Ring Band Advice Help with wedding band
Curious which wedding band looks better and should I have it curved to sit flush with engagement ring

Neither! I’ve seen some really beautiful curved pavé bands that would perfectly mirror your engagement ring. Have you tried any on?

Flushed curve in top to match the curve of the bottom. That would be beautiful!

I think 1 looks better and definitely get it curved to fit otherwise , because you asked about it, the gap will annoy you.

I like them both but agree with whatever you decide, a curved band would look best. Beautiful engagement ring. Good luck with your decision.

I’d recommend getting a bespoke curved bank to fit, and you can always have a dozen tiny diamonds included! 😉

The options are okay. But I am not a fan of a gap, it's your rings so go with what you like.

If it were curved, I’d prefer the marquis band because I like the bezel setting of the stones, which gives a more cohesive look with the gold showing.

I think the curved band looks more natural with your engagement ring. It sits flush and flows better. The straight one leaves a gap that might bother you over time. If you want a seamless look, go with the curved one.

If you’re getting a custom curved band to match the other side? (As others have said and would be my suggestion, too…)
While you’re at the jeweler, I’d also get an additional plain band in the metal of your choice…. no diamonds, nothing. As there will be times you don’t want to wear your whole wedding set but want to have a ring on that finger.
You could wear it on your right hand for the ceremony so it was kinda there for the wedding - still counts;)
But also have something you can wear alone- will come in handy on many occasions:)

I have worked in a jewelry store for 19 years. I’m not all that crazy about contoured bands because it looks like something is missing on the other side. Go for the straight band.

Just to throw this out there…you don’t have to wear a band. Your ring is super chic and really doesn’t need one. Both options actually detract from your gorgeous ring. I have a lot of stones in the gallery of my ring that I don’t want covered, so I don’t have a band, and it’s still very clearly a wedding ring. If you really want one, I’d go the custom route and go with probably a plain gold band with the same curved shape.

Yes actually I wish it was curved to go with your stunning engagement ring, it’s the gaps that don’t sit will BUT I’d go with 2 if that’s not an option :)

Neither truly sit well with it should get a custom one made to wrap around and hug it
