Weddingbee boards

I love my engagement ring, the only thing is we are having trouble finding a wedding band that fits with it. My ring is a tension setting and the band comes up a little higher than most others. I am being slightly anal retentive about my wedding band, I want it to rise the the same height as the band on my e-ring. I have tried on other bands and I think it gets lost in the shadow of the e-ring (if that makes any sense) if it does not come up to the same height.

The challenge is also that my ring is a bit different in that the center stone is princess, but the diamonds in the band are rounds. I would like a band that has channel set rounds to match which I didn't think would be too hard to find. FI got my ring at Kay's and they have a band (I think it was $500) that matches perfectly height-wise but the channel stones are princess. They found another setting in a book that was basically the same as the one in the store but they wanted to charge over $1300 for it! I don't know why they can't just use the same mold but cut the channel for rounds not princess without more than doubling the price.

Is anyone else having a similar problem? 

Your ring sounds very similar to mine.  I had a very similar problem.  The only that my Fi and I knew we had to do was get a customized wedding band.  I'm out in L.A., so I went to the jewelry district.  My band will cost under $700

Mine is tension set too and has a high profile. The only band that I liked with it costs around $1500, so we are having it custom made. It's a good option! I'd try a local reputable jeweler for it too, if that's an option; we saved a lot because we dealt with the owner of the store.

I actually found a ring recently that meets my e-ring height wise and (I think) compliments it well without being too matchy-matchy. Thanks for the help bees!

Thanks.  I thought so since all the stones in the channel of the e-ring are rounds even though the center is a princess cut.
