Wedding band help!

Wedding band help! 1
Wedding band help! 2

Hello! I need unbiased opinions haha! I can’t decide what style of wedding band looks better with my engagement ring. My fiancé picked this engagement ring and I find it very unique, haven’t seen any others like it, which makes it more difficult to find a band.


A few weeks ago, I was visiting AZ and tried on the first band at a farmers market because I like the traditional style of band. I didn’t buy it because I want actual white gold and not silver. Then I went to the same jewelry store where my fiancé bought the engagement ring and found the ‘curved’ band. I am torn and feel like I have to decide soon since we are getting married 9/25/21. However, I want to love the ring I buy and not just get it because it “fits” - if that makes sense. I tried looking on Etsy but am afraid to order something custom made and then not like it when it gets delivered. Help!

    I personally love the first one, but everyone here always disagrees with me lmao. I think they are both beautiful.

    I think the look of the stones in the first band go better with the stones in your engagement ring, but the curvature of the second band really makes your engagement ring pop, especially with it being such a unique piece, and in my opinion makes the two pieces look better together.

    I think the 1st one matches better.

    I prefer the curved one. I like the traditional one but the gap between the two rings would drive me crazy.

    Are you able to have a local jeweler (or the one where you got the ring) make a customized ring?

    I like both! I have a curved band for my ring since the setting doesn't fit well with a regular band. The first one goes with the stones in your engagement ring, but the curved band fits a little better with your ring. What does your FH think?

    Yes! That’s why I think I’m torn btw the two, one has the perfect stone size but the curved band is also unique as the engagement ring.

    The gap also drives me nuts and I’m not even wearing it… yet… I’ve been told I can have them permanently attached but I also want the option of just wearing one or the other if I feel like it. Thanks for your input!

    I honestly think you should go with the second one. That band really accents your engagement ring, makes it pop and creates a beautiful unique look with both pieces together!

    I think the first band matches looks wise best. Like the stones and setting match. But I think the second fits better and looks more comfortable. Is it possible to go back to the store and ask if they have any other curved bands to match with your ring?

    I think I agree with the others, the stones of the first band matches your engagement ring better, but I prefer the curve of the second band.

    Could you work with a local jeweller to create a curved band which uses similar sized stones to that? Personally I hate a gap and that is what would put me off, but if it doesn't bother you then you might as well go for a straight band!

    I have the 2nd band so I’m a little biased, lol. But, I don’t love either one. When we were looking for mine I struggled finding one I liked. We went to a jeweler and they said it I got a plain gold ring, no gems, they could form it to fit perfectly with my e-ring. That could be an option if you arent happy with a gap. I don’t remember it being too much extra on top of the cost of the ring.
    You could then get a “fancier” ring with gems for wearing by itself. If that would ever be something you wanted to do.

    I like this suggestion, but also not sure on cost. As most of the other posters have said, the shape of the second is perfect but the stone size in option 1 is better.

    The do have bands that have a void of diamonds and just a thin strip of the metal so it can slid under unique spots like the one your ring has!
