I have a three stone engagement ring as well and it took a while but we were able to find a prong set band to go with it. Its still not nearly as high as my engagment ring but it looks a million times better than the channel set ones...I got it at Zales (in VA but I'd imagine the stock is similar elsewhere)...HTH

I'm having the same problem - I have a three stone engagement ring and it seems as if everyone is telling me I will have to move it to my right hand...which I DO NOT want to do!
I tried on some prong set bands and some of them weren't as bad as others - the key seems to be to have a band custom made so it will be the height of your engagement ring band so there isn't such a big space in the middle and they look like they go together...

I ended up having the get the channel band b/c the plain just didn't look nice with it. At first I was going to move my e-ring the the right but I kind of like the way it looks stacked but my right hand is feeling a little lonely

I have the 3 stone e-ring and Kay's sold a complimentary band for 3 stone rings that does not look like a wrap, but compliments the ring nicely. I have diamonds in my wedding band and the 3 stone ring and it looks really nice together.

I have a 3 store engagement ring. My wedding band has the diamond channel with it sits 'below' the stones of my engagement ring so I can wear both of them together.

i just ordered my wedding band--and i too have a 3 stone. i'm not a fan of channel settings at all...so i worked with the jeweler to make a sort of custom setting.

it's a 5 stone ring...the 5 stones are in 4 prong baskets (as the 3 stone ring is set that way) in my e-ring..the side stones are smaller than the center and lay a little lower. the wedding band diamonds will lay at the height of the sidestones

i don't have a pic of mine (haven't picked it up yet) but a friend of mine has a similiar wedding band...only hers is a 7 stone setting, and sits a little lower than mine would--but you get the idea:

I have a high set trelis setting with diamonds on teh sides and I am having a hard time getting a band that the diamonds are the same on because mine aren't channel set...grrrrr....my FH said the man who set my diamond at the Commack Jewelry Exchange said he has the matching band to my setting, even though we didnt get the setting thru him, so I might go with him. All I can say is try on every ring and do what makes you feel comfortable and happy
