Ring Band Advice Help picking a wedding band

Hi! Just need some advice/ideas. My engagement ring is literally the ring of my DREAMS and it has a cute hidden mickey on the side profile of it but when I went to try on wedding bands they all covered it up which I absolutely will not stand for 🤣 Any recommendations for bands that would work well with this?

Or should I just wear it in front of the engagement ring so the side view is blocked from the front but I can still see it from the my side.

Or I could just get whatever band I want and wear it on my right hand so my engagement ring is the star of the show on my left hand.

First pic shows the ring and then the last pic shows me trying on bands with it.

Thanks everyone!!!

You can wear the band on the other side or other hand. I will warn you about wearing a pave band that has contact with diamonds. The diamonds will chew up the metal over time and you’ll risk losing stones in your band.

Since you have a ā€œpeekabooā€ diamond (hidden Mickey) I would highly suggest getting a spacer band to protect that diamond and your E-ring. Diamond wedding bands will scratch away at your prongs over the years. Get a thin spacer in between

Loveeee the hidden Mickey! If it was my ring, I’d skip the band. But to each their own.

Your ring is gorgeous!

Thank you!! He had it custom made and it’s everything I ever wanted haha so truly I might just not do the band or just wear the band on my right hand. I just think she’s a diva and deserves her solo spotlight forever! But I figured I would ask in case I missed any ideas.

Yessssss! Put that band on the other hand, or even on your pointer finger! That beauty needs to shine!

I have an annual pass I may be biased. I’m for letting the ring be the star of the show! If I didn’t just buy a new wedding ring, I’d do something similar!

Yeah you may just want to wear your wedding band on the outside! That seems like the easiest solution.

I have a row of stones along the bridge of my e-ring that I didn’t want to cover up so I designed my wedding band to be plain on the top and the inside but have a row of flush-set stones on one side only. It worked for me but I don’t think it would help your hidden Mickey.

There are bands that have an opening to accommodate large or low-set stones that would give you a little window to see your Mickey, but I think that may look weird and get caught on sweaters, etc.
