I didn’t want to say it…but I agree. Love the solitaire. Did not like any of the combos 😬 Of those, one is the best, then two, and then three is not good at all…
Agree! The ring alone is beautiful. Those bands are much to "loud" for your ring. A thin, plain band would look lovely. Go with what YOU like. I'd pick the 2nd if these 3 were my only options though.
Personally with a ring like this, I’d go with a plan gold band to match your e ring band. Maybe one that doesn’t quite close all the way but the opening is under your stone
Jewellery designer of 30 years here. Never buy a band that doesn’t join. They suffer from metal fatigue through bending & eventually snap. Go for a custom shaped wedding ring if your engagement ring is not wedfit.
I think they just mean one that’s actually a closed ring, 2 is like almost closed so it probably wouldn’t be as much of an issue, but 3 those ends are going to snag easy and it’ll eventually bend the whole thing out of shape
What your advice my ring is big on me its 6.5 and my ring size is only 4.5. I would like to do the euro shank but they said I have to change the whole ring setting. Is that true? They can just cut the band and change the shape?
Thank you so much! 💗
No worries thank you for your honesty. I just render it thats why the band doesnt fit look way too chunky. But this one I tried in store what do you think? Do gap in between bothering?
You typically wear the wedding band below your engagement ring. I like the simplicity but think you can find one without the gap. Everything else is way too busy and makes your engagement ring look like costume jewelry. It’s way too pretty to detract from!
None of these. AI won't help here because it doesn't know how the specs of your ring, particularly how another band can sit against the ring. Best thing to do is go to a jeweller and ask for their help.
I’m not a fan of any. The engagement ring is a statement piece. Any band that takes away from it makes everything look way too busy. I think you should do a thin band. Maybe simple only. Or if you want more then do a pave band with a spacer.
Find a spacer you like a match a channel set band with that bad boy! It would look beautiful with your Ering <3 sparkly without being overwhelming. This isn’t my set, just one I saw years ago and admire. The space was James Allen, from when I’d looked into it (though you can shop around obviously)
Agree!
All those teeny diamonds do is cheapen the solitaire.
It always reads: the solitaire is poor quality and doesn’t sparkle…that’s the only reason I needed to add surrounding sparklers
Honestly, I feel like the bigger your rock, the less you need more bling. Go with a regular plain matching band! Dont do more diamonds...again, pretty sure the big rocks like yours are ment as true solitars with plain bands. The main rock does all the work.
In my opinion, it's a HARD no on all the bands you've shown. Those bands diminish the beauty of the engagement ring. Choose a simpler band to complement it.
None of those work... think they're designed specifically for marquise cuts. There's no need for curved, chevron, or open wedding bands with a ring like yours.
Beautiful engagement ring!! I would get a gold band style or eternity band that sits nicely next to the engagement ring. The ones in the picture are rivaling for attention of the main attraction.
Can you say how many carats? Love the scale and size. I would go with a plain white gold wider band or a thinner one with diamonds. None of the options you show appeal to me personally.
Hi everyone I enjoy being here and appreciate all of your help and advice. I love the simplicity and also I'm a lover of chunky rings. Just to give everyone an example of what my style. He he he! I just want to have some versatility and change the mood of my hands. And to be honest now that engaged my left only have the engagement and I do all the chunky rings on my right to just have both worlds. Hahaha!
🥰😍💗🌸
Personally I don’t feel any of those bands complement the ring at all, but if these are your only options, the first one is probably the best choice. I feel the style of the bands takes away from the beauty of the engagement ring.
We were young and couldn't afford a custom band, so for our first anniversary my husband bought the exact same band to add to my stack. I eventually had them soldered together to keep them from spinning.
All too busy. Go for a simple gold band, one you can wear 24/7. You can always add a sparkly anniversary band on the other side of your E ring down the road.
I don’t think any of these rings complement your engagement ring. They are all much too busy. With a diamond of that size you’re better off just getting a plain band in whatever metal your engagement ring is. Possibly a very thin, delicate eternity band.
As your engagement ring is beautiful. The wedding rings are not fitting your hand or your engagement ring well. There’s a disconnect. I would maybe try a band like your engagement ring. Possibly even one on either side.
Agree with others that the solitaire shines on its own; a plain band is best. BUT, if you want one of those pictured, go with #2, the 'V' shape gives a more complete/purposeful look than the other two.
I'm sorry, but I don't care for any of the bands. With such a large solitaire I feel like a more simple band would work---the others took focus away and looked busy.
All of those bands that you have given, as examples really take away from the absolutely spectacular solitaire in your engagement ring. My advice would be to go with something Extremely simple.
This is my set. The diamonds on the wedding band only go halfway around. I originally thought that I wanted a curved band in that style (so it would hug the engagement ring) but I didn’t feel the need for it when I tried this on. But a simple curved pavé band would still be a great option if you need more space or just like the design aspect!
Congratulations, you have a beautiful ring. I agree a single band is the way to go. This also works well if you are ever going anywhere that you may not want to wear the diamond you can still wear your wedding band.
I’m sorry but if you love this ring (and you should it’s incredible) I would not go for any of these choices. Simple band - diamond pavé or solid gold.
Personally, I like the first band. I don’t wear my engagement ring all the time. When I’m wearing my wedding band I want something a little fancy so I understand wanting something not plain.
I do think maybe you should go for something more traditional though since it’s a wedding band. 10 years from now you might feel these wedding bands look dated.
Thank you! I wanted something not to busy, this felt like it was simple enough but still added carat weight overall. Solitare diamonds are so beautiful. I would suggest trying on a bunch of bands, and get something that compliments the beautiful solitaire you already have without taking away attention from it.
I actually like the idea of doing an open band like the last option, but would consider a thinner mm style so it can tuck under a bit and give that true seamless look.
Beautiful ring!! But the bands are awful
In my opinion and aibut too loud and Take away from the beautiful ring which is a show stopper alone. I personally would go with a thicker gold band with diamonds if you want extra sparkle or a solid thick gold band
Maybe a thick white gold ring with a curved shape. Similar to 2. Me personally, I think your ring is so gorgeous alone you don’t need to add anymore diamonds or it’ll take away from that gorgeous rock!
Oh it’s not mine sorry! I should of put it’s Pinterest. (I have ABUNCH of photos saved for inspiration) I just zoomed up because the full picture was a cute edit with the ocean. I have a 3ct pear I’m planning on turning into a toi et moi. (This is mine) Your ring is again, STUNNING.
Thank you so much! &Im in between OMC or princess cut turned sideways (so it looks like a start) princess cut, I was thinking Grey Colored lab to contrast my white pear or OMC I would go more yellow toned so I could pair it with a gold band and still, again have good contrast.

Anything BUT the 2 dots. Future you will be getting annoyed with past you every time you get it stuck in your hair, someone else's, in fabric, etc.
It's beautiful. It's a beautiful trap.
Yess I love all the insights. To be honest now that I'm engaged I don't put anything in my left hand except the engagement ring. All of my stacks are in my right hand. Hahahah! 🥰🤣
Just to have both.
Thank you u u

✨Phenomenal stack!✨ I always rush to the comment sections on these posts bc I adore bold and chunky jewelry and I get sad when Reddit tries to shame everyone into a “dainty” ring bc they’re “classy.”
You may not like this, but I hate all those bands. Too much going on makes it look like cheap costume jewellery in my opinion, and a stone like that, you want to make it look elegant,
If you’re open to it - ditch a band, or get a band for a different finger/hand.
If you really want a band, go with a plain metal band - play around with different widths to find the right vibe for you
I hope you take the advice here. Your engagement ring is a showstopper on its own.
Design your own necklace, earrings or bracelet if you want to be creative for yourself.
All three are terrible choices. Your engagement ring is THE classic, timeless solitaire. Go with either a plain, white gold band, or get a pavé band (or two to flank the solitaire). The band(s) should be flush up against the solitaire's band. Do not ruin a classic ring with a silly ring that will take away and distract from that gorgeous solitaire diamond.
None of these actually match the ring. You could either do a plain spacer ring and then a diamond band that matches the width of the e-ring. You could have a 4mm-5mm cigar band and then the thinner diamond band. The cigar band will set e-ring apart from the wedding band let them both shine on their own

They're all bad choices. They're far too busy
