All it's been over a year since my successful ER project and surprise engagement. Our wedding is coming up this August 31 and we are starting to work on the wedding band concepts. We've bounced quite a few ideas around, but she really likes the feminine curves and silhouette of this band:

One of the big requirements is to have a band that has negative space or gaps for the NESW prongs of her ER to stack onto when worn. She wasn't a huge fan of curved bands, so that narrowed down the field as well. The band will be matched with her ER here (photos):

So we wanted to get you opinions on the wedding band style and if you think it works well. Second, please suggest any tweaks to the wedding band design as we will get it custom made. For sure we will be getting a 3/4 eternity with euro shank to match the ER, but what other tweaks do you PS experts suggest?

Will you be getting baguettes or keeping the rounds in the band? If keeping the rounds, make sure she tries something similar on with her e-ring. Non-matching is great but to be safe, try it on and make sure she likes the look of it. And she doesn't want anything channel-set, like her e-ring?

There's a thread for people with non-matching wedding sets. I'll try to find it.

Here are two (could have sworn there was a longer one somewhere):

ETA: What about a mix of baguettes with rounds alternating?

Good question. She's really loves her ER and the channel set baguettes. However after looking at some stacked rings online, she wasn't really drawn to getting channel set baguettes for the band as well. One of the design concepts of marrying curves (round diamond) with edges (baguettes, euro shank). So for the band, the thought was the same but just reverse the emphasis using round diamonds, and creating edges with the metal gaps.

She looked at mixed baguette/round options as well and didn't gravitate them.

So my fiance is pretty set on the above half-moon style band. My question is, her ER is a 1ct RBC on a 2.5mm wide band in size 4.25. The original design of the eternity here is with 5 pointers which I believe also work out to be 2.5mm in diameter. Not sure how the 5 pointers will look on a size 4.25, but I'm assuming pretty big. Do you think we should go for smaller size melee?
