Help me choose a wedding ring?

[Begonia]

Here's a vendor photo of my engagement ring. I've been meaning to get a band to go with it for a year now but, well covid. I'd like a straight band with milgrain and maybe some diamonds or sapphires/diamonds, or just sapphires (blue) but am open to suggestions. Can anyone envision something that would look pretty? I'm not very creative that way I'm afraid.

I don’t have band suggestions but want to say I absolutely love your ring!

That ring is goegeous! It reminds me of something from an historical gold crown

If I were you, I would be tempted to have a band made to match this band.

I think what could look really pretty is a white gold band of the same thickness of the shank, with milgrain on either side, set with yellow sapphires. I think it would set off your ring really well!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Your ring is beautiful! Would a band be able to sit flush, or would there be a gap? Possibly a curbed band, plain or with tiny diamonds. Definitely milgrain.

Gorgeous ring. I think a similar aesthetic for your band would complement the ring beautifully. I’d go with the same metal probably and use a similar height and width. With milgrain or not. Either way. Personally I prefer a gap so the rings are separate and distinct. Personal preference only. And I also think a sapphire band of similar height and width would look amazing with this. I love blue with yellow gold. Rich.

I agree with Alex. I would have a band made to match. I just absolutely love this setting, and it looks beautiful on you!

Do you want vintage? Modern? Traditional?
Do you like straight bands or curved? What is your budget?

I’m a big fan of the Singlestone small Jane band—it’s hammered gold (but maybe 22k?, so I’m not sure if the color would match). It does not have milgrain, but it might be really pretty with your gorgeous ring.

That's a great idea! I think I'll tuck that one aside for a stack option? Going for matching gold color right now but that will go in my stack (if I ever have one )

Yes! Can't decide between straight and curved but I'm leaning to straight with small diamonds

I agree
Milgrain is my preference. Right?? Blue with that gold...
Tiny white diamonds would be lovely too. Might have to have 2 and stack or switch it up. My budget will only allow 1 for now though.

I'm feeling matchy matchy. The vendor can make it, just trying to decide what the look is beyond 18kt and milgrain

That's a lovely inspiration piece! Thank you Tucking that one in my file!!!

Straight, 18kt yellow, milgrain. Matchy matchy with diamonds or sapphires (blue). Not sure I want diamonds and sapphires combined? My budget is $2000 or thereabouts. If I can only do the gold for that, then milgrain plus some adornment like...scallops, or ridges or...? I like similar width. I did see a band (where WAS that?) that had a wee diamond in a diamond shape milgrain (as in a deck of cards diamond shape?) around the small diamonds. The band had maybe 5 diamonds in eternity style.

I'll check that out!

Just checked out Singlestone. Lots of lovely inspiration there! My budget is smaller than what I can afford for a diamondy band, but my vendor might be able to put something similar in my price range.

The small Jane really makes a stack fabulous IMO!

Sadly, no. I'll look for inspiration though!

I found a few pretty bands on Ruby Lane that may look nice.

 

[Kh0117]

How about something like this?

 

[Farleysmom]

Found another antique band that is nice, also from Rubylane. Sorry as I don’t know your size.

 

[Farleysmom]

Last one. . Also Rubylane

Whoa! Working now, but will check out better when I'm off! Thank you for the hot tips

 

[Begonia]

Super pretty! I like more of a band that looks like the WR with diamonds (or not depending on budget). That ring is a direction I may go in for stacking however

 

[Farleysmom]

Found one more on Rubylane

You are fabulously helpful! Thank you!

Your ring is gorgeous!!

I'm totally biased, but DK created this band for me. Mine is 14k but should be around your budget in 18k. It matches your aesthetic, I think!

Ooooo, that's lovely! I think that would make a very nice band to go with my ring. Winner winner chicken dinner??
