Help choosing an eternity wedding band

[calisteph6]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'm having the hardest time deciding on a wedding band. I've tried on a few in store and I'm most attracted to shared prong or channel set ~1.5 ct bands but the shared prong was a tad uncomfy.

Online I've seen a few like:

But the second probably would overwhelm my ring, here are pics of that:

Any ideas of what would look good with my ring and a good retailer to choose?

Thanks!!

Such a lovely ring . What are the stats...diamond size? If you did a channel set you would not need a spacer. Head to your nearest Tiffany's and check out their bands. It looks like the band on your ering is channel set, why not have a matching band made or you could do baguettes and rounds. I would think to keep it under 1ctw and the same width as your ering..

Pretty ring!!

I would probably opt for something simple as a wedding band if it were me. I'd want that baby to shine!

Something with channel set baguettes perhaps? I adore the garland band but I do think it might overwhelm your ring. You can always get it and wear it on your right hand later?

I'm thinking something like one of these:

http://www.bluenile.com/au/baguette-round-diamond-platinum-ring_8014 If you want something with alternating rounds and baguettes?

But given your engagement ring is so unique, I'd definitely go and try some bands on and see what you like with it. I was adamant I would have a plain band but it just looked wrong with my ring...

I like missy cats idea of going with bagettes. Not too big I think as your engagement ring is gorgeous and I wouldn't want to upstage it. Good luck!

Hi,

The stats of my ring are a 1.03 ct cushion center and the baguettes are about .33 each. Not sure of the exact stats on the melee, but the total carat weight is around 1.9.

Our budget is 5k and I was hoping to get something substantial enough to look good alone, but didn't over power my ring. Maybe that just isn't possible and I should spend 1-2k on a band and then get the garland or another band for fun.

Ah, decisions. I will try some on and take pics maybe and update.

That's a great idea! Then you can wear the eternity on your right hand on days you feel like wearing your e-ring and when you don't you can wear it with your wedding band or by itself!
