so this past November was my 10th wedding anniversary and I upgraded from a .25 carat solitaire to a custom made tapered cathedral with a 2.5 carat center stone. When I had the piece made, my intention was to wear it by itself and then get a lovely, hefty half eternity band (~2 carats) to wear on my right hand. After getting the ring, I realized that I actually *do* want a wedding band next to it for the more traditional look. The problem is that there are multiple design features of the ering that make a wedding band very tricky.
First, the diamonds on the side of the shank. I’m hoping that a spacer ring will prevent any damage (but let me know if I’m wrong there).
Second problem is the taper, which I love…. But which is causing a weird visual gap when a band is placed next to it (see photos ).
I want as much sparkle/carat weight as possible… buuuut, I’m afraid it’s looking like a smaller band will cause the least issues— I’m even wondering if the wisest thing to do is a plain platinum band. Do any of you have advice on my best options here?
I am attaching photos of the e-ring, some of the bands I’ve tried on in person, and couple I found online that might be in the ballpark. I will go back to the same jeweler and have a custom piece made, so I am open to any and all suggestions! Re: the princess cut/channel cut ring at the end— I think that style is so beautiful and I love the idea of the wedding band being able to stand on its own when desired, I would add milgrain, but even with that, I’m not sure if the square stones would end up clashing with the round.
