stunning when put together.

So how does one go about finding the perfect pair of engagement rings?

Here’s our advice.

Remember the Difference

An engagement ring is different from a wedding ring. Therefore, you want to make sure there’s a difference in their style, too. One would typically describe wedding rings as classic, elegant, and minimalist. Men and women wear these rings on their wedding day in reciprocal recognition of their vows.

Engagement rings, on the other hand, symbolise intent. Historically, a man gives a woman an engagement ring to let her know he intends to marry her.

This is why engagement rings are typically more intricate and stylised–because they’re explicitly crafted to suit the person they’re for.

Therefore, when picking matching engagement rings, feel free to play around with the styles a little. Classic and tasteful always look timeless, however, don’t let that stop you from trying out unusual, contemporary, and modern designs, too.

Trilogy or Three-Stone Engagement Rings strike a good balance of unusual but tasteful. Coloured diamonds - like the rare Australian Pink Diamond or Canary Yellow Diamonds - can make the ring stand out in a subtle, elegant way.

Suggestions: His & Hers

A lovely match-up for a ‘His & Hers’ engagement ring set would be rings with similar styles and similar stones but different bands. A thicker, wide-set band would suit a masculine frame, while a simple, slender band exudes femininity.

Go With Your Gut

Ultimately, you are the best person to decide what ring suits your significant other. Just as you instinctively knew they were “The One,” you will also instinctively recognise “The Ring” once you see it.

And when it comes to the budget, it’s okay to let practicality rule while still playing with the parameters of creativity. We can help with that.

But as far as the design is concerned, let your heart speak louder than your head.
