Another non-matchy set

[caribqueen]

It's been difficult for me to find a wedding band I liked that complimented my engagement ring without busting our budget. I think I've settled on this and my intent was for the band to not match perfectly, but to look good with the e-ring. The diamonds in the wedding band are a bit bigger than the ones in the e-ring. I'm also thinking of adding a princess and round stackable eternity to the middle of the two rings for a different look.

The e-ring center is a princess cut at .77 ctw with 30 pave diamonds on all three sides at .20 ctw
The wedding band from James Allen has 21 pave diamonds at .42 ctw (they're also better cut then the diamonds on the e-ring)

EDIT: both rings are platinum

Here goes:

Thanks everyone.

I forgot to include:
The center stone is G VS2 with I diamonds in the band
The diamonds in the wedding band are F-G and oh so sparkly. I wish my e-ring was as sparkly.

Thats the most "Matchy" "Non-matching" set I have seen thus far! They are gorgeous together! Congrats!

 

[joelly]

Wow, it is very pretty. Eventhough it is not meant to match but I think its definitely a match by accident. It is very lovely. It must be sparkle like crazy. Congrats!!!!!

I think they look wonderful together, and if you aren''t happy with your e-ring, do you think that you could change the diamonds out in the future?

I can live with it for now - don''t want to cause my FI any grief. I already upgraded the center stone and don''t want him to feel terrible. He promises me future upgrades when we have more $ and I can wait until then.
