Ring Boxes to Have and to Hold Your Wedding Bands

We're of the opinion that wedding bands and engagement rings look best on left ring fingers, but we also know that the special pieces of jewelry can't always be on worn. For the times when they can't, display or store them in the next best thing: a suitable ring box. We've rounded up some of our favorite stylish, practical, and unique vessels for brides and grooms.

There are a few key situations when ring boxes come in handy; the first is the engagement. Whoever's popping the question needs a place to safety stow the proposal piece, and ideally, it's something discreet. In turn, we've featured a few slim ring cases that fit well in pockets—or in one case, a special sock designed specifically for the occasion.

The wedding day also calls for some sort of ring storage. After all, you'll have to transport the wedding bands to your venue. Then, you may want your ring bearer to forgo a traditional ring pillow and carry the jewelry in something more creative, like a customized ring box. We've included one of those—plus many other great options—ahead.

But ring boxes aren't just for special moments. During your day to day, you may find the need to take your jewelry off. When those situations arise, you'll be grateful to have a designated compartment to put the bling in. We've spotlighted plenty of those, too.

Here, see everything from classic velvet ring boxes to whimsical pill boxes you can repurpose. While all of these products are useful, most are pretty enough for wedding and engagement photos, too.
