The 15 Best Places to Buy Wedding Bands Online in 2023

Blue Nile Wedding Bands

One of the first places to make online diamond shopping a thing, Blue Nile has been around for over two decades. Selling ultra-high-quality diamonds—at much lower prices than traditional retail, thanks to the fact that they cut out the middleman—this is a great place to shop for diamond bands. They also have a convenient category of “couples rings,” pairing options that work well for him and her together in one convenient—and very affordable—duo. So affordable, in fact, that many of the combinations come in at under $1,000 for both bands.

Shipping and Returns Policies

Blue Nile offers free and secure shipping, and priority shipping is based on a total order value minimum. If you need to expedite your order, they do offer shipping upgrades for an additional charge. Every order includes a 30-day return policy and a lifetime guarantee, to boot. Additionally, their Diamond Buyback program allows customers to sell a loose diamond or piece of diamond jewelry for a cash offer based on current market value.

Grown Brilliance Wedding Bands

Grown Brilliance is a leader in lab-grown jewelry, especially as it pertains to wedding bands and engagement rings. They craft a variety of styles that adhere to their high standards of ethics, product integrity, and value, all while providing jewelry at an affordable price point. No matter what style of ring you're looking for, Grown Brilliance will have a wedding band that is perfect for you.

Shipping and Return Policies

Grown Brilliance offers free two-day shipping (via FedEx) for all U.S.-based orders. As for their made-to-order pieces, all jewelry will be shipped immediately after it's created (which can take approximately two weeks depending on the style ordered). The brand does not ship to P.O. boxes, and once an order has been placed, the address cannot be changed for any reason.

As for returns, all products must be in their original, unworn condition and accompanied by all original documentation that was provided with the purchase. Custom orders cannot be returned, and items that show signs of wear and tear will not be accepted.

Etsy Wedding Bands

While many couples don't necessarily think of Etsy as a destination for wedding bands, it’s worth checking out the site for a variety of handcrafted stunners. These custom-made choices, from talented vendors across the globe, are a surefire way to ensure you’re getting something truly unique. And talk about options—at last check, the wedding bands section of the site yielded over 158,000 items, but you can easily filter through these pieces by price or even shipping time.

Shipping and Returns Policies

Since each vendor has their own set of shop policies, make sure to check the payment plan options, estimated delivery date, as well as return policy, as everything will vary from shop to shop.

Catbird Wedding Bands

A go-to for unique, vintage-inspired engagement rings, this New York-based company offers one-of-a-kind wedding bands. You have the option to choose from the brand’s three signature collections, as well as options from a few other smaller jewelry designers. There’s also a nice selection of choices for men, as well as unisex bands. Regardless, everything is totally different than traditional wedding jewelry, utterly romantic, and affordable, too.

Shipping and Returns Policies

If you order from Catbird's "Ship Now" collection, your order will ship within three to seven business days. For custom rings, you can choose from standard shipping, next-day delivery, and in-store pickup (orders not picked up within 45 days will be refunded and returned to stock). Catbird also accepts returns for online and in-store purchases within 10 days of the purchase date, accompanied by a receipt.

Zales Wedding Bands

The “diamond store since 1924” does, in fact, have plenty of diamond options, from delicate pavé bands to more dramatic designs. (And given their extensive selection of engagement rings, this is also a great place to shop if you want to go with a matching set.) Offering a nice array of plain metal bands in yellow gold, white gold, and titanium, and in a range of prices that are equally extensive, you'll be sure to find a band to suit your style and your budget.

Shipping and Returns Policies

Returns and exchanges in good condition are permitted within 60 days from the purchase date, and online purchases can be returned to one of Zales's many store locations or returned by mail. Like many retailers, it might take up to 30 days to process any refunds.

Gemist Wedding Bands

Direct-to-consumer brands are all the rage across every product category these days, and wedding bands are no exception. Case in point: Gemist, which sells both everyday pieces and wedding jewelry. They’re also the first digital option (with both an app and website) to let you “try before you buy” jewelry, a huge plus for anyone a little stressed about shelling out big bucks for a ring they’ve never even tried on. 

Their selection of wedding bands is helpfully categorized into classic and contemporary collections. The former boasts simple designs, though, with a variety of both diamonds and other precious stones; the latter has slightly more unexpected designs and cuts. Either way, once you choose an initial design, you can then customize everything from the metal to the stone to the band. You can even book a personalized consultation with one of their consultants to help you craft the perfect band.

Shipping and Returns Policies

Engagement rings and wedding bands are shipped via UPS Ground, but expedited shipping is offered for an additional cost. Everyday rings with tags intact can be returned within 14 days of purchase, but fully custom rings cannot be returned.

Kay Jewelers Weddings Bands

This retailer is well-known for their engagement rings, but also offers an equally impressive assortment of wedding bands. They use ethically sourced materials and stones, though they have lab-created diamonds as well. There are a plethora of choices, ranging from simple black silicone bands to glamorous, vintage-inspired eternity bands for her. Many of the bands are also engravable for those looking to add a personalized touch. And if you’re searching to amp up your bridal bling, there’s a great variety of pieces that can easily be stacked, mixed, and matched.

Shipping and Returns Policies

Kay offers safe shipping and for your security, merchandise orders over $1,000 will only be shipped to the billing address for the payment method you've chosen to use.

You may return your ring via mail or at any Kay location after 30 days of receiving your order or exchange your order within 60 days of the purchase date.

Ritani Wedding Rings

All of these rings are handcrafted and made to order, using ethically sourced metals and diamonds. What we love the most is that there’s no shortage of options to choose from, as they have over 450 women’s wedding bands and nearly 700 for men. The brand also has a convenient matching feature that makes it easy to select a band that will be the most flattering paired with your engagement ring. Bonus points for plenty of price-conscious options, too.

The preferred choice for brides with timeless and classic aesthetics, Tiffany & Co. features a nice mix of diamond and metal options, and helpful wedding band sets that make it easy to find a pair that works perfectly together.

Cartier Wedding Bands

Cartier's Love collection is possibly one of the most recognizable collections from a jewelry brand, representing love that is inseparable from whoever is "locked" by its charm. The collection is just one example of classic, elegant craftsmanship from Cartier, using only exceptional materials that exceed anyone's exceptions. Their other line of wedding bands, such as Ballerine and Trinity Ruban, are ones to consider, as they possess the same amount of sparkle, extravagant gems, and a range of metals for everyone to enjoy.

All of their stones are conflict-free and hand-selected, meaning you only receive the best of the best.

Mejuri Wedding Jewelry

If you want to make a statement, Mejuri is the place to go. Their wedding collection is filled with solid gold and silver bands for a classic touch, as well as elevated diamond pieces that can easily be stacked with one another. Each band is thick, sturdy, and made only with true gold and silver materials that never oxidize or discolor. As for Mejuri's diamonds, they're only sourced from suppliers who follow conflict-free and responsible practices, and they're able to provide your ring with the right amount of shine and weight.

Shipping and Return Policies

Mejuri offers free shipping for orders over $75 (depending on where you're based), or you can purchase in-store. If you want to personalize your wedding band, most of Mejuri's pieces can be engraved with unique characters, but they're unfortunately not eligible for returns. Non-personalized items can be returned within 30 days of purchase if in unused condition with their original packaging included. However, there is a $20 shipping fee for U.S. orders and $30 for all other countries that'll be deducted from the refund amount.

Doyle & Doyle Wedding Bands

Doyle & Doyle has a sweet history. The retailer was founded by the Doyle sisters, Elizabeth and Irene, who've long had an appreciation for jewelry, especially their grandmother's items. Their beautifully crafted pieces are all designed in New York City and created in the United States. Furthermore, what differentiates Doyle & Doyle's curation of jewelry is that they're filled with vintage, estate, and antique pieces, so no one is like the other.

Shipping and Return Policies

Doyle & Doyle provides free standard shipping for all U.S. orders, but you can upgrade to two-day or overnight shipping for an additional $35 to $75. Depending on when you purchase (the brand ships every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday), your order could ship out as soon as the next day. Plus, all of their packages are insured. International shipping is unfortunately limited.

Items under $2,500 may be returned for a full refund if Doyle & Doyle is contacted within a seven-day period and the piece is unworn. Those over $2,500 can receive an exchange or credit, and made-to-order purchases are considered final sale.
