Does anyone have pics of a plain solitare with a wedding band that is either thicker or thinner than the e ring? I love the simple, sleek look of plain bands with a beautiful diamond, but I like them to look not super "matchy-matchy." My e ring is 2.5 mm thick, and I am thinking about going with a 3mm wedding band? Who would have thought that picking out a simple platinum band could be so complicated! :)

Picking a wedding band is a really big decision! Take your time and have fun with it! I recommend going to a jewelry store and trying on different sizes and styles, who knows what you'll fall in love with.

My wedding ring and e-ring are the same widths, so posting a pic won't really help you. A lady I work with wears a 5mm wedding band with her 2mm ering and it looks lovely! Not all women call pull that look off though.

My wedding band and ering are different, and I love the look.

My wedding band is approx 8mm wide 18k yellow gold with a white gold bezel set 0.46 diamond heart.  Worn together with my er which is a 4 claw solitaire.

Thank's ER, I am going to change my solitaire to 6 claw (have not decided what design yet, still looking).  I do love wide band rings though.    Sometimes I think you need to try some different style on with your er to get ideas.  You might love something you have seen in a pic but it might not be as nice on.  It's great fun looking

I don't know if you can see it well, but I have a 2.5 mm solitaire that I wear with a 3 mm diamond band.  You can see the pic in my avatar ...

I do like the look of them together.  I think that your solitiare would look great with a 3 mm band, or 2.5 mm if you want them to match exactly.

Thanks for the input everyone! I think I am going to go with a 3mm comfort fit band and then add some stacking rings over the years :)

I think that's a great idea.  Your ring is so stunning, I think that a plain band will really set it off best. 

It's really a lot of fun to add stacking bands over the years.  They make great anniversary gifts or push presents   I have added several different stacking bands over the past couple of years, and it's a lot of fun to mix and match them.  In fact, I now wish that I had started off with a plain band as a wedding band - I still don't have one of those!  A plain band is great because you can wear it all the time, and not have to take it off to clean, or sleep, or whatever.
