Need help with baguette setting!

[Isobellaballerina]

10 years ago i chose my wedding band that was baguettes all the way around in a channel setting....well after 2 years i had cracked and lost stones from the setting. For our 10 year anniversary we are getting a new engagement ring made and i want to use some of my original baguettes in my new wedding band. The design i have selected to match my engagement ring i have been warned that its not a super safe setting for baguettes. Does anyone have any suggestions for settings to protect them but will also look good with my engagement ring? I have attached my engagement ring design and then the wedding band i like.

Hi,
no, not a fan of those baguette “exposed” sides.
Clunking against the engagement ring and other things will likely chip those exposed sides.
Better to “channel” or “rim” set them, that’s a metal band on both outside edges to protect the diamonds. Especially as you’ll be wearing the set pretty much 24/7.
If it was just as a “dress” wedding band aka special occasions only, yes, it’s beautiful.
Not as pretty or fine as the setting you posted, and I love that wedding band, but the practical me says “no, an incident just waiting to happen”

I have a very similar band made by David Klass. I wear mind daily, do remove it for yard work, world ours, etc but it’s on my hand daily. Yes, the baguettes are a bit exposed but this is how I like baguettes. for me, I’m less worried about knocking one out as the main ring is alway taller so it takes the whacks I subject my hand to. But I do wear and recommend a spacer ring next to it to prevent girdle knocks. Here’s a photo of mine with my 3 stone emerald.
