Engaged! What type of band?

[ekr]

I recently got engaged! The ring was a total surprise. I had mentioned before that I liked an antique look. The setting is from Whitehouse Brothers. Diamond: 1.25 carats, VVS, E-F, size 5.75. It is absolutely beautiful but I think I am still adjusting to having something so ornate on my hand (I''m kind of a simple girl)! I am not sure what type of band would go well with this ring - just plain platinum or perhaps a delicate eternity band that I can wear on its own? I have been lurking on pricescope for months and thought it would be a great place for advice.

Oh LORDY. That ring is stunning. I mean, STUNNING. Congratulations. I''m in too much of a stunned state to give good advice about a band, but I guess my first idea would be wear it alone and get another band to wear on it''s own? I don''t know. Deer in the headlights.

Congratulations!

I LOVE whitehouse brothers rings - and yours is to die for!!! If you have more pics, please post them - I don''t think anyone has posted a whitehouse bros ring before (or at least that I remember).

Honestly, I think that the best match for your setting is another whitehouse bros. band - I love that they make their wedding bands custom to curve to fit perfectly with your setting. A pretty option would be to go with the plain filigree rather than filigree and diamonds.

Congrats on your engagement!!

CONGRATS on your engagement...your ring is incredible! It''s different, it''s delicate, it''s blingy...it''s WOW! I love that it was a surprise, too! He did well!!!!!
Custom curved with the same carving or pave would look great...or a simple, thin eternity would be gorgeous. Just NOTHING to take away from your beautiful ring. I''d have no trouble getting used to that!

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions!

I think the Whithouse Brother''s mathcing band would be a great option - thanks for te link. Do you think you can wear that type of band on its own or would it look incomplete without the engagement ring? These pics are a little blurry - not so great with the camera.
