opinion on engagement setting

[helloall212]

Hi, just wondering if this is a bad setting to go with a wedding band? I saw on the forums some settings don't go well together with the band. Is this one of them?

Some women prefer an engagement ring that allows a wedding band to sit "flush" next to it - that is, that the e-ring and wedding ring sort of fit next to each other without a sizeable gap. A wedding ring would sit flush next to this ring, so in that sense it would fit well with a wedding ring. (The small gaps created where the shank tapers towards the head don't count for this discussion. )

EDIT - ON SECOND THOUGHT... I took a look at the "rotate" option and realized that the prongs on this ring could interfere with a traditional flush fit, particularly with larger stones. If a flush fit is important to you, you might want to ask the sales associate whether this ring style combined when used with the diamond you've selected will allow for a flush fit. If not, you might want to consider a wedding ring with a slight contour, or another setting.

The thread Nala posted about her ring shows an example of a wedding set in which the wedding ring does not sit flush against the engagement ring. Again, some women like the two rings to sit flush against each other, other women don't care or prefer rings that do not conform to each other. It's all a matter of personal preference.

The diamond size should be around 1.3 round. Actually I was concerned whether the setting and wedding band would scratch each other

Get the same metal for both. Should be okay. But there will be a gap.
