Heart Wedding Bands

June 18, 2009 by Yelena Jenkins · Leave a Comment 

Heart Band - Two ToneThe heart is a universal symbol for love, which is precisely why it looks right at home on a wedding band.  We love the look of heart wedding bands for two reasons: 1. They remind the wearer that love is an integral part of marriage, and 2. They just look good.

Whether the hearts are a traditional design, are abstract, or come covered in diamonds, we have a lovely selection of wedding bands with hearts for an engaged couple to choose from. Here are some of our favorites:

Two Tone Heart Wedding Band

The great thing about this wedding band is that the hearts are woven together in an abstract way. The result is a romantic band with hearts up close, but a cool abstract design from a distancHeart ring - engagement ringe. This unique band also comes in pure white gold for those who aren’t fans of the two-tone look.

1 Carat Diamond and Heart Engagement Ring

If you love the heart wedding band above, you will adore this 1 carat diamond and heart band engagement ring. The stunning 1 carat diamond center stone is flanked by a white gold band with the same interlocking heart design. It’s ideal for the woman who loves romance with a touch of whimsy, and it comes at an equally lovely price.

CHeart ring - celtic love knoteltic Heart Knot Wedding Band

This ring has an intricate heart design that is more subtle than overt. Celtic knots are always popular ring designs, and the heart knot is particularly lovely and meaningful for a wedding band.  The ring is made of 14K yellow and white gold, but also comes in 18K white gold, in rose gold and in 18K two-tone gold.

Heart Ring - diamond blue and white band

Blue and White Diamond Heart Ring

Women who prefer to wear a thicker wedding band in lieu of pairing an engagement ring with a small band will love this statement-making heart ring. Covered in tiny blue and white pave diamonds, the ring consists of five hearts nestled between two diamond covered bands.

Right Hand Heart Rings

Heart ring - south sea pearlFor girls who love heart designs on their rings but aren’t looking for a wedding band, there are still a plethora of beautiful options to take a look at. Two of our favorites happen to be the heart-shape Australian pearl and diamond ring and the South Sea heart shaped ring. These are powerful enough that they would make  stunning alternatives to the traditional engagement ring.

Stunning Floral Wedding Bands

floral-wedding-bands-hand-carved-white-gold-bandWith Spring’s warm weather comes one of nature’s most stunning gifts – flowers. The delicate, otherworldly blossoms spring from the barren ground each year symbolizing renewal, hope and beauty in nature. The symbolic connotations of the beautiful flower make it the ideal symbol for a wedding band design. What else is a lifelong union but the beauty of sharing lives, hope for a happy future, and the unspoken daily renewal and fulfillment of your treasured wedding day vows?

Even for those who aren’t big fans of symbolism, flowers simply make beautiful wedding band designs. They’re feminine yet architectural, and are the designs subtle enough that they look abstract from a distance. If you’re not yet convinced on the virtues of floral designs, check out some of our favorite floral wedding bands below, and prepare to fall head over heals:

Floral Vine Design White Gold Wedding Band

The combination of vines and flowers create a textured composition of ethereal swirls that lend this ring a lovely feminine quality. It’s perfect for women who want a ladylike wedding band without gemstones that still has a unique touch,  setting it apart from the plain white gold band.


Two Tone Floral Design Gold Wedding Band

floral-wedding-band-two-tone-rings
For women who love the above design but want an extra visual kick, the two tone floral wedding band is the perfect pick. Yellow and white gold create a beautiful juxtaposition between the ornate floral yellow gold and the clean, simple white gold border.

We also love a similar version of the two tone band that has the white and yellow gold reversed. The yellow gold border has a flattering, warming effect against the skin tone that many women prefer.


Intricate Hand Carved Floral Wedding Band

Finely crafted with exquisite detail, this white gold ring is covered in an elaborate floral design (pictured at top). By eliminating the vines and leafs, the ring focuses solely on floral beauty. The result is a simplified version that still has the kick to set it apart from other wedding bands.floral-wedding-band-hand-carved-ring


Modern Hand Carved Floral Wedding Band

As the name implies, this solid 14K white gold wedding band is carved by hand. Unlike the previous designs, the band has an abstract quality that makes it strikingly modern. Instead of looking frilly, the floral design projects a modern and bold – perfect for women who love a unique look.

Heart Wedding Bands

heart-band-womens-diamond-bandThis being Valentine’s week, it makes sense to focus on beautiful heart-shaped jewelry. Since the heart is a treasured symbol of love, it is a popular choice for a holiday devoted to love. But don’t make the mistake of believing that heart-themed jewelry is only for Valentine’s Day. The heart is not a fleeting token; it is a lasting symbol that promises a part of oneself to another, while vowing to keep the other person in one’s own heart. True love runs deep, just like the blood that makes the heart beat faster in proximity to a significant other. As such, the symbol of the heart is a fitting ambassador for lifelong love and commitment – making it the perfect decorative design for a wedding band.

A wedding band embedded with hearts reminds the couple of their love for each other along with the vows of love and commitment they took on their wedding day. In that vein, we felt that Valentine’s Week was the perfect time to round up some of our favorite heart wedding bands to share with our readers.


Beautiful Byzantine 1 Carat Diamond Heart Band

This gorgeous diamond heart band (pictured at top) makes a statement and stands on its own. In total, 85 high quality diamonds sparkle amongst the 14k white gold band. Two bands frame a row of floating hearts, each set afire with one diamond in the middle. This band is an ideal pick for the bride who only wants to wear a band after the wedding instead of a band on top of the engagement ring. The flat setting slows the band the be worn comfortably on a daily basis, yet the stylish design makes it much more special than a simple wedding band.

Two-Tone Heart His & Hers Wedding Bands

This modern ring has a nontraditional, funky romantic vibe. The contrast of the yellow and white gold adds an interesting visual element as does the inverted, fused heart design that composes the center of the ring. This wedding band is a great option for couples who want to incorporate a heart design into their rings while wearing matching rings.

Celtic Heart Knot Wedding Band Ring

heart-band-celtic-love-knot
Celtic designs are extremely popular for wedding bands, particularly men’s bands. The intricacy of Celtic designs allows multiple symbols to be worked into a ring without any one symbol standing out. The Celtic heart knot appears to be multiple intricate flourishes, which allows the heart symbol to have a subtle overall design impact. This wedding band is the ideal ring choice for romantic guys who prefer subtlety.
