Mismatched Wedding Rings

Yes, mine are really mismatched and I don't like it. I love my band but I'm very "meh" about my e-ring. The good thing is that the band is what's more important so I can always upgrade the e-ring later.

I don't see a problem with mismatch. As long as you like it, after all, your the one looking at it every day

Mine don't match. It was one of the biggest things I wanted. They are similar but not the same. I felt like anyone that had my e ring gets the same band so I wanted to be different. Here's a pic

My rings are vintage, having belonged to my grand-aunt, purchased in 1942. My engagement ring is a round brilliant solitaire, low-set basket with four double-prongs that create the illusion of a square shape, with two small flanking round brilliants. The band is a pave-set band with 7 small round brilliants. They have different styles, but nestle up against each other, and I'm totally happy with them!

My friend is choosing a diamond band for an engagement ring, and will get a non-matching complimentary band for the wedding. I really like the look she's going for... the photo of what the custom ring and 'rope' style wedding band are also below.

Get what you like, and enjoy them!

ETA: You might also want to consider getting something custom, or finding a jeweler with a wider selection of bands. We went to two local jewelers known for their customer work, and they had a huge selection of simple but interesting bands, while the 'diamond specialist' store had very little, relatively speaking....check BlueNile as well - they have some simple but pretty bands and excellent prices.

I really love some of the mismatched rings. I bought a cheap set to wear to places when I don't feel comfortable taking my diamonds (ie the beach). But! I personally wouldn't get mismatched rings for my actual set. I want them to be timeless instead of completely outdated in two years. Just my two cents.

Mine are extremely mismatched. My e-ring is a single 1-carat diamond and my wedding band is thin with 9 small emeralds. I love them each on their own, but they look weird together. I can't wear my e-ring to work, so I've just been wearing my band.

Mine are technically mismatched because my e-ring didn't have a wedding ring for it... I don't know if that counts though.

@MrsMcD - not sure what you mean about becoming 'outdated', as until the 1950's any precious ring might be an engagement ring, so by default all wedding bands and e-rings were mismatched... just saying...

I love my E-ring, but the matching band is just blah, if you know what I mean. I'm still looking on what to get exactly.

My wedding band(s) are mismatched to my e-ring. I didn't think I would even like these bands, because they are wavy and not geometric like my e-ring, but it turns out I love them!

I love the idea of mismatched rings. I also like mixing colors (rose, yellow, white)

My engagement ring is so pretty on its own that it was very difficult to find matching bands without making it look gaudy. I ended up getting a 2mm comfort band.

Nikki, I thought your rings were one piece, they do look good together..

My set is also an heirloom. Each woman in my family have made changes to it, but I didn't want to change anything. I just wanted to get a new band to wear every day. The original band I will wear for special occasions and I'll be wearing it the day of the wedding. This is my original set

I don't think any of the wedding bands match my engagement ring. It's a pear shape with 2 baguettes on each side... I could have had something made with baguettes, but I like what I chose much better.

I'm very certain that I will get mismatched ering and wedding ring. We love our wedding ring and there is no ering to match it really. But I hope to grow old and be this lady with ten to twenty mismatched rings on her fingers! so it's not a really big deal for me.

Ps I love the family rings! So jealous, my mom has beautiful rings but nothing compares to yours!

Fh picked out the diamonds and setting individually. My ering doesn't have a matching band. So technically mine will be mismatched.

My e-ring didn't have a marching band. I found a wedding band that is similar not a perfect match. I had considered having something custom made to match the curve of my e-ring, but ultimately decided I wanted something I could wear by itself too. I think if you look around you will be able to find something you really like, that looks good with your e-ring even though it isn't the matching ring.

I'm struggling with a mismatched set too. I'm still on the hunt to find a band that goes well, and FITS well, under my e-ring. Also my e-ring is silver, and I don't know if getting a white gold band would be weird. Ugh the struggle.

I have to get mine custom made because I need shadow bands. I tried my friend's band on to test and I didn't like the feeling of it not fitting together like a puzzle.

PS - @Melissa & @Nikki - I am dyyyyyyyyyying over your wedding bands. So beautiful.

@Alexis - your heirloom set seriously has me drooling. Holy crap!
