Engagement Ring Need Recommendations/help with a wedding band! 1

Hi everyone, I have a wedding band dilemma! My ring is a unique shape, and I have had absolutely NO luck with finding a band. It is technically marquis shape, but its rounded. I'll attach a picture because it is hard to explain. My question is, does anyone have recommendations on places to try, or if you had similar issue, what did you do? I know I can send my ring off to have one specialty made but the quotes I've gotten are crazy high! I'd like to spend under $500, no diamonds or anything, just a white gold band that angles out to go around my ring. Thanks in advance!!

Edit- there are prongs in the setting under the diamonds, so a regular band won't fit under it.

Try Meander Works on Etsy! She does custom bands and she's so easy to work with.

Do you have a jewelry district close to you? Or even smaller family owned jewelers? My ring is similar because it sits flush on my skin, so I need a custom band. I find that custom work done by smaller not chain stores is usually cheaper and better work. My band is actually currently being made.

Do you need a band? It’s a spectacular ring on its own and with the two bands interwoven, it looks like two bands in one ring.

My ring is a unique shape, so I found the best band was a VERY simple silver band. Super basic, super dainty. My ring did come with a matching set but it became so large with them, I wasn't a fan. I actually found the best ones on Etsy or Amazon.

I've thought about that a lot! I think I wouldn't mind just having one but my FH is very traditional and I want to at least attempt to find a band because he really likes the idea of having one. But if it won't work out he's okay with that too

I would honestly look at something custom (or skip the band or consider moving your engagement ring to your other hand after the wedding). I have a uniquely shaped band, thought not as extreme as yours, and ended up with an enhancer because it made the gaps between the engagement ring and the band look intentional.

I hadn’t either! My FH actually spotted it, he thought it had the right curve to compliment the ring and we could always take it apart, but when I put it one we both loved the look of the full enhancer.

I went from I want a super simple, not bling ring, to a blingy enhancer. Not what I thought I wanted but I adore it.

I agree! I think it is gorgeous on its own. I am not doing a band.

I can see wanting a band, but I'd wear them on different hands. That way you can have a band to wear on its own if you choose. That gorgeous ring doesn't need an additional band with it.
