So I am sitting here eating salted broadbeans (which are suprisingly YUMMMY) and I get to considering how long it takes me to decide on something I figured I should start thinking about what kind of WB to get, I have tried on a few but nothing screams OMG THIS IS IT to me yet. Chances are I will get LM to make the band to go with it but I am torn over sparkly or plain and FI is not buying into the 2 WB's thing - BUGGER  . I am not opposed to something ready made as well that I can try on either. I don't want a pave band because I don't have a decent jeweller near me and repairs would be impossible and I am not one to baby my rings that much. I thinking possibly french cuts in a channel setting (well thats todays thought) and I love the look of a plain band much like my diamond twinkies Delster's set not sure.I know I want the rings to sit flush/mostly flush and have a really low profile and match the sides of the ring so any suggestions ladies what would you pair. For reference this is my ring http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=99750&pageNo=4 TIA __________________________________________________________  Sometimes if your really lucky all your dreams do come true ............... |

DEFINATELY go the sparkle!! I have a round solitaire in a plain band setting for my e ring and it amazes me just how much the little diamonds in a WB can set my big diamond off, not detract from it. PS, i am so stealing the diamond ring on the Birds of Paradise picture idea!!

An eternity band equal to the carat weight of your diamond is my suggestion. I have a six prong solitaire and there's nothing like more sparkle to make it beautiful. The eternity band is a great look, classic and expensive looking at the same time. There is no such thing as too much sparkle in my opinion.

I'm going to say plain. My diamond solitaire stands out better on it's own when it doesn't have the distraction of smaller stones. If you really want some sparkle try the WF scattered band - that ring look lovely with round solitaires without looking 'over the top' or too much. I know there are those that think you can never have too much bling but I personally prefer the 'less is more' look

I am biased towards plain because that is what I paired with my solitaire RB. I get so many compliments on my E-Ring and I love, love, that it's the first thing people focus on. I will try to find a picture of both rings together to show you... Good Luck! Choosing what WB style was definitely the hardest for me! ~~~~~I know I'm yours, without fear or hesitation and without a doubt in my soul, I know I belong to you, I always have, I always will~~~~~ |

I have a palladium and silver mokume band that I adore! It's different, but understated, and I love the symbolism of 2 metals bonded together forever and growing together to strengthen each other. From afar it looks like a platinum band, but you can see the pattern close up, and of course, I know it's there! And DH loves his matching band, the 2 rings were made together so the patterns match, and he likes that his ring was made with an old samurai sword smithing technique, lol.

I went with an etoile band because I wanted a bit of sparkle, but at the same time I knew that I was tough on my hands. Ironically enough, now I almost always wear them on separate hands - the wedding band never leaves my right hand, but I play it up on the left with either a band of channel-set round, a bezel-set alternating marquis/round band, or (soon!) an Alex Sepkus micro-band. My recommendation would be to go to a store and try on EVERYTHING to see if there's a style you haven't thought of that catches your eye ....

Would you be wearing the band by itself? Or would you wear them as a pair the majority of the time? In my opinion, if you're going to wear the band alone and want it to be durable and hassle free, go with plain. My band is plain because I'll be able to take it hiking, wear it to bed, etc without worry. However, if you're really only going to wear them as a set, I think sparkly. I always like solitaires paired with sparkly bands

I've always loved eternity bands. I saw one a few months ago (can't remember where) that had the stones channel set and added a small lip around. Not the best description. It was just a tiny curve on either side so the stones were really set in the band. Another bad description sorry. They were set in such a way that if one ever did come loose it wouldn't fall out. Not sure how they would repair it if anything ever happened. Wasn't ready to purchase anything so didn't ask. Of course a simple, classic gold band is beautiful too. Tough choice.

If I were getting hitched again I would insist on 3 bands! 2 diamond bands and one plain metal. So based on that your FI should feel lucky you only want 2! Buy both a plain and diamond if at all possible. There are many instances that you will want/need to wear no more than a plain band and if you wear your diamond band without your e-ring you will not be wearing an official wedding band. But to live within your rules I would buy a plain band if I could have only 1.

I say I would go for at least 2 sparkly and 1 plain. Or you could just have 1 sparkly. I go for 2 so that you can have the e-ring in between of the 2 sparkly. If that's too much for you, then go for just one sparkly. Then I would have just a plain one to change things up or if you are planning on traveling you can wear that instead. I personally like to keep my options open and will end up with 3 wbands to change things up a bit for me.

Thanks for all the suggestions ladies, I love that band you posted Maisie it would look perfect my only concern is living on the otherside of the world from Leon should I need repairs  , I have tried having something repaired here and never again . I am trying to convince FI he REALLLY wants to get me a 5 stone band so I can have a Serbian engagement ring (the ring is worn on the right hand rather then the left) and then really he wants to get me two bands one for the left and one for the right - nope the bugger is not buying it all this crap about a wedding to pay for and the pretty rock I already have  . I would most likely pair it with the e-ring my ring is 1.8mm wide so fairly delicate I was thinking something around 2mm, the scattered band or etolie band could be a possibilty good thing I walk past tiffs everyday on my way to and from work :). I think I need to talk to LM as well and see what he suggests. __________________________________________________________ Sometimes if your really lucky all your dreams do come true ............... |

The only solution to this problem is to get on a plane to Melbourne and come shopping with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Anyhoo, I am probably biased, but my 2mm channel set band is to die for. I will let you try it on
