So I got this beautiful engagement ring and i'm trying to find a wedding band to match, but that will stand out,but also enhance the ring. Trying to get ideas on what to look for and something that won't blend to much with the ring. Thanks

I think a band that is the same as the shank of your e ring would look great. It would match, but still make your 3 stone stand out because those diamonds will be separated with the metal of the channel set band (I think that's what they call the way your shank is set).

Gorgeous engagement ring! Do you have other pictures?

I agree - something exactly the same as the shank would be beautiful!

I agree--channel set band to match would compliment your ring and blend beautifully.

I agree also. Something the same width as the band on the ER and stones of a similar size as the channel-set sidestones.

lovely profile... definitely the same width (or a little thinner) channel set band would be perfection!

Beautiful ring -  I love 3 stone's!  I agree that a channel-set band that is of the same or slightly narrower width as the shank of your e-ring would look perfect.

What a beautiful ring! I agree with the channel set band like the shank. I think it would be lovely!

Congratulations on your engagement!

Beautiful ring!!!!


I agree a band that is the same as your ering setting band would be a great compliment.  It is hard to tell from the photos but I think your ering band is bead set...
Whatever the setting method I really think a coordinating wedding band would look great.

And if you like the stacked/sandwiched look, get one for each side. Or ask for the second one for an anniversary (I really like stacked up rings)

your ring is beautiful!! see if there is a band that goes with it. sometimes there is a band from the same store or place that will match it perfectly.

Looks like the side stones are bead set? Whiteflash has a lovely bead set band I think would be lovely with your ring.

I agree that a band to match the shank of your ring would be beautiful, but if you're looking for something "different" and don't want it to match, then maybe a thin bead-set diamond band in rose gold.

I did try a band on that matched perfectly but it blended in too much with the band and i wish they made it a little bigger cause i'm thinking about getting a band that's a little bigger than the engagement ring band so it will stand out a little too. I'm going to go look around stores but go with a channel band with round cut diamonds. I guess trying on different bands will be the best option. Thanks for everyones' comments!!!!!

The band SanDiegoLady posted has a bit more presence. So does this one, also from Whiteflash:

Have fun trying on rings!
