Entwined eternally

Musings on wedding bands and stacking rings to nestle alongside your amulet.

This may be our most requested guide by far: which wedding bands to pair with which engagement ring. While there are no set rules (especially here) journey along below for a curation of pairings to enchant and illuminate your hand in light entwined.

Any of our thinner bands can be contoured to fit along every dip and curve of any engagement ring created by The North Way Studio. Or the contour can be left as shown in its listing. Maria will always reach out after purchase to confirm your desired contour. 

The Diadem of Dawn: Maria's Favorite

Contoured Natural Pear Cut Diamond Band shown on a hand grazing a face
A droplet of the morning sky, illuminated in unfurling golden leaves and a glistening natural diamond. 

A thin rivulet of unfurling leaves with rustic bark band towards the back. Perfect worn alone or alongside any engagement ring.


Can be created with natural diamond, emerald, sapphire, or ruby. Please email Maria with your preferred colorway.

The Fable Tapered Band

Seven diamond dewdrops set against more classical leaves. A demure fairytale in 1.8mm width at the back. Shown below in two renders, one alongside the Belladonna En Trois engagement ring with oval brilliant cut diamond center, and then with a colorway of deep green sapphires.


Our most popular wedding band for layering and stacking. Can also be created as a straight band for wearing alone.

The Scrying Mirror Diadem Band

Rose cut natural diamonds cascading down to a hand-carved band of bark and leaves. This band is created with the same band as the Scrying Mirror, the Wyvern, the Solstice, and the Sisters Three Heirloom Settings but adds a bit of wicked lushness to smooth band designs like the Belladonna En Trois or Hemlock Trinity.


Simply send along an email if you would like brilliant cut diamonds in place of rose cut diamonds before purchase. As always, other colorways and jewels can be used in place of diamonds by request for this wedding band.
