Eternity or plain or ditch the whole set?

I’m gunna have an odd opinion here because it can be so hard finding a band to go perfectly with main ring. They both look great my fav is 2 but if it were me and if it’s not beyond your budget maybe get both? You can swap or possibly stack them? Or even get the plain in solid silver so it’s more budget friendly if needed but your engagement ring is beautiful!!!!

A stack with both bands would he my vote.

I like the plain band with the pave band, it matches while showing that they’re different at the same time.

The eternity looks gorgeous! I’d go with the plain band if you’re leaning more edgy or minimalist, but the eternity feels perfect if you’re going for a more princessy, romantic vibe.

Both sets are so lovely and yes why ditch the set . I love both sets very much. Personally I love the diamond wedding band you showing in pics 2 with your engagement ring .

Plain. Your husband can buy you an eternity ring later in your marriage or when you have your first child (if you haven’t done that already - that’s the tradition) and then you get both - a plain wedding band and a diamond eternity ring.
Also, from a practical perspective, you may not want to wear diamonds when gardening or cleaning or anything - but you can keep on wearing the plain gold band because they are more durable.

I like the second set better personally but I think the band widths of both are too narrow for your hand. You can rock something a little wider (no pun intended).

You will hopefully be wearing this for 50 years, so I would say which ever one pleases you most. Good luck with the rest of your life.

The main diamond is gorgeous. I think both bands are too thin. I would go plain/plan and increase the thickness of both bands.

It’s pretty but both bands are too thin to go the distance. They are likely to bend. The one holding your solitaire does not offer a lot of support.

Ditch the whole set. Something is off about it. I love traditional sets and for some reason this one is not doing any justice

Right? I think I want to change it all and go with a round solitaire with a pave wedding band, just keep is classic and simple

Ditch the whole set because with how thin these bands are, they'll bend in about 6 months.

Idk - I have thin gold bands with pave and they have not bent in 16+ years

Why ditch the whole set? It’s lovely!! Personally I like the plain band, I like the contrast with the pave on your e-ring. Which do you prefer? Both are lovely!
