Those of you with funny shaped engagement rings...

I'm having to send mine back to the jeweller in london and get him to design one but i'm thinking of something like this..

seems to be the only thing that suits...

I got mine made and shaped around my E-ring. Nothing else fitted very well.

Spring, did you get it made by someone in a high-street shop or did you contact a jeweller?

There was one company at a wedding fayre that comes to your house and does it that way. Suppose I could contact them.

I had mine made to fit either side of mt E- ring which I love........even wrapped around the E ring it just didnt look right....so it has basically got a gap in it.

I'm so glad you started this thread as i've been pondering the same thing! my ring is a single solitaire diamond set in white gold however the "arms" of the ring get thinner in the middle so if i bought a plain band there would be a noticebale gap between my enagegment ring and the wedding band!!!! i think i'm going to have to get my wedding band (when i buy it) reshaped similar to the picture that teehee posted! x

What is yours like Spring? My ring is similar to yours but I have another two diamonds set on either side on the shoulders...art deco design.

I had it made in the jewellery quarter in Birmingham. Not a shop as they put a lot more money on it.

You can see mine here (the one on the right)

My SIL has my grandmother's engagement ring, and wanted her wedding ring to sit against it but not look odd if she was wearing her wedding ring on its own (if that makes sense!) The engagement ring is yellow gold with a 7 diamond cluster set in platinum, and she wanted a bicolour wedding ring. I'm not great at describing it, but she had a ring made which is perfect. She's got a sort of lip on the top edge of the ring which looks a bit like a twist, but isn't. The underside, and therefore visible bit of the lip, is platinum so the ring sits against it really well. If she's not wearing the engagement ring, it gives the effect of a bicolour band with a twist in it.

I've made a meal of that, but basically it works really well!

I met exactly the man you need at a wedding fair the other day. He hand makes his rings and they're lovely. I think Lisaloulou knows his work too. We'll probably be getting our rings from here.

I tried on the shaped ones and really liked them.

I really love the rustic ones, but not sure if one would match my engagement ring.

Claire - was that guy at a wedding fair in Southampton? Did he have long hair?

That is the company that I saw at a wedding fair I think. He was so lovely. Thought I picked up contact details from him but can't seem to find them anywhere.

I had my wedding ring designed to fit around my engagement ring and I went to an independent local jeweller who designed me a beautiful ring. However I could have gone to HM Samuels and they would have "cut" a normal band just to fit my E ring and it would have been cheaper, but I preferred having a new ring designed from scratch. Depends what you're after. x

My rings are made of 2 different metals and won't even go together so i'm wearing my engagement ring on my right hand after tomorrow.

Hiya,

My engagement ring is a single solitare, which twists into the stone. They suggested a 3mm striaght band for me. This looked fine, can not remember a gap in it but at the time we where not thinking that far ahead. But when we went in September to look at them to order the jewellers have started to make a ring which fits my engagment ring. So my decision was done for me, it is 18ct the same as my engagement ring. It looks great and we could not refuse it. It twists into my ring lovely with one side deaper so the other is a little straighter.

I was tempted to go with Amulet too but in the end managed to just get a notch taken out of a plain band to fit perfectly round my princess cut e-ring.

Ernest Jones - where my e-ring was from - wanted me to go to a designer day which started at £1250 and all I wanted was a platinum band with a notch taken out. I ended up going to Goldsmiths buying my ring for less than half the price (using Tescos vouchers too means you get 4 x the face value off!!) and only paid about £30 to get the notch taken out.

If I was having something "designed" rather than what Goldsmiths did I would have gone to Amulet.

I've got a solitaire with an 8 claw setting and there was a huge gap with a normal band.

I got one made by goldsmith's in the jewellery quarter (birmingham) which is like the one teehee posted except i had 3 tiny brush diamonds put in too.

It looks totally fab with my e ring and looks good by itself too- i thought it'd look weird and was set on getting a wishbone so that if i didn't wear my e ring it'd look ok but i much prefer the one i've ended up with.

A twisted band also looks good but my claw setting was too big for a twist as i only wanted a thin band.

This is mine - I got a white gold band and got it cut into to fit perfectly around my ring when we were on holiday in Turkey.

Cos it is cut into, it means that it will sit perfectly and not spin, if that makes sense!
