You've already got your wedding and engagement rings, but what if you could refresh your look and celebrate your relationship at the same time? That’s what an anniversary band is for. It’s an additional ring, often designed to complement your original set. Think of it this way: you have a ring that marks the day you got engaged and one that marks the day you said "I do." The anniversary band lets you celebrate all the chapters that came after, marking milestones like your 5th or 10th year anniversary with a brand new piece of jewelry. Getting an anniversary band is a beautiful way to say, “I’d choose you all over again.” It’s a chance for self-expression, for celebrating a new stage of life with a ring that feels fresh and exciting. And hey, it’s a smart choice financially too, since it adds versatility and value to your jewelry collection. It's a piece of your love story that adds to your family heirloom. As a trusted, luxury jeweler, Rare Colors is a great company to get an anniversary band from because we specialize in creating unique, stackable bands that can perfectly complement an existing ring set. We have the expertise to either match your original style or help you create a bold, new contrast.

Yes, you can absolutely use an anniversary band as a wedding band, and it’s a bold and totally modern choice. For a long time, the classic wedding band was a simple, solid metal ring, and a diamond band was something you added later to celebrate a milestone. But today, that’s not the case at all. The name “anniversary band” is just a tradition; the ring’s true purpose is whatever you decide it is. So, instead of thinking of your rings as “wedding band” versus “anniversary band,” think of it as the first ring in your stack. For example, a delicate eternity band can be a stunning and meaningful wedding ring. Down the line, you could add a simple, solid band for an anniversary, or a band with a fancy colored diamond to commemorate a new milestone. This flips the script on tradition, turning your stack into a beautiful, evolving timeline of your life together. Don’t worry about what you’re “supposed” to do. Focus on what you love. Ready to get started? When you work with us, you’re getting more than just a ring–you’re getting a personal and meaningful experience. We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients and are here to help bring your unique stack to life.

Congratulations on your anniversary milestone! That new ring is the perfect way to celebrate it. Now, you get to figure out the best way to wear it. Lucky for you, the old-fashioned “rules” don’t really matter anymore. How you wear your anniversary band with your wedding set is totally up to you. If you love the classic idea of stacking your rings in the order of your love story, you can simply add the anniversary band to your existing bridal stack on your left ring finger. It would go “engagement ring, wedding ring, anniversary ring” to show how your story is a continuous, growing collection, with each ring representing a new chapter. (It’s also super common to see the anniversary band tucked in between the engagement and wedding bands.) If your stack is getting a little too big for comfort, you can choose to wear your anniversary band on its own on your right hand. This lets it be a new, separate milestone that deserves its own attention without changing the look of your bridal set. Ultimately, your rings should tell a story that is uniquely yours, and how you wear them is a part of that. At Rare Colors, we’re not just a jewelry brand—we're a team of people dedicated to making your experience outstanding. We’re here to help you bring your perfect ring arrangement to life.

Yes, men absolutely wear anniversary bands! For a long time, the tradition of adding a new ring to celebrate a milestone was mainly for women, but today, it's becoming an increasingly popular and meaningful trend for anyone. It’s a powerful way to honor all you’ve accomplished together and a chance to add a new, significant piece to his wedding ring. What’s so great about an anniversary band is how it becomes a tangible symbol of your journey together. A wedding band marks the beginning, but an anniversary ring celebrates everything that has come since–the growth, the milestones, and the life you’ve built. It’s also a chance to upgrade his look, whether that means adding a touch of boldness or a subtle new detail to his original ring. When it comes to styles, the options are wide open. A lot of guys love the idea of building a subtle stack by pairing a new band with their original ring. You could choose a band in a different metal, like a sleek platinum or a warm yellow gold, to create a cool, two-tone look. For something bolder, consider a wider band or one with a more striking design. You could even go for a single, perfectly placed diamond–a flush-set or burnish-set, diamond is a great option for a man who wants a subtle touch of brilliance without a traditional channel setting.

So you have a beautiful new anniversary band, and now you’re wondering where it even goes! The answer is…wherever you want it to! The great thing about a modern jewelry collection is that there’s no single right way to wear a ring–it’s all about what feels right to you. Here are a few common ways people wear their anniversary bands: The Classic Stack - The most popular choice is to add the anniversary band to your bridal set on your left ring finger. You can stack it on top of your engagement ring to create a three-ring look or even add it to a different finger to create a new, complementary stack. A Statement on the Other Hand - For a minimalist feel, you can wear the anniversary band on its own on your right hand. This lets it shine as a powerful standalone piece without affecting your original bridal set. It's a great option if the band has a unique design or a stunning fancy colored diamond. Swapping it Out - If you want a fresh new look, you can wear your anniversary band in place of your wedding band. This is a fun way to change up your stack while keeping the same sentimental meaning. You can even wear just the anniversary band on days when you want a simpler, more understated vibe. No matter how you choose to wear yours, the beauty is in the personal choice. Our artisans are experts at creating custom pieces that are perfect for your unique style.
