Baby rings and family rings are often given to commemorate a baby's birth. Recently, more people are enjoying wearing them layered with their wedding rings or coordinating the designs together. Here, we introduce how to choose designs that harmonize with your wedding ring, as well as how to incorporate birthstone motifs.
What Are Baby Rings and Family Rings?
A baby ring is typically a small ring modeled after a baby's finger size or handprint, while a family ring generally combines the birthstones of each family member. These are popular as commemorative gifts, and simple designs that are easy to wear daily are especially favored.
Considering Layering with Your Wedding Ring
- If you plan to layer the ring on the same finger as your wedding ring, checking the balance of width and thickness beforehand will make it more comfortable to wear
- Matching the material or color tone with your wedding ring creates a cohesive overall look

Incorporating Birthstone Motifs
For family rings, designs that scatter each family member's birthstone are popular. Knowing the color combinations and the meanings behind each stone can help you create a piece you'll treasure even more. For more details, please see our Birthstone Motifs page and the Birthstone Guide column.
Points to Keep in Mind When Choosing
Since sizing and fit vary from person to person, we recommend trying on the actual piece before deciding whenever possible. The brands and stores available differ by location, so it's a good idea to check in advance.
