HOW TO PAIR YOUR RUBOVER ENGAGEMENT RING

If you’ve chosen a rubover engagement ring, you already know the charm of this sleek and timeless setting. With its smooth metal edging that secures the gemstone in place, a rubover ring (also called a bezel setting) is loved for its modern look, durability, and comfort. But when it comes to styling your engagement ring with other jewellery, the question often arises: what should I pair it with?

Here’s our guide to making your rubover engagement ring shine!

Pairing with Your Wedding Band

Your wedding ring is the piece that will sit side by side with your rubover engagement ring every day—so it’s worth finding the perfect match.

Classic Fit Bands: A slim gold or platinum wedding band keeps the look understated and timeless, letting your rubover stone remain the star of the show.
Shaped or Curved Bands: If your rubover setting has a slightly lower profile, a curved or contoured band will nestle perfectly against it for a seamless fit.
Diamond Bands: Add extra sparkle with a pavé or channel-set diamond band. The contrast of tiny diamonds against the bold rubover setting creates a beautiful balance of elegance and strength.

Tip: Try stacking your wedding band first in-store alongside your engagement ring so you can see how they sit together from every angle.

Stacking for a Modern Look

One of the joys of the rubover design is its versatility. Its clean silhouette makes it a great base for ring stacking.

Mixed Metals: Pair a yellow gold rubover engagement ring with slim white gold or rose gold bands for a fresh, contemporary contrast.
Textured Bands: Add interest with hammered, engraved, or twisted rings that highlight the smooth lines of the rubover.
Coloured Gemstone Stacks: Think emerald, sapphire, or ruby accents. A pop of colour alongside your engagement ring adds personality while keeping things chic.

Lifestyle Considerations

Rubover rings are perfect for those with active lifestyles; they’re secure, comfortable, and resistant to snags. When pairing your ring, think about how your jewellery will feel in daily wear. Slimmer bands and low-profile stacks are both stylish and practical, especially if you’re on the go.

Pairing your rubover engagement ring is all about balance: letting the smooth, contemporary setting shine while adding touches that reflect your personal style.
