Star Wars Wedding Bands

If you’re getting engaged and you and your fiancé-to-be have a shared affection for all things Star Wars, you’ll be pleased to know that a surprising number of wedding jewelry designers are creating engagement ring and wedding band styles with your Star Warsian tastes in mind. For some designers, the connection is inadvertent (yet no less apropos), favoring rough stones that could hail from some extra-planetary floor, materials that careen through space or fossilized inlay (fossils as in dinosaurs, yes). Others have taken a range of inspiration points—droid hardware, R2’s cobalt blue panels, Princess Leia’s iconic side buns, famous battle scenes, memorable quotes—and fashioned them into geek chic metal monuments to both the movie and your love. Diamonds and sapphires abound, as do the options for men. May the force be with you as you shop! 

 A boulder-sized smoky quartz is the centerpiece of this 18k yellow and white gold design. From $3,150, Yael Sonia.

 Astral debris takes a sophisticated turn: Meterorite Knife Edge Band in sterling silver, $795, David Yurman.

A dazzling take on the beloved droid in robust white gold with a round diamond and sapphire baguettes. From $2,950, Paul Michael Design. Available at Custom Made. 

Inspired by an antique design, this dark beauty features a diamond set in 14k gold and sculpted onyx, a millenias-old stone with extraordinary strength and durability (though possibly not as durable as the famous villain's helmet). $2,000, Erica Weiner.

 A hair-raising option in oxidized sterling silver with a garnet center stone, inspired by her worship. From $295, Jasmeen Kaur.

 A heart-melting set in hand-stamped silver that borrows from a famous exchange between Han and Leia in The Empire Strikes Back. $90, GeekandGamer.

 No joke—the "stone" in this engagement ring is actually dinosaur bone. The design is made of palladium and comes with a matching wedding band. $2,699, Jewelry by Johan.

A strong marriage calls for hefty hardware—and a design as complex and clever as little R2 himself. Made of hypoallergenic grey gold, this engagement ring features sapphires and ideal-cut diamond accents. $8,409, DeMer Jewelry.

 Two nerd-friendly features: The band is made of tungsten (harder than steel, and the highest melting point of any pure metal—can you say Millennium Falcon?) and displays Battle of Hoth-inspired artwork (see the Imperial AT-AT Walkers?). From $220, Rings Paradise.

 A subtle nod to lightsaber design and mechanics in sterling silver. $324.99, Rocky My World.

One last homage to R2D2, a Star Wars-inflected take on the ever-popular halo setting in brushed 14k white gold, with diamonds (the baguettes are so sharp and icy!) and sapphires. From $2,995,Paul Michael Design.

Called the "Star Wars Rebel Alliance and Jedi Order Engagement Ring," the design is a mashup of battleship hardware, R2's signature blue and the Jedi Order's insignia in silver, with sapphires and a princess-cut diamond. From $350, Valeria Fine Jewelry.
