thoughts on a fitted wedding ring?

[lucyh]

there''s a very pretty fitted band that goes with my ring. thoughts on having them fitted?

 

[Cind11]

What do you mean by fitted? Do you mean soldering them together?

 

[lucyh]

they ''nestle'' together - the wedding band has a curve in it.

I think that the only real downfall to a fitted band is that you can't wear it alone without it looking weird. Actually, that and the possibility that if the wedding band and e-ring spin, they might not be lined up properly all the time -- which would bother me. But, they do look great with the e-ring....

Do you have a picture of what you have in mind? It depends on the design. My original wedding band was a chevron which constantly spun. I just got a curved band that fits a different e-ring and it doesn't spin at all. You could have them soldered together but I never did. The other thing would be to get a diamond or plain band to wear those times you just want a band. To be honest, I always wear a set. It's personal preferance really. I was wearing my ring with a regular diamond band, but the curved one I got looks so perfect, I don't know why I didn't go that route before. Do you have a pic of your e-ring? That would help with opinions. Some styles look better with different bands.

I also anticipate wearing them together all the time. I am very active though. are you?

Trying again with the picture. <

Here you go.

That would be perfect! This is mine- I bought the ring off someone but it looks custom made. I have a friend that has a ring like yours and her band is curved as well. It looks perfect. You could go to a local store and try on the curved bands to see if you like it. If the band is made for your ring it should look perfect.

Do you ever take your engagement ring off?

Actually, I LOVE that curved diamond band, and I have seen people wear rings like that alone and I think it can be a very beautiful look. (In fact, my nephew's wife, an adorable 20-something [ has an oval solitaire e-ring with a curved diamond w-ring very similar to that one you posted, and she frequently wears it [her w-band] alone.) It's simply lovely, and can certainly "hold its own" without the e-ring.

Think about it... ring settings come in all kinds of curvy and swirly styles... so I don't think there's any reason to worry about wearing that one (alone).

well, since you asked... LOL My own personal OPINION (and that''s all it is of course) is that diamond or no diamond, the wedding ring should hold the place of honor... now that doesn''t mean you can''t have an engagement ring, just that I think wedding rings should not be secondary to them. They should stand alone.

hi Lucy,
I really like your ring and the matching band! I have a solitaire with a curved band. I like how they fit perfectly together and are a matched set. I like things that match. However, the spinning of the wedding band is a little annoying especially in cooler weather. I look down at my ring and readjust it pretty often. I used to think my curved band looked strange alone, but I don''t think so anymore after seeing the Niwaka bands that are curved also and are intended to be worn alone.

In your situation, I would probably get the matching band and if it is spinning a lot, get them soldered.

I love your ring by the way!

I know the ring you are talking about, I think.. Your ring was the ring everyone had for me to try on when I was looking for my ring.. They didn''t have mine but they always showed me yours and said "this is close!".. I ended up with a signed pieces eternity band..
I had nothing against curved bands really, except you cant wear them by themselves (my ering is in right now for re-plating so I''m wearing my band solo).. Also. my MIL has a curved band but she NEVER has her rings lined up properly and it drives me wacky.. but I did try some on and I liked the way they looked with my ring. I just didn''t think I''d like wearing them long term..

 

[MelissaSue]

oh no! thats a different band than the one I was thinking of! There were two other matching bands for that ring.. that one is the NICEST of them all.. I wish it would show what the band looks like alone face up though..

 

[MelissaSue]

Oh.. now that I am taking a closer look.. That band is not shown with the ring you are looking at..its a different three stone ring.. It would probably be OK, but you might want to have a jewler call and check with a jaffe that they will actually fit together perfectly..

I do not recommend wearing two rings on one finger. They will wear on each other, eventually wearing themselves to thin slivers at the bottom of the shank. If you feel you must receive two rings to symbolize the steps of the relationship then get the two rings and solder them together once you are married. You will find if they are not soldered together they will constantly be shifting on each other and not correctly aligned. My suggestion is to find one spectacular ring and forget the second.
