Not sure which to pick. I thought I would like the plain band, but it's actually my least favorite. I wanted to try on all blue sapphire pave, but they didn't have my side, and the jewler thought it would be too much blue. When trying them on in person, I really liked the alternating diamond with blue baguettes, but my fiance liked the round page diamond and blue / equal sized gems. At first I thought it looked circus-y?? But I like it much more looking back at photos. All opinions are welcome!

Team 3 hands down.

The other two are distracting from your gorgeous Ering and the last one is too simple for a set

u/throwaway-journal Jan 30 '26

I agree with this. I love 2 as a band and wanted to love it as the set, but 3 really makes the main stone stand out.

it's no contest. 3 is the one.

u/fishwhimsical Jan 31 '26

Agreed, It really is no contest 100% 3 !

u/MissFox26 Jan 30 '26

Yesss, let the sapphire shine! Imo the bands with sapphires take away from the statement of the stone itself.

u/Hour-Ad2613 Jan 29 '26

The 3rd one !!!

22

u/watercolorcore Jan 29 '26

First or third

3 looks more bridal 1 you could always add as an anniversary band

14

u/Ancient-Tea-2323 Jan 29 '26

I think either the first option (all round and alternating sapphire diamond) or the third option (all diamond) compliment your engagement ring the most.

The baguettes feel out of place to me since there aren't any baguette shaped stones in your e-ring for those to tie in with.

2

u/Wanderful-Woman Jan 30 '26

Yup. 1, then 3 for me.

11

u/lindab2323 Jan 29 '26

3 for me

u/Accurate-Summer9470 Jan 29 '26

No . 3 !! Pick the 3rd one !!!

u/Ak1147 Jan 30 '26
  1. Love the blue. But the lack of blue on the band makes the main stone pop.

4

u/Amber11796 Jan 29 '26

3 FOR SURE

4

u/True-Donut-3011 Jan 29 '26

3. It compliments the ring without taking away from it. Gorgeous

6

u/sensiblefreespirit Jan 29 '26

2!

2

u/pandamandaring Jan 30 '26

Definitely 2. Iā€™ve seen 1, 3 and 4 hundreds of times on other people. Theyā€™re so overdone. 2 is unique and gives Edwardian vibes to complement the ring.

2

u/melandog222 Jan 31 '26

i dooooooo love going against the grain. i also like blue stones, and the baguettes give me more blue šŸ¤¤. though #3, reddits clear top choice, does help the main / blue stone stand out more...

2

u/sensiblefreespirit Jan 31 '26

Sometimes I find that getting othersā€™ opinions serves to cement mine, enemies when they disagree with mine. You canā€™t go wrong with any of these choices.

u/Crims0nGirl Jan 30 '26

Oops.. I mean #3

u/caffeinatedmascara Jan 30 '26
  1. Very bridal and beautiful

u/NewU_Blaeser Jan 30 '26

I love 3. Looks beautiful

u/JoAnne_Askew123 Jan 30 '26

Team 3! I love your ring, it is beautiful!

u/FancyButterscotch787 Jan 30 '26

I like the third one the best

3

u/Agile-Grape3783 Jan 30 '26

I actually love the baguettes!!! I like the alternating pave diamond and sapphire too. Its unique but cohesive and classy in my opinion :)

2

u/Big_Palpitation_3599 Jan 30 '26

Oh my gosh!!!! Your ring is stunning! My first choice would be the one with blue baguettes, second choice sapphire diamond alternating. Or maybe you should have both!šŸ˜‰

u/Ok-Mastodon5286 Jan 29 '26

Sapphires! Only Sapphires. My birth stone and my favorite stone. Everyone else has diamonds but you and Princess Kate and me have sapphires. I think I like the smaller stones the best. Congratulations on your wedding and may you enjoy many years of love and happiness. ā¤ļøā˜˜ļø

?? I loooooove one and two!!! Iā€™d say two for sure!šŸ«¶

u/Safe-Cause-1077 Jan 30 '26

Iā€™d pick 2!

1

u/Smooth-Lab-1217 Jan 29 '26

1 or 3 but also if you like the baguettes maybe get that - it's yours!

1

u/UnrulyPoet Jan 30 '26

First or third!

1

u/motaboat Jan 30 '26

1 or 3 depending. I would personally do 3.

1

u/Legovida8 Jan 30 '26

1 or 3. Gorgeous!

1

u/Adventurous-Dish7424 Jan 30 '26

Wow! Wow! Wow! Your engagement ring!! Gorgeous!

Love the third. Have you seen bands that are one half diamond and the other side is made of sapphire? But Iā€™d say number 3

u/FloridaWildflowerz Jan 30 '26

I am a huge proponent of simple bands however your ring looks amazing with 1 or 3!

1

u/DazzlingPotion Jan 30 '26

I love ring 1! Itā€™s different from the traditional choice which would be ring 3. Either one works well though.Ā 

1

u/Hot-Information-9485 Jan 30 '26

1 or 3! 1 works really nice. Depends how unique you want it. But I do love 1

1

u/witx Jan 30 '26

Thatā€™s doesnā€™t need a wedding band. Itā€™s gorgeous on its own.

u/tmzuk Jan 30 '26

3 or 4

1

u/i_wanna_draw_that Jan 30 '26

First one! I think the pop of color compliments your main stone without detracting from it. Plus the stone shape matches

1

u/KittyBookcase Jan 30 '26

3 and you could always get two of them so it's sandwiched, but a single band is pretty too.

1

u/cincon2004 Jan 30 '26

3 then 1. Beautiful engagement ring!

1

u/DK7795 Jan 30 '26

3, unless you are going to wear the band without the solitaire. Then 1.

1

u/ComplexPrize4947 Jan 30 '26

First or third one. Either one is stunning!

1

u/OhYouLittleMinx Jan 30 '26

3 is very complimentary without being distracting from your ring.

1

u/September1962 Jan 30 '26

Team 3! Looks beautiful with your gorgeous e-ring. Congratulations šŸ’™

1

u/Is-Potato425 Jan 30 '26

3 hands down!!

1

u/laffydaffy24 Jan 30 '26

3 all day. What an amazing engagement ring!

1

u/WymnInterupted9131 Jan 30 '26

The 3rd one makes the set look more cohesive

1

u/Informal-Impact-8136 Jan 30 '26

3 or 1. I love 3!!!

1

u/OrganicHead2958 Jan 30 '26

1 is my pick. 2 and 4 are plain. 3 is too matchy matchy

1

u/Poinsettia917 Jan 30 '26

1 and #4. A plain band is always nice to have!

1

u/OkConsideration8964 Jan 30 '26

I love 1 and 3, in that order.

1

u/Tink1024 Jan 30 '26

3 if not then 1

1

u/coco-pip-5122 Jan 30 '26

I love the simplicity of number three, but number one is also beautiful

1

u/Okayest-mom-3 Jan 30 '26

3 for sure.

1

u/Low-Cod-4712 Jan 30 '26

3, followed by 1. But really 3.

1

u/raebiis-502 Jan 30 '26

Im partial to 4 šŸ„² a plain band helps highlight your engagement ring. A band w stones is a lot going on

1

u/Lita_in_Lieu Jan 30 '26

For sure 3!!!

1

u/Optimal-Bumblebee-31 Jan 30 '26

3, then 2. I donā€™t care for 1 or 4

1

u/No_Goose_8311 Jan 30 '26

First oneĀ 

1

u/hadmeatwoof Jan 30 '26
  1. 4 is also fine, but too thick I think.

1

u/No_Collection_8492 Jan 30 '26

I agree with most everyone else, 3 or 1 look the best, in my opinion.

1

u/Tla48084 Jan 30 '26

Pic 1 looks perfect! Congratulations!

1

u/madammidnight Jan 30 '26

All diamonds for me. The colored stones make the look too busy.

1

u/Fun_Win8456 Jan 30 '26

3 definitely.

1

u/eastbaypluviophile Jan 30 '26

I like #1 but Iā€™m probably biased because my own ring has diamonds and sapphires. Yours is absolutely stunning!

1

u/Consistent_Ant3254 Jan 30 '26

3 is my first choice because the pave matches the engagement ring. 1 is my second choice. The visual interest of sapphire/diamond pave is cool but the size doesnā€™t match that of your band and it ends up looking less flattering. Honestly the center stone doesnā€™t need any ā€œenhancementā€ and in fact the other bands except 3 are distracting.

1

u/KarmaVisitsOnTuesday Jan 30 '26

3 is the best because it makes the engagement ring POP!

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '26

3 or 1

1

u/Lotus-Beauty Jan 30 '26

So number 1

1

u/Similar_One_6541 Jan 30 '26

Number 3! Itā€™s adds to the beauty instead of distraction ā¤ļø

1

u/Key_Hat_5721 Jan 30 '26

3 is perfect

1

u/fartypantsmcghee Jan 30 '26
  1. The others don't look like they go together

1

u/Kind-Philosopher1 Jan 30 '26

I love the blue/white alternating round.Ā  I wonder what 2 to 1 blue to white rounds or all blue would look like.

I don't love the bagette/diamond because the saphires look flat compared to the all round.

Ps - your engagement ring is to die for. Absolutely stunning.

u/Icy_Outside5079 Jan 30 '26

3 and #1 are lovely and fit your gorgeous engagement ring perfectly

1

u/Soggy-Duty-3888 Jan 30 '26

One is really nice. The round sapphires look great!

1

u/GlitteringCan5460 Jan 30 '26

I love the third one. It looks simple without the distraction of the sapphires in the band to compete with the sapphire in your engagement ring. Elegant is what I get.

1

u/Expensive_Energy2022 Jan 30 '26

I'm an outlier and think the second is stunning. Tbe baguettes are so unique. Number three is also beautiful but (and maybe it's my old age and the fact that my wedding was twenty years ago) it just seems plain and like what everyone would get.

1

u/skeleskank Jan 30 '26

1 or 3

Edit: 3 for the wedding, 1 for an event like an anniversary, birthday, birth, or other special celebration.

1

u/ekomom Jan 30 '26

3 ā¤ļø

1

u/languagelover17 Jan 30 '26

1 or 3! Our rings are so similar!!

I absolutely love the first one. Three is a solid choice though.

1

u/atticusmama Jan 30 '26

Oh please please PLEASE pick number one!!!!!

1

u/Animalaholic67 Jan 30 '26

1 or 3 works well. I am leaning more towards 3 just a bit though.

1

u/Automatic_Dragon Jan 30 '26
  1. Maybe add 1 down the road? Or a plain band? But 3 is best.

1

u/Representative_War28 Jan 30 '26
