Thanks for putting up with my wedding band and stacking questions. Do you think that stacking these two hands shrinks or takes away from my center stone?image_1949.jpgimage_1950.jpg

I don't think so. It doesn't shrink your beautiful diamond.

Not in my opinion... I like the stacks! :)

I love the stack look. Your diamond is pretty amazing! I don't think a few stackers will shrink THAT baby! :wink2:

I like it with the single band that's the "regular straight band" the best.

I voted A. The curvy band is delicious with it. It doesn't make your diamond look smaller but it does take attention away from it.

Honestly, all the options look really nice! I would just wear whatever suits your mood that particular day - I don't have enough room to stack because the base of my ering is wide, but I have three different bands and rotate them throughout the week, just to mix things up a bit. eta: to answer the original question, I like your ring with the 2 bands, I don't think it takes away from your diamond.

I think if you stack them it would look better with the straight band in the middle. But I don't think the stack makes your diamond look smaller!

With the straight band your ring truly shines. But all combinations look good. It will be fun to select a different stack depending on your mood.

Not at all, you have a nice gap between your diamond and your bands. I think if your bands fit flush to your diamond it would be a different story.

I agree; with the photos we can see I like it stacked with just the "regular straight band" the best. Main ring looks lovely!

I like all the combinations especially because you have a space. As lknvrb4 pointed out if they were all flush then it would take away from the main diamond but because there is a small space you see each as separate and distinct. However my favorite combination is your ER with the straight band. It looks just perfect. Though I also really like the curved band with it. Wear them as the mood strikes. All really gorgeous and different looks. :love:

I think all three options look great. I would just change it up as the mood strikes you. Your engagement ring is really lovely.

Like the others, I think it looks best with the regular straight band but I don't think any of your bands, or the stack of two, diminishes the look or size of your centre diamond.
