Hi—this is my first post here, and I was hoping to hear your seasoned input. We will be getting wedding bands soon, and I was wondering if any of you had advice on what kind of band would work well with my engagement ring. The ring is platinum (10% iridium) with a 1ct diamond, size 6, width 2.4mm tapering to 1.8, band height about 2 mm. It’s low-set but with open gallery, and bands will sit flush with it if the edges are thin (like a domed band). I’m curious about what style, thickness, metal you’d think would be nice with it.
Some info: I’m open to platinum or 14k yellow gold, though I heard mixing metals was not recommended for durability of the rings. Does this include different platinum alloys? I am hard on my hands, so I would want a band with no stones or with stones that are very securely set. Either new or used is fine. I like unique, vintage engravings, though I’d worry about the durability of engravings with modern cast rings. My budget is up to $450.
Thanks in advance for your advice! Photos included below.
