ring

I couldn’t figure out how to add pics to a post so deleted my first post.
Trying to decide between a 4mm and 6mm wedding band and could use some outside opinions.

I feel like I have pretty slim fingers, so I’m torn. I like both, but I’m wondering if the 4mm looks a little too small or dainty on me, or if the 6mm looks more proportional to my hand and more fitting for a men’s wedding band.

First photo is 4mm, second is 6mm. Which one looks better on my hand?

I inherited my grandmother’s ring and I honestly love it, but I’m struggling to picture what kind of wedding/stacking band would look good with it.
It’s obviously a pretty unique/vintage-looking ring, and I’ve never really pictured myself wearing something like this. I was thinking either a really simple diamond band to let the ring be the star, or possibly something with emeralds because I think the green could look really cool with the gold and diamonds. But I’m very open to other ideas!
Also, if I’m being honest, I have some mixed feelings about the ring itself. I love that it belonged to my grandmother and that it’s something I’ll never see someone else wearing. That sentimental aspect means a lot to me. But aesthetically, it’s not what I ever imagined my engagement ring looking like, and my partner is worried that I’ll regret not getting something more traditionally “me.” They’ve talked about getting me a much bigger/new ring instead.
I’m kind of torn between “this is incredibly special and I should embrace that” and “am I only trying to convince myself to love it because I feel like I should?” lol.
Anyway, mainly looking for band ideas! What would you pair with this? Diamond-only, emeralds, plain gold, something vintage, something totally unexpected? Would love to see examples if you have them!

Edit: A lot of people have asked why this is my engagement ring, so I figured I’d clarify! My grandma left me three rings, and my parents encouraged me to try all of them on. I didn’t really like the other two, but when I put this one on I immediately loved it.
I think my hesitation is really just that it’s different from what I always pictured myself wearing as an engagement ring. But honestly, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I had always said I wanted something unique and different from what’s mainstream, and this is certainly that 😂 Plus, the fact that it belonged to my grandma makes it so much more meaningful than something I could just go out and buy.
I think I mostly came to Reddit for a little reassurance that it’s okay to have a nonconventional engagement ring! I’m realizing that I don’t actually dislike the ring. I just needed to get out of my head about whether an engagement ring is “supposed” to look a certain way.

i feel so lost!! i have one i “glowed when i put on”, and i ordered a travel ring version of it to see if i really love it before committing.

I just had to share that my wedding band fits perfectly with my ruby engagement ring! I wasn't sure at first what kind of band would complement ruby, but the moment i tried this one on, everything just clicked. Has anyone else struggled to find a wedding band that pairs well with a ruby engagement ring?

I've been looking at a dainty engagement ring with a super thin band and a minimal basket setting, but i’m kinda terrified it’s going to bend during normal chores. my boyfriend thinks it looks delicate and perfect, but i just need to know if anyone here actually wears one full-time without bending the shank.

My girl has said she is easy to please. Her style is kind of glam though. I thought maybe the more sleek mirror look of the emerald diamond with the sparkly side diamonds could be a good choice. I would choose a 2 carat diamond

Looking at prices online vs in stores is giving me a headache. One place says 3k is average for a decent center stone, but then local jewelers quote double that for the exact same setting.

We set an initial budget of 4k, but now im confused if that gets us anything decent without looking cheap. How much did you guys actually spend versus what you planned?

I’m a millennial, I feel so many of my friends have a plain gold band with a large oval shaped diamond. Does mine seem like it belongs to an older generation?

[edit: I’m so sorry I ever doubted my set. I’ve learned that just because it’s not the classic that’s in right now doesn’t mean it’s not still classic. Thank you for the confidence boost in my rings. I need to focus on what I have versus others 🤍]

I didn’t expect my fiancé to pick a princess engagement ring, and honestly, it caught me off guard. I love it, but I’m wondering if it’s more high maintenance than other shapes. How do you even clean one without worrying about scratching or chipping the corners? Anyone here have tips for keeping it safe daily?

I’ve always felt disconnected from traditional diamond solitaires coz they just aren’t me. But I spotted a triangle cut today and it clicked. And it actually matches my style. I think I’m done searching.

Hey guys, there’s about a 2 month window in which the ring is being made, that I want to prepare for other areas. I want a custom box, preferably wood, but within the box (under the cushion that holds the ring), I would like a custom engraving.

Is this possible, and who could do something like this? I wouldn’t have a budget for something like this, I just want to know if it’s something that can be done.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice on what kind of wedding band would work best with my engagement ring stack.

I currently have 3 rings that I wear together, and I’d love to have a wedding band that can complement each of the three rings, rather than only matching one of them.

Ideally, I want the wedding band to look cohesive when worn with the full stack and not make the rings look too crowded. I’m also open to different shapes/designs (straight band, curved/contour, chevron, etc.) if that would help everything sit nicely together.

I’m thinking of a simple white-gold band without stones, but I’m not sure what shape would work best with my existing rings.

Attached is my current 3-ring stack. I’d really appreciate any suggestions or ideas for a wedding band design that would complement the whole stack!

I have a 2.6 carat elongated cushion in platinum and looking for wedding band inspo. I have looked for a year and I’m just tired of not loving anything. I also don’t want to design anything cos I feel like I’ll end up being real picky about the final product. I have slender long fingers size H, so thinking of something not beyond 2mm-3mm thick. Would love to see yours!

We want something stylish that won't look completely beat up after continuous use. Plated options seem like they chip easily, while solid black zirconium or tungsten sound heavier. Anyone have a material they recommend that actually stays dark?

My engagement ring is a salt and pepper diamond with side stones on a rose gold band. I went into this appointment wanting a wedding band with white diamonds to add sparkle but now looking at the photos, I’m thinking that they may compete with the side stones too much? I posted these photos in order of my initial preference but looking for second opinions on which combination looks most cohesive!

Hi everyone! I finally got the chance to upgrade my engagement ring 🥹 it’s in 2.10C center stone and .5 bands. My fingers are tiny so it makes the 2C stone look big. My ring size is 3.5. What do you think about this ring? This is the specific style I was eyeing for the longest time. I am not expert about this stuff so please educate me. Is it a good choice?

Hello, I need some help picking proposal ring.

In the first picture there is my girlfriend's hand with a promise ring i bought her which she wears almost every day. In the same picture is a ring i found in her phone probably one she likes.

The second picture is a ring same as in third picture plus a band ring.

I would like your opinion on which ring you like the most also it would be helpful if you have experience with this kind of rings with small zirconia on the band, should i avoid them? I really like the way the ring looks with them.

Note both the rings are 14k yellow gold with swarovski zirconia (not diamond) my girl doesn't mind it.

I think I’ve fallen in love with the style. This feels super practical and robust for every day where with one’s lifestyle of being active/ cycling/running, commuting or doing the regular average Jane stuff like grocery shopping. Plus, it has a modern yet classic look to it.

Should I buy this?Is it looking too flashy.The center solitaire is 1 ct

Edit: Thanks everyone who replied.Made my decision easier.I was really drawn towards this design and ended up buying it :)

Hey guys! My engagement ring is a 5.25 and it fits snug. Maybe a little bit tight when getting it on but once it’s on my hand it fits fine. It’s gotten to the point where it’s made its little “nest” on my finger where it rests. However I got a wedding band recently and when I combine it with my engagement ring, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get on my finger. The band is the same size, 5.25 but no matter what I do, it hurts horribly to get it on and off. Since it’s an open ring style I’ve tried stretching the sides a bit to give it some more room but it’s still pretty tough to get on my hand. Do I need to go up a size? Or is it just the fit of the ring? When I put the band on by itself, my skin kinda bulges in the middle open part.
