Rings - what's your engaement ring like and what wedding ring are you having?!

I was looking at bands today, first time. The chap in the shop was insistent the small twist (exactly as you've flashed) would be perfect with my very raised, chunky ring, but Bloke and I both really like the basic, 3mm simple band. It's nice because it's clear it's a wedding band and it does try to compete with the engagement ring. I like the contrast between plain and sparkly, and that he and I will have rings very similar. So I vote for the simple band

Hi,

I have an almost identical E ring to yours. I got a platinum straight wedding band with a line of small diamonds running around the band in the middle. I loved the shape you are looking at too. I changed my mind because I wasn't sure how they looked without my ER and I am not sure if I will always wear my ER in the future. I got v small diamonds in wedding band as worried that it looked too blingy with ring otherwise and IMO slightly tacky as my ring is a sparkler. However, the diamonds in the wedding band you are looking at are also subtler.

However, these rings are gorgeous and are confusing my decision hehe! So I think whatever you decide you cant go wrong!

My ER is similar to this

and I like this for my WR

I've got to have a plain band for work but it can be patterned. They just mean nothing that can fall out of it ie diamonds

I have a diamond and sapphire platinum ER and a plain palladium WR. The diamond wedding rings looked a bit too much with my ER.

Oooh lovely flashy threads.

This is my ER on the flower

and the wedding ring on the one below, not the ER ring.

My ER is a solitaire diamond, would have gone with a diamond band but didn't want anything too blingy so went for a plain 3mm. Here's them both together.

My ER is my avatar, have gone for quite a deep v-shaped wedding ring with diamonds set in it. Something sort of like this

I wanted a simple thin band but it didn't sit at all right with my ER, and I didn't like the look of the shaped ones with similar style ERs. It's an unusual combo, but as soon as I tried it on I knew it was my WR and bought it on the spot- luckily it was my size too!

Hi - I have never heard it called a bow tie ring before, it is mobius twist, if you google that then you will find loads of examples of them on their own and with an engagement ring. I have a shaped wedding ring and shaped eternity ring and I like them on their own as well as with my engagement ring but I always wear my e-ring so not been a problem.

this is my ER with my future WR i love sparkle!!

and this will be H2B WR

And i personaaly like the second WR with the diamonds i think that is lovely!

Sorry for the delayed reply... got a bit sidetracked this eve!!

The second one isn't the exact ring I was looking at, but is v similar. Kicking myself for not taking a pic of it now!!

I do like the diamonds though... but I always said I'd go for a traditional plain band... so confused. To make matters more complicated the jewlers have a fab sale on (20% off everything!) until next Saturday, so I need to make my mind up!!

Lovely ER and WR combinations ladies! I love all the different styles x

Hi some really beautiful designs on here- lovely to see some really unique engagement and wedding rings:

Mine is:

Can't decide whether to have one which is shaped to fit or a U shaped:

or
opinions gratefully received.

I think they're both lovely and would look great with ur ER. I'd suggest to go back and keep trying, how long have u got till u need it? U can always wait a few weeks/months & see how u feel, don't rush ur decision just in case u change ur mind. I'm getting married in August and brought my ring from Goldsmiths in about Oct I think & they give you 6months to change it just in case u change ur mind. I thought I'd have plain platinum with my ER because ER has large diamond and some on shoulders like yours so I wouldn't want more bling but I wasn't actually keen on plain in the end cos I have bony fingers & rings sort of sit diagonal on my fingers! Thought i might have needed a wishbone to fit next to it but I didn't really want a wishbone (even tho shops kept recommending them), I literally went to several jewellers and tried on loads of rings over and over lol, I'm sure shop assistants hated me but I had to be 100% sure

have shown pics of what I've gone for, as u might need a slight twist (like me) tried Goldsmiths maybe? xx

I like the first one on left, think it'd fit lovely next to ur ER x

My engagement ring

My wedding ring

I love sparkle

Thanks Erinm-I'm leaning that way too! My concern is that the shape is the wrong way round. It's from the same shop and all their engagement rings twist clockwise on the left and wedding rings seem to twist anticlockwise on the right. (Does that make sense?) I'm hoping it's a glitch with the pictures on the website and they fit in the shop!

My ER with WR made to match the band

Removed

I was just thinking this!

Hopefully you can choose which way round, surely its feasible that both would be as popular!

My engagement ring. The shoulders are engraved so I'm getting a wedding band engraved to match it.

Yeah that is strange and a bit annoying, yeah go and have a try and if not check out some other stores xx let us know how u get on?

My engagement ring is very similar to yours and I was also sure I wanted a plain wedding ring but changed my mind when I saw how well the diamonds complemented each other (much to the dislike of my bank balance!):

Engagement ring:

I think both will look lovely, go with your heart though as after all it is your wedding ring!

Ur wedding ring is same as mine :-) beautiful aren't they and the ER diamond fits perfect into the dip, my ER is set like yours so can be hard to find a ring to sit next to it. I got the plat one, was it from Goldsmiths? X

I got mine from smooch, it is due to arrive in the next 2 weeks and I can't wait to see it for real again, fell in love with it when I tried it on with my engagement ring! We have good taste ?

I am also wondering what to do. When I got my ring, we chose the solitaire with the plan to have diamonds on the WR. Then I got worried about cost and thought I'd get a plain band. Now I am back to wanting diamonds and have decided to get the band in palladium rather than platinum, which is what my ER ring is.

So my ER ring is this:

I have been looking at bands with princess cut diamonds spaced out, about 5 of them, like this.

To get a ring like this I am going to have to get it on the internet as it isn't really sold in E&J etc. I hadn't thought of the shaped rings as my ER is very blocky/straight lines so I hadn't thought the wavy shapes would work. They do look interesting and a bit different which I like.

Have you thought about eternity rings???? If you'd like one if those at some point then I would say stick to a plain WR with no diamonds. If you don't want an Eternity ring then go with the diamonds. That's my thoughts for what it's worth.

The Diamond one wasn;t how i remembered it....

Opinions?!

Now not sure whether I prefer the most twisty one in my original post

Personally I prefer the first one but then I'm biased as I think this might work with my ER which I'm have trouble finding a wedding ring to fit with .

Where is it from and do you know if they do it in yellow gold ??

Hi all,

these are my rings. My engagement ring is a twist design but I wanted to have the choice of wearing my wedding ring alone and like the look of a straight band. X

Such a tough decision! Both options are gorgeous. If you like something understated, the plain platinum bow tie could be perfect, but if you want more sparkle, the diamond one would be a showstopper. You might want to try them on together to see how they look with your engagement ring. Also, take a look at Beverly Diamonds for more ring ideas
