If you turn your wedding & engagement ring on its side and look at its band you will see that the band has a shape. The most common types of band shapes are
•   Softly rounded

• High domed

• Flat

Most wedding & engagement rings are made with a soft rounded shape. The soft rounded shape has a gentle curve to the outside of the band. The gentle curve is about half way between a high domed and flat shape.

A flat band has a flat outside surface with flat edges.

A high dome band has a slightly exaggerated rounded shape to it. High domed bands are most often made in narrower widths.

Below the pictures provide examples of the engagement rings with soft rounded, high domed and flat band styles.

Your wedding ring should ideally have the same band shape as your engagement ring. Try to identify the shape of your engagement ring then look for a wedding ring that has the same or a similar band shape.

It is not essential that the band shapes be the same, though the rings will sit better together and look better together if they have the same band shape.

For instance, a high domed band may look a little odd next to a flat style band.
