Matching Wedding Bands for Couples: How to Choose His and Hers Rings

Updated November 2026

Short answer: the easiest way to get matching wedding bands is a ring set: two rings in the same design, usually 6mm for her and 8mm for him, with a separate size for each. You can also order one design in two widths, match by color or inlay instead of design, or add matching engraving inside. Each ring includes free text engraving.

Two ways to buy matching bands

Choosing two widths

Most couples don't wear the same width. A wider band suits a larger hand, and a slimmer band suits a smaller one, so matching sets usually pair two widths in one design. Here are the most popular combinations, drawn to scale:

Band widths drawn to scale. 68% of our customers choose 8mm for a men's band, and 18% choose 6mm.

Not sure which widths suit you? Our width guide compares every width from 2mm to 12mm.

Ways to match

A popular choice is the same design in two colors, such as a black band for him and a rose gold band for her.

Matching engraving ideas

Engraving is the most personal way to match. Split one message across both rings, engrave the same date in each, or add each other's fingerprint.

Text engraving is free on each ring, up to 30 characters.

For more ideas and how engraving works, see our guide to personalized engraved rings.

Getting both sizes right

Each of you needs your own size, measured the same way. Tungsten carbide and ceramic can't be resized, so measure both of you before you order, ideally with our $4.99 ring sizer. Remember that a wider band fits tighter, so the partner with the wider ring should follow the width rule in our Ring Sizing guide.

Frequently asked questions

Do wedding bands have to match?

No. Plenty of couples wear completely different rings. Matching is simply one way to show you belong together, and you can match as much or as little as you like: the same design, the same color, a shared inlay or just a matching engraving.

Can matching rings be different widths?

Yes, and most are. Our ring sets pair a 6mm band with an 8mm band, and many designs come in several widths so you can choose your own pair, such as 4mm and 8mm.

Can we choose different sizes in a set?

Yes. Each ring in a set has its own size option, so you choose her size and his size separately.

Is engraving free on both rings?

Yes. Text and symbol engraving of up to 30 characters is free on every ring, inside or outside. Fingerprint, handwriting and image engraving costs $20 per ring.

What if one ring doesn't fit?

Rings that haven't been engraved or customized can be exchanged under our refund policy. Use our Ring Sizing guide or $4.99 ring sizer for both of you before you order.
