In my eyes, the bands are similar and have a similar effect except for the full metal band.

I dont care for the channel round/princess because the stones dont look like they go far enough around the band. You
will be forever having to move it back in place. How "eternity" is the band (1/3, half, 3/4, 7/8 etc.)?

The others look similar to me. You need to ensure the stones are not touching your ering (so they don't eat into your ering).

I chose the OEC band because it has side rails on it but it still may not be enough to keep the crown of the stone off your ering.

Good luck...I think you're on the right track!

Thank you! I appreciate the professional opinion. I didn’t even notice that the antique band has side rails. I like that one for its lower colored stones because it doesn’t take away from my j colored emerald which is an antique as well. I was also thinking of using the stones in that band to have another recreated somehow but not sure if I should do that path either.

I voted for the OEC band - and the fact that the color of the band matches the center stone is an added plus! I think it really complements your beautiful ering. I had the same thought as tyty333, I worry that the diamonds on the shared prong band could eat into your ering setting. It looks the channel setting on the oec band will be enough to keep the diamonds from hitting your ering but double check on that by looking at the set from the side.
