wedding band distress (pics...)

I knew that the shape of my e-ring would present a minor problem when looking for a band to match (it was custom made; FH's idea to have the square turned diamond shape which I LOVE because it's so different).



BUT I am having a hard time finding a band that works with the ring. I really don't want to wear one like this because I'd like the option of wearing the band alone and I think it looks a little goofy on its own:



So I am left with an option like this with one on either side:



but then I'd REALLY be limited to only wearing the bands with the e-ring...

or then there is the twisty-shape here, but I am not sure how I feel about having holes in it (sort of a weird personal superstition; I just feel like wedding bands should be continuous and solid...)





What do you guys think? I have tried on normal bands and they looks crazy because the point of the diamond of the e-ring forces this big space in between the rings. A jeweler advised that in time a regular band would push the prong underneath and might cause the diamond to fall out; DEFINITELY don't want that happening!

Could you maybe wear the e-ring on your right hand once you get married? I've heard of a lot of people who just move the e-ring over to the other hand that way they can get whatever band they like.

I could conceivably do that, but I do like the way a set looks. I think I want the impossible with this one...

i had the same problem, that is why i have to wear my engagement ring on my right hand andwedding band on the left hand, but i got a thicker band for that reason!!

first: i have to say i LOVE ur ring...i think it is so unique!

out of the ones u posted, i would go with something along the lines of the first one...i like the loopy one, but i agree with u with the 'continuous band' thing..i am not supersticious at all, it's just what it stands for..

Another idea: what if u get the diamond set higher? I dont think it's all that expensive to get a new basket, and then u can get a regular band that can kind of sit underneath it (if u know what i mean??)... just an idea???

Could you raise the setting of your diamond, this way the diamond doesnt hit another ring??

that's exactly what i mean

The wavy bands remind me of the infinity symbol. I think that's kind of fitting for a wedding band.

My ring is three hearts, so I'm having a similar predicament. I'm sure when you find 'the one', you'll know. Any of the options you posted will look beautiful with your ring.

oh wow - didn't even realize that! i know i posted earlier but i do agree..it does look like the infinity symbol..and there really is no break in the design..

love your e-ring!

I had a similar problem. I do not have a typical e-ring either so finding a band to fit it was a challenge. Here is my band which I love It has the same design principle as the 'open' rings, without having any holes in it.

I was having a hard time finding a band too. Nothing sits flush with it. and to get princess cut diamonds would make the band very wide so here was my compromise.


The bands are round diamonds in a prong setting about 1/3 of a carat each. I think it made my ring more balanced.
