which do you ladies prefer??? seperates or a set??? i love my ring but its kinda hard to find a band to go with it....everything i like is either to flashy or my ring takes away from the band....i thought about going with a set and just have my ring mounted on a different setting....what are you ladies doing?

    My ring is SUPER hard to put something with it that sits fliush but luckily i found something i loved that i could wear with my e-ring or without and it's still fabulous. I had to be open to my band not being "perfectly fit" to my e-ring but i LOVE my decision

    FI says i'm being to "flashy"  that i should just get a plain and simple white gold band and call it a day smh...every band i've looked at the sales man always tells me the e-ring is over powering the band. thats why i figured if i got a set and just had it mounted then it would look better but i dunno Undecided.

    I'm keeping mine separate.  FI got my ring made by a guy in Chicago and I'm going to have him make my wedding band, but it's not going to sit flush against the engagement ring since it's not a set and I prefer it that way.  I actually like having a little gap between the two.  Plus, not to sound like a snob at all, but my e-ring is kind of big and I can see myself wanting to just wear my band on some days since my e-ring likes to get caught on things sometimes.  If I wear the band by itself I didn't want to have a curved ring on my finger.  But that's just me!  I think pretty much any e-ring is going to "overpower' the band since it's more flashy.

    I will have a separate band - it's being custom made to fit perfectly against my e-ring.

    Yeah, I though it was supposed to be overpowered because usually the e-ring has the big ole rock! lol.

    I'm getting an enhancer. It will be fixed to match perfertly. Can't wear an enhancer by itself, but I can just wear my e-ring.

    I tried my ring on with several different bands, but I personally didnt like any of them because it looked too separate. With the gap in between, it looked like it didn't even belong together. So I got an enhancer (or double band is what I call it). My FI picked it out & it really compliments my e-ring.

    I have to have my bands custom made for my ring.  There is no other way.  I definitely am planning on going back to the desginer to have them create something for me.  We will see what they come up with.

    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.
