That’s where his her engagement rings come in, matching sets designed so both partners wear a piece that reflects the same commitment, without either ring looking like an afterthought. If you’re searching for a pair that feels considered rather than coincidental, you’re in the right place.

This guide answers exactly what you’re after: real matching wedding ring sets UK shoppers can actually buy, with honest price ranges and styles that work whether you want subtle coordination or rings that are obviously a set. We’ve drawn on what we see couples choose in our Hatton Garden workshop, from classic solitaires paired with sleek bands to bolder designs with matching stones.

Below, we’ve picked seven of the best engagement rings for women and men’s engagement rings to buy together, covering natural and lab-grown diamond options, different budgets, and settings that suit various hand shapes and styles. Whether you’re planning a joint proposal or simply want your rings to match once you’re both wearing them, you’ll find a style here worth considering.

1. A Star Diamonds bespoke his and hers rings

When you want a set that’s actually designed around your relationship rather than pulled off a shelf, bespoke his and hers rings from A Star Diamonds are worth starting your search with. Our Hatton Garden goldsmiths, designers, and gemologists sit down with both of you, or with one partner planning a surprise, to sketch a pair that shares a common thread: a matching setting style, a repeated motif, or stones cut from the same rough diamond. It’s the option we’d point most couples toward if they want their rings to genuinely tell one story.

Design and style

Every pair starts as a bespoke ring design, so there’s no catalogue limiting what you can ask for. Popular requests include a solitaire for her paired with a diamond-set band for him, or two simple bands that share the same subtle detailing along the edge. Because you’re working directly with our team through our bespoke ring service, you can adjust proportions, metal finish, and stone placement until both rings feel like they belong together.

Materials and durability

Each set is crafted from UK-made 18ct gold or platinum, and you choose between natural diamonds or lab-grown diamonds that are 100% conflict-free. Both diamond types score a 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, so durability isn’t a trade-off either way. Platinum suits daily wear for active hands, while 18ct gold gives you more flexibility with colour, whether that’s yellow, white, or rose.

A bespoke pair costs more upfront, but it’s the only option here built specifically around your two hands and your budget.

Price range

• Simple matching bands: from around £800 for the pair
• Solitaire and diamond-set band combination: £2,500 to £6,000+
• Fully bespoke sets with larger or rarer stones: £8,000 and up

Lab-grown diamond options typically run 30 to 40% lower than natural stones of comparable size.

Who it’s best for

This route suits couples who value originality over speed and don’t mind a short lead time while the rings are made. It also works well if one of you has already found the ring you love and wants a matching piece designed to complement it, rather than a generic pairing bought separately.

2. Classic matching plain wedding bands

Sometimes the simplest option is the right one. Plain wedding bands remain the most requested of all the types of wedding bands for couples who want their rings to match without any extra detailing competing for attention. If you’re after his and hers wedding bands that will still look right in twenty years, this is the safest starting point.

Design and style

A plain band is exactly that: a smooth, uninterrupted ring in a consistent width across both pieces. Most couples choose a wider band for him, often 5mm to 6mm, and a slimmer 2mm to 3mm band for her, so the pair reads as matched without being identical in size. Court-shaped profiles feel gentler on the finger than flat ones, and which band profile flatters your finger shape matters more than most couples expect once you’ve worn a ring daily.

Materials and durability

9ct and 18ct gold are the standard choices, with platinum available for those wanting extra scratch resistance. All three metals hold up well to daily wear, though platinum develops a soft patina rather than losing shape.

A well-made plain band outlasts trends entirely, because there’s nothing on it to date.

Price range

• 9ct gold pair: £300 to £600
• 18ct gold pair: £600 to £1,200
• Platinum pair: £900 to £1,800

Who it’s best for

This style suits couples who want matching wedding rings UK shoppers can order quickly, without a long design process. It also works well for anyone who prefers understated jewellery for work or already wears a statement engagement ring and doesn’t want the wedding band competing with it.

3. Tungsten his and hers ring sets

Tungsten has become a genuine alternative to precious metal for couples who want matching wedding bands for men and women that shrug off scratches entirely. It’s not something we craft in-house at Hatton Garden, since tungsten can’t be resized or engraved once it’s set, but it’s worth including here because so many couples ask about it before choosing gold or platinum instead.

Design and style

Tungsten rings usually come brushed, polished, or with a two-tone finish combining matte and shiny bands. Most sets pair a wider, industrial-looking band for him with a slimmer, sometimes faceted band for her. Some ranges add a thin inlay of rose gold or black ceramic to give the pair a shared detail without softening the metal’s tough appearance.

Materials and durability

Tungsten carbide ranks around 8.5 to 9 on the Mohs scale, making it one of the strongest metals for rings and better at resisting everyday scratching than gold or platinum. The trade-off matters: tungsten is brittle rather than malleable, so a hard knock can crack or shatter the ring instead of denting it. It also can’t be resized, which is a real limitation if either partner’s finger size changes.

Tungsten survives scratches gold can’t, but it won’t survive a hard impact the way gold will.

Price range

• Basic tungsten pair: £60 to £150
• Two-tone or inlaid designs: £150 to £300

Who it’s best for

Budget-conscious couples, or anyone working with their hands daily, tend to gravitate toward tungsten first. It’s a sensible choice for a secondary or everyday band, though we’d steer you toward gold or platinum for a ring meant to last a lifetime without replacement.

4. Titanium couple ring sets

Titanium sits between tungsten and precious metal in terms of feel, giving couples a lightweight option that still looks substantial on the hand. It’s another material we don’t forge in-house at Hatton Garden, but it comes up often enough in consultations that it deserves a proper look here for anyone comparing his and hers wedding rings UK suppliers offer.

Design and style

Titanium sets typically favour clean, contemporary lines rather than ornate detailing, with brushed or matte finishes that suit a more understated pair. Many ranges offer a grooved or beveled edge on his band, paired with a smoother, rounded profile for hers, so the two feel coordinated without matching exactly. Some designs add a thin strip of carbon fibre or gold inlay as a shared detail across both rings.

Materials and durability

Titanium is roughly a third the weight of gold, which makes it comfortable for anyone who dislikes the feel of a heavier ring, though it is worth comparing against the best metals for wedding bands before you commit. It scores around 6 on the Mohs scale, softer than tungsten but still more scratch-resistant than gold. Resizing is limited or impossible on most titanium bands, so getting the fit right at the point of purchase matters more than usual.

Titanium gives you comfort and strength without the weight, but you only get one chance to get the sizing right.

Price range

• Standard titanium pair: £80 to £180
• Designs with inlay detailing: £180 to £350

Who it’s best for

Active couples, or anyone who finds gold rings uncomfortably heavy after a full day, tend to prefer titanium. Consider it a practical everyday option rather than a lifetime piece, since resizing and repair options stay firmly limited.

5. Diamond-set his and hers wedding bands

Diamonds aren’t only for the engagement ring. Diamond-set wedding bands let both partners carry a bit of sparkle into the marriage itself, and they’ve become one of the more popular requests we see for couples who want their his and hers wedding rings UK wide who still want a shared visual thread with their engagement ring.

Design and style

Her band usually carries a row of pavé or channel-set diamonds running partway or fully around the ring, while men’s diamond wedding bands often take a single flush-set stone or a narrow line of smaller diamonds along one edge. Some couples choose to mirror the setting style exactly, just with fewer stones on his side, so the pair reads as a set rather than two separate purchases. You can build this pairing through our UK diamond wedding bands range or adapt it as part of a bespoke commission.

Materials and durability

Diamonds set into 18ct gold or platinum bands hold up well to daily wear, provided the setting style suits an active lifestyle. Channel and flush settings protect the stones better than raised prong settings, and the durability truth about pavé, channel and bezel settings matters more on a band worn every day than on an engagement ring taken off occasionally.

A flush or channel setting keeps the sparkle without the snagging risk of a raised prong.

Price range

• Single accent diamond pair: £600 to £1,200
• Half-eternity style pair: £1,200 to £2,800
• Full-eternity pair with larger stones: £2,800 and up

Who it’s best for

Couples who loved the sparkle of the proposal ring and want that continuity in the wedding bands tend to choose this route. It also suits anyone who wants his ring subtly upgraded beyond a plain band without tipping into flashy territory.

6. Rose gold matching couple rings

Rose gold has moved from a niche choice to one of the most requested finishes for matching couple rings, thanks to its warm tone that flatters most skin shades. Couples often pick it specifically because it looks different from anything else in their jewellery box, giving the set a distinct identity even when the design itself stays simple.

Design and style

Most rose gold pairs lean toward soft, rounded profiles that suit the metal’s warmth, though sharper faceted edges work equally well for a more modern pair. A popular combination pairs a rose gold solitaire or halo for her with a plain or lightly textured rose gold band for him, keeping the colour as the unifying detail rather than the shape. You can browse ready-made rose gold bridal sets or adapt one through our engagement ring collection if you want the tone matched precisely across both rings.

Materials and durability

Rose gold gets its colour from a higher copper content mixed into the gold alloy, which actually makes it slightly harder than yellow or white gold. That extra copper means rose gold resists everyday knocks a touch better, though the colour can shift subtly over years of wear as the surface oxidises.

Rose gold’s copper content gives it both its colour and a small durability edge over other gold tones.

Price range

• 9ct rose gold pair: £350 to £650
• 18ct rose gold pair: £700 to £1,400
• With diamond accents: £1,500 and up

Who it’s best for

Couples wanting a warmer alternative to traditional gold or platinum tend to choose rose gold first, particularly if one partner already wears vintage-inspired jewellery elsewhere.

7. Sterling silver his and hers sets

Sterling silver gives couples the look of platinum or white gold at a fraction of the cost, which is why it’s often the first stop for anyone shopping on a tight budget or buying wedding bands his and hers style purely as a placeholder before upgrading later. It’s not a metal we work with for bespoke commissions at Hatton Garden, since it doesn’t suit lifetime wear, but it’s a fair option worth understanding before you commit.

Design and style

Silver takes detailing well, so you’ll find pairs with milgrain edges, hammered textures, or simple polished bands in the same width ratio couples choose in gold, and plenty of choice among men’s silver wedding bands. A common pairing puts a cubic zirconia or small diamond accent on her band with a plain matching profile for his, keeping the set visually linked without added cost.

Materials and durability

Sterling silver sits around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, softer than gold or platinum, so it scratches and dents more easily with daily wear. It also tarnishes over time, needing regular polishing to keep its shine, and most pieces lack hallmarking guarantees you’d get from UK-made gold jewellery.

Silver looks the part for a fraction of the price, but expect to replace or refinish it within a few years.

Price range

• Plain silver pair: £40 to £90
• Silver with accent stones: £90 to £180

Who it’s best for

Couples on a strict budget, or those wanting temporary rings before an upgrade, suit silver best. It’s not the choice for anyone wanting a set that lasts decades without maintenance.

Choosing the right set for your story

Budget and lifestyle narrow this list fast. If you want rings that last a lifetime without maintenance, gold or platinum wins over tungsten, titanium, or silver every time, even though those alternatives suit a tight budget or an active job well. If you want your rings to genuinely match, rather than just sit in the same price bracket, a bespoke pair remains the only option built around your two hands from the start.

Whatever style pulls you in, the real question is whether the set reflects your relationship or just ticks a box marked "matching". His her engagement rings should feel like they belong to you both specifically, not to a catalogue photo. That’s the whole point of choosing a set rather than two separate rings.

If you’re ready to design a pair that actually tells your story, book a consultation with A Star Diamonds in Hatton Garden and we’ll help you get it right from the first sketch.
