On 'Today,' with which ring will they wed?

New York—Today's a big day for bridal designers, as the Today show continued its famous "Today Throws A Wedding—Race to the Altar" segment with a feature on bridal bands.

Kwiat, Ritani, Kirk Kara and Bulgari were chosen out of a select group of the world's most prestigious jewelry companies as the four finalists to appear on the show.

Beginning today at 9 a.m., viewers were invited to vote on which of the wedding band sets would make it onto the fingers of LaDonna and Darnell, a couple from Atlanta who will wed on the Today show next week.

Kwiat's offerings are platinum bands from the brand's newest bridal collection, "Fidelity." Each band appears almost as if it has two intersecting rings. The bride's version is marked with brilliant-cut diamonds, while the groom's band is an endless circle of platinum.

The Ritani bands are from the "Endless Love" collection and feature a complementary, not matchy-matchy look. The ladies' band features 1.25 carats of diamonds, and the men's version features 22 points of diamonds. Both are set in platinum.

Tuning in to the vintage-inspired trend is Kirk Kara, whose Today show bands feature scrollwork on both the bride's and groom's versions. Both are crafted in 18-karat white gold.

Finally, Bulgari offered up a bolder look, with his and her bands featuring the double "Bulgari" signature scrolled across the side of the rings. The band for her features 0.5 carats of diamonds, while his is all metal.

Editor's note: Kwiat announced on Friday that viewers of the Today show have voted the company the winner.
