A wedding band is often purchased together and matched with a diamond engagement ring. While diamond engagement rings generally feature one relatively large diamond set high in a solitaire setting, the diamonds in wedding rings are generally much smaller and are set flush with the ring. However, the process for selecting diamond wedding bands is similar to that for diamond engagment rings.

To begin shopping for diamond wedding rings, you need to understand the four Cs of diamond grading: cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. Learning the tradeoffs will be invaluable in guiding you to winnowing out different loose diamonds. For more information, see diamond grading.

Once you have you selected the perfect diamonds that matches your budget and preferences in terms of the four Cs, you next select the jewelry ring setting to mount your diamonds. For more information on different diamond ring settings, see jewelry settings.
