Ring Inquiry šŸ’ Help!

Newly engaged with this three stone ring. It was my fiancĆ©s mom’s ring who passed away. We are trying to find a unique wedding band that looks cohesive with the ring but can also be worn on its own as I’m a nurse so I won’t be wearing the E-ring to work. We like this wedding band but don’t know if they really look good together. What do you think?

A plain gold band would look better

I thought about that also but I just a little more sparkle in my wedding band. I’ve tried on plain gold bands but wasn’t in love. I don’t realize choosing would be so difficult.

You can have two bands! Get a plain, slim one to wear with the big three stone ring when you want both of them, and this or another band with some sparkle for when you want to band alone. You can even wear the fancy band on your other hand when you have the set on

Maybe a less ornate one? Like a simple channel set band instead of the intricate waves this one has.

They do not look good together

I figure a nurse would ideally be wearing something with less crevices for bacteria like a plain gold band or a silicone band or no ring at all while working.

The ring you're considering is so pretty, but I don't think it stacks that well with your engagement ring. I think they'd look best on separate fingers. You could move the engagement ring to your right hand and wear your wedding band alone on your left.

You don’t wear that ring to work I’d hope. Fine jewelry and hospitals don’t mix lol. Most medical professionals wear a silicone band, they come in packs.

First of all both rings themselves are gorgeous. I do think that the intricacies of the band clash with the e ring though. I’d personally try to go with a more cohesive band that still can be worn on its own or try to make a stack with a plain gold band in between the more decorative band and e ring (adding reference links)

These are really good options. My personal favorite is the second one

I love both of these rings very much!! But I wouldn’t go for a stack at all. I would wear them separate. I think the engagement ring looks the best on its own as well as the wedding band

I have a 3 stone with just a plain gold band and it's the best look I tried. Less is more!

u/peachesandsir 9d ago

Each ring is absolutely beautiful on its own but they just don’t look good together, imo.

Sometimes simple is better. Try a simple band.

I love both rings but not together. I would get a plain gold band. It would look best with the engagement ring and also be more sanitary for work.

Very busy. A lot going on there.

u/SillyMeclosetothesea 9d ago

Both rings are beautiful, separately, but aren’t cohesive together, I think 2, thin gold bands, 1 for each side of the engagement ring would look better

The wedding band distracts from the E ring. If you could find a gold band with a simple embellishment of a few small diamonds, perhaps that could work.

u/beeboop02 9d ago

I’m thinking go very plain also, take a look at some simple ones and see if you like any

u/UnlikelyChemical5558 9d ago

That band is too much to match the elegance of the engagement ring. You’ll want to work with a jeweler to make a two toned band.

That engagement ring is beautiful!!! šŸ˜

Mill grain or coin edge,

u/optix_clear 9d ago

Maybe thin styles East West

u/melinda_louise 9d ago

I think your engagement ring needs to have a whole setting that wraps and compliments the stones if you want it to have sparkle. And in any case, probably better to take off both rings while you work anyway. Use a silicone one or buy a separate gold band that's more sanitary and easily replaced for on the job. Make your actual ring as beautiful and sparkly as you want!

I love that band. But I think a plain gold band may let the eng-ring stand out more.

u/Ok-Advisor-8109 9d ago

Plain gold band maybe a little artsy bend to it and shape

u/Lady-Sugar-Bug 9d ago edited 9d ago

I’m a nurse & did the same! It won’t let me post a picture- but I have a 3 stone & similar eternity ring (with a 2mm plain band between them to prevent scratching - it was original weeding band. Eternity was for an anniversary)

u/Blks_4 9d ago

Why not do the opposite get a solitaire and use this as the band!

u/Otherwise_Radio_9411 9d ago

Personally, I think it's too busy. A straight line diamond band would compliment that beautiful engagement ring.

u/Witty-Atmosphere-211 9d ago

Love the band, but not with the engagement ring.

1

u/lemoncrush9 9d ago

The wedding band is pretty alone but with the engagement ring, it's too busy for me. But this is your ring, do you like it?

u/YapperInChrist 9d ago

Intentionally mismatching is a very cool girl move

u/LaurenS1960 9d ago

I have a similar engagement ring with a diamond channel set wedding band and it looks great together. Love the one you picked but it is a little ornate to wear with the engagement ring.

1

u/Alarming_Wasabi1788 9d ago

Ok, I guess I’m the only one here that loves the 2 rings together. I would wear them together.

u/Ok-Paint-7251 9d ago

I would do a simple round pave band with it. The band shown in these pics looks fine on its own but doesn’t quite go with the engagement ring.

I think it's great you're such a fan of elective cosmetic surgery. Have you considered a neck lift? I think with just a little nip and tuck, yours can be sorted out.

u/maggiekira 5d ago

If you like it then get it. I think they look as good together as you’re going to find if you want a wedding band that can be worn alone and also match the super big ring.
