As it pertains to crafting the ideal wedding band stack, every detail counts. From choosing an eye-catching centre stone to fine details in its setting and each element contributing to its harmony and beauty is of equal significance in creating your collection of rings. But have you heard about a guard ring hiding under all that glitters - What is a guard ring used for?

Guard rings play an essential part in not only adding visual interest to a stack but also protecting its precious centre stone. At EX3 Diamonds, we understand their power to complete any wedding band journey and are here to shed more light on them.

What Is a Guard Ring?

A guard ring is an unobtrusive thin band made of similar metal to your wedding set that sits comfortably alongside an engagement or main wedding band and acts as an additional layer in terms of functionality and beauty in a stack of rings. While guard rings may not draw much attention themselves, their use adds plenty of benefits that enhance their functionality and appearance.

Guardian Rings Offer Advantages Over Traditional Security Options

1. Enhanced Protection

A larger diamond centre stone may be more susceptible to bumps and scrapes during normal wear, acting as an unnecessary safeguard ring protecting its precious gem against accidental impacts and scrapes from daily wear. A guard ring acts as an additional layer of defence by acting as an absorber against potential impacts while safeguarding its precious gem against scratches from everyday wear- and tear damage caused during everyday use.

2. Comfort and Security

A carefully constructed guard ring can add extra support for wedding bands with delicate settings or large centre stones, giving you extra peace of mind throughout the day while guaranteeing comfort during their wear. This additional measure provides peace of mind as it ensures a proper fit throughout.

3. A Touch of Elegance

Guard rings add an air of elegance to a wedding ensemble; from classic bands adorned with sparkling diamonds or intricate designs to more elaborate guard rings with unique gemstones or intricate engravings, guard rings offer something different than their practical functions alone. You can personalize them to add a unique style to the ensemble as a whole.

4. Versatility for Stacking

No matter your preferred aesthetic or level of complexity in terms of your ring stacks, guard rings offer exceptional versatility in stacking designs.
