So far, I have ordered the plain band to wear when I’m not wearing the e-ring. Still deciding if I should get a sparkly band or not for everyday wear. I am not a fan of curved bands, so that would not be an option for me. Feedback appreciated!
 
You could look at a half-eternity with Single Cuts or French Cuts or Peruzzi Cuts... :)
 
Any of these would look gorgeous with your OMC - MRBs may have the wrong facet pattern/size to work well with the broad facets of an OMC
I completely agree with this. You’ll want to match the metal color as well as style of stones; otherwise the MRB cut diamonds will make your centerstone look dull and lifeless which would be a shame since it’s so pretty.

I’d suggest going for a very thin engraved band or something with broader facets. These might be good choices:

These are awesome choices! I agree with wearing something like this, without your ER, but as much as I know you’re not a fan of curved bands, I do believe they will compliment your ER, better, when you have it on. The straight band looks great on its own.
 
HI:

Buy them all! (and don't forget to get a curved one in the mix)

cheers--Sharon
 
I love the square cut band, but think it is too much with your ring. Have you tried a band above and below your ring? More than one band?
 
Personally, I would go with a plain skinny band, or an antique style single cut / french cut half eternity. Or both?! I think anything too wide, modern or blingy will detract from your lovely engagement ring. But obviously you can have a blingy band for wearing alone. There are no rules :Up_to_something:
 
:appl:I love your OMC ring! :appl:

I like it! So different!
 
Engraved antique platinum band.

Love it! What a great set
 
Oh wow! That antique band looks way better than any of the other ones you showed. it looks PERFECT!
Congrats on a perfect fit. It looks like it was MADE for your ring!
 
Thanks, all! I tried another that I loved, but unfortunately, because it was an eternity band, it was not sizable. :cry2: 88BDDB4A-1045-4075-95FC-ACDF8D8978D8.jpeg

Seems like a lot of the genuine Art Deco bands are full eternity, so I may be in for a long hunt with my tiny fingers. The good news is that the ballerina-style band was so cheap that I’ll be able to afford another when the time comes! If anyone has a recommendation for a NYC B&M shop I could try, I’m all ears.
 
Oh my word. girl!!!!!!!!

What a ring...the possibilities are endless. I'd start with a 2mm engraved band, with or w/o tiny diamond accents.
(not necessarily an eternity, though)
 
I absolutely LOVE what you picked! I love unique bands and sets that are vintage looking. It’s all beautiful! You should find one like the other one too just so you can sometimes wear just the band :).
 
Woohoo! Great find. What a stunning set. Love this combo
 
Love the one you choose best, so unusual

Is there a detail on the shank of the ring that could be made into a thin ring. A thin ring that had some gemstone bling that would compliment your gorgeous engagement ring that could be worn every day if you wanted to.
 
Can't get enough of this ring. Love the setting, everything about it.
