1. Suzanne Kalan 18K Yellow Gold Way Wave Ring

The undulating profile looks unpredictable but will actually stack beautifully with a solitaire of any size.

2. Anna Sheffield Chevron Bea Band in Yellow Gold & Grey Diamonds

No one does a bridal stack quite like Anna Sheffield, but you don’t have to shell out four figures to get her look. This reasonable band is studded with nearly one carat of moody gray diamonds.

3. Selin Kent Leia Ring

Just because you’re looking for an original ring doesn’t mean it has to be over-the-top intricate or so trendy that it will be uncool in two years. Simply look for details that feel intrinsically you, like a teeny chevron pattern.

BUY IT ($1,480)

4. Anna Sheffield Triple Baguette Tiara Band in White Gold & White Diamonds

Why not give your engagement ring a bona fide crown of diamond baguettes?

BUY IT ($2,600)

BUY IT ($1,000)

6. Material Good Multi-Shape Diamond Band

With a mélange of stone cuts, this band makes a statement on its own. But it also plays well with whatever stack you throw it in.

The inset stones can be customized in this Reinstein Ross ring—and we love the idea of selecting your partner’s birthstone.

Technically a stack—featuring two baguette infinity bands measuring 1.44 carats and an enamel band—this Foundrae set says it all. Literally. It actually reads, “This and my heart I give.” Swoon.

BUY IT ($7,285)

18. Sophie Ratner Slim Diamond Band

A teeny infinity band is sweet. But if you’re looking for something just a step above, the beaded edges add extra texture to this Sophie Ratner ring.

BUY IT ($980)

19. Luisa Alexander 18K Yellow Gold and Amethyst Interlocked Hearts Band

We’re suckers for any jewelry that comes with an “awwwww” reaction, like these heart-shaped amethysts. The whopping 5.8 carats of lavender sparkle set in 18K white gold will also pop alongside any diamond cut.

BUY IT ($3,500)

20. Stone and Strand Tri-Starburst Diamond Ring

Gypsy bands, which are part of the current antique-inspired jewelry trend, are a great option if you love the bold look of a lot of gold. If you have a chubbier engagement ring, this starburst-adorned style is a fitting accent piece.

21. Brent Neale Rainbow Wide Eternity Band

For rainbow lovers who prefer soft shades (or simply adore pink tourmaline, blue topaz, citrine, peridot and amethyst), this wide eternity band is a total dream.

22. Established Jewelry Checker Band

An architectural detail (or, more accurately, a game board–inspired one) is a stylish way to tailor your interests to the band you use to solidify your vows.

BUY IT ($825)

23. Sorellina Otto Single Row Band

Marrying a traditional design with a unique touch, a beveled edge is a good way to go. The 0.39 carat stripe of white diamonds doesn’t hurt, either.

BUY IT ($1,650)

24. John Hardy Classic Chain Hammered Band Ring

Upon first glance, this might look like a boring classic band. But the hammered detail on the sterling silver adds just enough texture to make it stand out from the pack. Plus, it’s a low-key way to add a ’70s detail to your bridal stack.

BUY IT ($195)

25. David Yurman DY Lanai Pavé Wedding Band

An interwoven band can be rife with symbolism if you’d like. (You’re the diamond band; your partner is the solid one.) Or it can just be a really pretty accent to your oval-cut sparkler.

BUY IT ($1,650)

26. Ofira Tattoo 18-Karat White Gold Diamond Ring

The sharp angles of this bauble will nestle particularly well with sharp cuts, like a kite-shaped diamond.

BUY IT ($3,400)

27. Wwake Tonal Four-Step Ring

If a traditional infinity band isn’t your style, try this more relaxed take from Wwake featuring a trail of four pale sapphires. The moody stones will best complement gray diamonds or even an opal.

BUY IT ($581)

28. Retrouvaí Magna Ring With Square-Cut Diamonds

There’s something about square-cut diamonds that feels delightfully vintage-inspired, like a relic passed down from your grandma but modernized for you. That feels particularly true of the 0.58 carat of stunners channel set in Retrouvai’s split band.

BUY IT ($4,005)

29. Polly Wales Lexi Halo Half Eternity Band with Tapered Baguettes

Polly Wales is best known for her unconventional setting techniques that make even the fanciest of stones feel like they can be worn every day. Just check out how casual these five tapered baguettes (measuring 0.34 carat) look in this band.

Who says your something blue has to be only for your wedding day? This enamel ring can serve as the sweetest daily reminder of the day you said “I do.”

BUY IT ($390)

31. Zales Diamond Scattered Anniversary Band

A zigzag of diamonds set in white gold sounds luxe—and super expensive. Luckily, this piece is only $314, so you can splurge a little more on your wedding shoes.

BUY IT ($314)

32. Kwiat Moonlight Three-Row Diamond Crossover Band

If you’re trying to achieve maximum bling without XL stones, the 3.4 carats of pavé diamonds set in this tri-layered number from Kwiat is a brilliant option.

BUY IT ($10,100)

33. Ashley Zhang Seed Pearl and Diamond Ring

One good reason to consider a band that isn’t set with stones all the way around (à la infinity style)? It’s much easier to resize a ring when you don’t have to move diamonds...or pearls...or any other gemstone.

BUY IT ($875)

34. Erstwhile Golden Twisted Band

We’ve never seen pavé stones set on the bias like they are in this Erstwhile design. The wrapped vine-like design is bound to garner endless compliments (not to mention plenty of copycats).

BUY IT ($2,990)

35. Tiffany & Co. Nesting Narrow Band Ring

Classic with a twist, this medium-width band isn’t too out-there but will still bring a flash of gold to your everyday life. (It’s also subtle enough to wear to even a yoga class.)
