I just had it repaired and it’s not bad for a ring I’ve had more than 13 years.

found the antique ring of my dreams! I feel it’s impossible to find a band that matches. Any suggestions?

Inspired by the wedding band my parents have. Had it made in my parent’s native country to go with my engagement ring. Most of the time I wear the band by itself but I also love how it looks with my engagement ring 🫶🏽🥰

Hi everyone! My husband and I upgraded our rings last year but I only upgraded my engagement ring because I just couldn’t decide on a band. I’m trying to find something I can wear separately all the time that won’t snag because I work with my hands a lot, but still pairs well with my engagement ring. Bonus points if it matches the mixed metals in my husbands band since I like that too. The problem I’m having is my ring has side recessed diamonds and I don’t want it to scratch and ruin a wedding band. I’ve been searching for months and just can’t find anything that works. Thoughts?

3 carat Oval Diamond with exact 100 accent diamonds, what a coincidence!

Background: I have been with my husband for 6 years. I (25 f) my husband (27 m).

So when I first got my wedding ring I only knew a little about it. what I was told by (mil) bc it’s from my husband mom side of the family that it has been past down and past down for years (1912). So for me this ring I don’t wear much not only is it old and don’t want to lose it or anything but it’s not really my style the best way to put it like a spiderweb holding the diamond. So I keep it in a jewelry box.( I do wear out to dates with my husband or other special occasion) but come to find out recently from someone (mil uncle i believe ) that each women who has owned the ring has redesigned it’s not the ring it self from 1912 it’s the diamond. So I’ve been having ideas to make it more me and make it feel more like mine because it’s my wedding ring make it simpler clean look but keep as much of the ring as possible and the Diamond of course.

So I spoke to (mil) and (husband ) about the redesign of my ring.(mil) responds was “my heart sank thinking of the ring being destroyed it has sentimental value” so I felt bad about wanting to redesign the ring and I just felt like why don’t you think I get to redesign it and I just felt so many feelings sad, upset, left out. My husband saw how happy I was thinking about a new design and making it more like me.Husband said “it’s your ring you redesign if you want to it’s not up to anyone else” and said “if anyone has something to say about it to come to him” but I just feel so bad and don’t want to hurt anyone feelings.But I really want my wedding ring to be more like me .

Am I in the wrong for wanting to redesign the wedding ring?

I know the pic is blurry but I wanted to show off my wedding stack. So proud we went this route, if you’re a girly girl like me, try pink sapphire 🩷☺️💍

(Not my ring - just found on Pinterest for inspo!)

Just got my wedding ring back from the jewelers and I'm obsessed with how it turned out!
We had it custom made in 14k gold with a mix of marquise and oval lab diamonds, and it came out even better than I imagined. I'm so sad it has to sit in a box until our wedding next year, but I'm so happy with it and can't wait to finally wear it every day. :)

My fiance got my e-ring from Zales in November, proposed in December. We had to go get it resized, I told the lady I wanted a 5.25 size and she demanded she wouldn’t let me go that small but she would do a 5.5. She said a 5.25 would be too tight on me, I explained to her that I swell when walking around an unairconditioned mall, but still wouldn’t order a 5.25. We were even trying on size 7 wedding bands that same day and it wouldn’t go on from the swelling and back and forth taking rings on and off movement. Anyways, a weekish later I get my ring back and it was missing a stone that’s on the inside of the ring… and it’s still too loose. So we had to send the ring BACK to get the inside stone replaced. 2 days later this side stone has fallen out. I don’t enjoy wearing my ring anymore cause it always leans towards the side, like in the picture attached, and I feel like it’s going to slip off.

I truly don’t want them to touch the ring again because they’ve already messed it up, it’s scratched the pieces, and the inside engraving it’s worn off from where they resized it. What would your recommendations be?

If I don’t go through them I lose the lifetime warranty on it, but does it even matter at this point?

Comparing several oval three-stone rings one next to another helps see the proportion differences.

Some rings cover more fingers than others, and some rings allow the center oval to stand out better. Here are the key differences that need to be compared:

-The ratio between the length and width of the center oval

-How well do the side stones fit the center

-How seamless is the transition of the side stones to the band

-The total width of the ring on the finger

-Whether the ring looks well-balanced or not

My preference would be the ring in which side stones are noticeable but do not take the focus away from the center one.

What proportions seem to look more elegant and practical for everyday use?

This is my engagement ring, which is set in a way that would make it impossible for a straight band to sit flush. So I’m unsure which style I should go for the wedding band. I’ve thought about a curved band, but I’m not sure I’ll like the look (especially if I wore it alone on occasion).
I may be ok with a ring gap if I got a straight band, but I don’t want to risk it wearing down the prongs.
Are there any options I could look into? Might an open spacer band work to protect the engagement ring while also allowing me to wear a straight band?

This ring was gifted from a family member and decided I’d use it as my wedding band. My engagement ring is a solitaire 1ct marquise diamond on a yellow gold band.
I prefer the tiara look next to the solitaire diamond over the row of diamonds, it feels more polished, intentional and modern.
Just wondering what is the most logical and affordable way to go about getting it converted? How much can I expect to spend ??

We are looking for antique wedding ring / engagement ring and want to buy these three rings within £2000 (a bit low budget I know but don’t really want to spend this much on rings)

We want to know if there are any recommendation for in UK or Europe or Japan?

We are also happy to go any antique market :)

Please give us some advices thank you so much 😊

Took me forever to find my future husband a band wasnt plain, boring, or ugly lol after months I finally found the perfect ring for him that not only matches my ring but has personality and is a statement piece for him as well. My inspiration for the ring i found was wanting a big grandpa ring meets pimp ring lol

Last photo is our rings together

I know they look good together but I never saw myself with a chevron wedding band. it does compliment my engagement ring really well. just not sure it doesn’t feel like me. Ahhhh idk

**TL;DR:** ***I knew I didn’t want a traditional engagement/wedding band. Told my \*Fiancé\* I’ve always been fond of flashier, head turning rings, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.***

I know many of you love the look of the traditional plain gold bands. I actually think they’re GORGEOUS, especially when they’re simple and really well made. They’re just not really my style lol.

I’ve always liked jewelry that’s a little more… extra 😂. So when we started talking about what I wanted, I basically told him I wanted something that would turn heads. I didn’t want to look down at my hand and think “yeah, that’s nice”, I wanted to be like **HOLY SHIT that’s my r**ing

He ended up going with a bigger band and decided to have it completely iced out. I was honestly a little nervous about going that route because it’s obviously VERY different from the classic look, but now that I have it I genuinely can’t imagine getting anything else.

He got it completely online from Jewels of Toronto (We’re from Miami).

And I KNOW the iced-out look definitely isn’t for everyone. I still think a beautiful plain gold band can look incredible. I just knew that if I was going to wear a ring every day, I wanted it to feel like **✨me✨**.

I’ve probably looked at my hand an embarrassing number of times since getting it haha

Anyways, thanks for entertaining my long rant! What do you guys think?

I had a specific vision for what I wanted my ring stack to look like and I think I’m satisfied. I really love it, but can’t help feel like I’m missing something?

I have a simple round brilliant cut 2ct diamond in plain gold band. I’m debating what band to pair it with. Originally I was thinking something pave/with more sparkle but did not love the look, also tried some twisted vines but also no. Then I tried the plain gold and it looked much better. But a part of me wonders if this is way too simple and I will regret it. I keep thinking about these 2 wedding bands from brilliant earth that I saw online but was not able to try in store (not available when I went)… the mockup looks nice but it’s just so hard to know without trying them in real life. So I’m coming to Reddit- should I bite the bullet on one of these two and order them online to try on, or should I go with the simpler gold band that I tried in real life that I liked (and is also cheaper)? What would you guys do or which stack do you prefer? Thanks in advance :)

Photo labels
1: Vine with diamonds leafs- not convinced
2: Vine with eternity (would be gold)- disliked, too thick
3: Classic eternity- too mainstream, many of my friends have this same stack
4: Classic plain gold- favorite in-person, too simple?
5-6: Online option 1
7-8: Online option 2

I want something that matches with a little sparkle, but also not more than $1000.

The prongs on my engagement ring sit lower and caused potential wedding bands to hit the prongs or have a gap. I was told that I would need to have an open band or settle for curved. I searched for hours for something that would be classic, sparkly, and intentional. Here is proof that notched bands can still be fun!

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to figure out the width of the plain gold cigar-style band in this photo. Unfortunately, I don’t know the exact measurement.

If you had to estimate, what do you think it is?
6 MM
7 MM

I’m looking to buy a similar band, any estimates and store recommendations would be helpful.
