Hi guys!

So I''ve been doing some trying on of different wedding bands to see what height/width looks best with my ER. I''ve decided that it can''t be too low and it can''t be too high... 1.5 mm high to maybe 2 mm at the most! So here is what I''m thinking... Below is a picture of my ER and I will then attach a couple different wedding bands I''m looking into... Would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!
LV

1.) Single Stone Rose Gold

2.) Single Stone platinum eternity, would probably do two of these since they are so thin.

3.) Single Stone bands - I'd go with two of these bands, unattached, and in rose gold

4.) Last one, Leon Mege Marina eternity bands...

Looking forward to hearing your expert opinions!!

Your e-ring is lovely!

I vote #2 -- either that or #4 seem to mimic the halo most. I''m a matchy sort.
 
Yeah, def #2
 
Another vote for #2.
 
I think #2 would go the best but I really like #1
 
I, too, am a matchy sort, and the Leon wins it for me hands down.

Lovely to see your gorgeous e-ring again!
 
2 or 4.
 
2 or 4 gets my vote
 
Definitely #2.
 
#2!
 
2 or 4... I really like 4! Sometimes having a not-matchy matchy set just looks phenom, and i think this would be one of those cases!
 
So 2 and 4 clearly are the front runners! My front runners were 1 and 4... Do you think the number 1 option would look bad? I think I''ve grown more fond of it since I posted this last night! I am a fan of the non-matchy look, but I also like the two rings to complement each other... You know? I could get that first bezel set in white gold ... Would that change any of your minds? :)

This is the info for sizing that I received from Ari at Single Stone:

#1 is 2.3mm wide and 1.5-1.6mm height. These bands are all hand made and therefore there is always a slight variance. The height can slightly vary with the finger size.

#2 is 1.6mm wide 1.7mm height. (can be ordered with a lower profile)

#3 This is basically three of the #1 bands connected. It would be 4-4.5mm wide and 1.5-1.5mm in height in a two row.
Also, I asked Leon for a quote on #4 early this week and I haven''t heard back... Is that normal?
 
I also like the bezel round band of #1 as well. I think it will complement your ering nicely

1.) Single Stone Rose Gold
I love this option!
 
I love 4 but 2 will do. Your ring is gorgeous...I think rose gold would distract too much from your
engagement ring. Just too much competition on what to look at when it should obviously be
your engagement ring.

Have you seen brooklyngirl''s set? https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/oec-milgrained-bezel-3-4-eternity-from-ss.105313/ . The shape of her ering is similar to yours and she has a singlestone bezel band. I think it''s really pretty.

I do love #4 though.
After looking at brooklyngirl''s thread I am with you on creating a contract with the wedding band...Although, my first impression is I LIKE THEM ALL! You have not picked an ''ugly'' in the bunch

I like 2. It matches the best, and I am a matchy, symmetrical person.
 
I like number one in white metal. It''s probably thin enough to look good with your ering without being exactly matchy.
 
I''m gonna go against the grain and vote for #1! I *love* the non-matchy look!!!

HI:

I "think" you should try as many on as you can, before buying without seeing. I bought the lovely WF 5 stone band online and it is a nice ring--but not a great fit or match to my ER. Post facto, I went to Tiffany''s and found a curved diamond band that was the "best" in every perspective. Happy hunting!

cheers--Sharon
 
#2 would look best. So, I would get that one. But, you know, #1 is sooo cute and I love rose gold, that it would have to be purchased also as a "fun" alternative to the #2 ring that you would get. lol

Ah... I know... You are so right!! But my dilemma is that I love Single Stone and Leon Mege, but live in Minnesota... What to do?!?!? I doubt we would plan a trip just to go try on a ring... Any suggestions?!?

And thanks to all of you for your thoughtful insights!!! I''m still pretty unsure about which option I love best. I really do agree with Sharon though that I need to try them on to be confident with my decision. I love the idea of number one, and I do think it would look good, but you never know until you try it on. I tried on a shared prong eternity band with 10 pointers and it surprisingly didn''t complement my ER at all. :-\ What to do, what to do...
 
What I think looks great with a ring like yours, with a more curvy shape, is to balance it out with a thinner right next to the engagement ring (like #2 or the Leon Mege) AND getting the rose gold band (#1) and wearing at the very back.. I am afraid you are going to have to get two, LVFdoll

. At the very least, save one for your first anniversary- they are great to stack!
 
I vote 4 but I''m partial to stacking rings. Good luck!
