Here at R&M, our goal is to honor your love story with wedding bands that celebrate its unique beauty. That uniqueness stems from two people’s independent tales becoming one adventure. Showcasing that arc in a ring set is truly thrilling, and over the years we’ve discovered some gorgeous ways of crafting those epics into cherished jewelry pieces.
We’ll go through three ways you can keep the same design language in your wedding ring set, or even more exciting, you may be inspired to design a custom ring set that’s truly all your own.
Idea 1: Accent Unique Matching Wedding Bands with Gold Flakes
One unique way to unify your wedding rings without having them perfectly match is to choose a set of wedding bands accented with gold flakes. Then, each spouse selects a unique inlay material to add a touch of their personality. This works especially well for people drawn to celestial jewelry since the gold flakes emulate a night sky in a subtle way.
Below are two examples of coordinating wedding ring sets we love for their ethereal elegance and how the rings clearly go together without being carbon copies of one another.
The Stargazer & Starry Night
The Stargazer & The ErinnCustomers can also design custom wedding ring sets that feature silver or gold flakes! Explore our in-house materials that shine best with gold flakes on our online ring customizer.
Below are a few examples of R&M custom wedding rings that feature metal flakes (including a few examples of metal flakes from customer-provided items).

Idea 2: Carry One Inlay from His Wedding Band Into a Single-Inlay Wedding Band for Hers
Since her wedding band usually stacks with an engagement ring, we often see women prefer single-inlay wedding bands over the chunkier multiple-inlay wedding bands men tend to gravitate towards. This can make for a lovely way to create a not-too-matchy-matching set by sharing one inlay material between both bands.
Below are a few examples of some of our ring sets that highlight this design format. If you love western jewelry, you may particularly resonate with a couple of these sets.

The Reeves & Phoenix
The Frontiersman & HelenWe have seen some stunning custom wedding ring sets match in this beautiful way! Below are a couple of examples of this direction.
Idea 3: Unite Your Wedding Bands on Materials but Differentiate with Inlay Style
Another way to celebrate the path you’ve forged together is to use the same materials but showcase your different styles with your own inlay layouts. Matching the materials showcases a relationship that’s built on similarities, while the distinct inlay layouts highlight your unique personalities.
Our team selected a few examples that showcase these beautifully, with sets that celebrate nature and simplicity, dazzling coastal beauty, and striking color for the mavericks at heart.

FAQ About Creating a Matching Wedding Band Set That Aren’t Perfect Twins
In a his-and-hers wedding band set, do the rings have to match?
Not at all! Your wedding band set celebrates your love, and the best part is that you each get a say in what that looks like. You may want to consider your spouse-to-be’s preferences, but as long as you both are on board, you can have rings that look exactly the same or completely different. We’ve seen it all, and trust us, the full spectrum is full of lovely wedding band sets.
Do the wedding band sets have to have matching base metals?
Definitely not. While some couples like their wedding bands’ base metals to match, others prefer different ones.
Sometimes, it’s for practical reasons, like one spouse has a very hands-on job, so they go with a more resilient metal like titanium, or simply that different metal colors suit different skin tones better.
Other times, couples enjoy switching up the base metals for a symbolic reason, like celebrating the differences they love about each other.
Can you design a custom his-and-hers wedding band set at Rustic & Main?
Absolutely! Crafting custom wedding ring sets is one of my favorite things to do. If you would like a little inspiration, you can explore our custom work in our ring inspo gallery.
