    Hey ladies,

    My BF and I are discussing rings lately, and I love the look of halo rings, but am uncertain of how they look with wedding bands. I REALLY want a band and ring I can have soldered together, because I'm the kind of person who will constantly be fidgeting with it or slowly driven crazy if it can move :)

    Is this possible with halos?

    Can any married ladies out there send me pics of their halos and bands together? Thanks so much!

    Yes you can get any two rings soddered together, however, I am choosing not to. Here is my halo ering and contour band together...

    Check out Mrs. Mary Jane's posts about her wedding band saga. I loved the look of halo rings also but ultimately decided not to get one because I couldn't handle the way the wedding band had to be contoured. I wanted something I could wear alone and it wouldn't look curved.

    But since you want to get your soldered together anyway-- then a halo will be no problem for you.

    I have a halo ring and love it! The band that I am getting matches my ring and sits flush without a contour.  I love it so much. I wish I had a photo to show you them together and all I could find are the stock photos but here is what my set will be:

    Here is a side view of my e-ring but with a round center stone:

    i actually love the look of a contoured band because it's more unique and to me the curve actually reminds me of my fingers (okay i'm crazy i know).... i think i'd be sad if i didn't get a halo but of course i'm one of those that will want to wear the e-ring at all possible times and days and never remove it....

    well cre, if you don't get the halo you want you could always upgrade later. its a great time to love halos though-- there are some great options out there for girls. they are so popular and i see beautiful new ones practically every day. am i imagining this or were you wanting a blue topaz or aquamarine ring?

    Thanks @texaslawgirl !!!

    I love love love the look of the ones where the band sits flush under the halo, but I'm okay with contured too if it's a split shank. :) Now I know what to tell J to look for.

    I'm attaching pix of my e-ring with a halo (disregard the random watch band under it-my camera wouldn't focus on the ring when it was on the white background).  You can see that the stone and halo are raised enough to have a band flush.  I don't plan to have the bands soldered so I can have the option to wear them separately.  I don't expect them to separate enough to be bothersome.

    I love halos too but it's not what I've decided I want.

    Styles will come and go (it is a pretty style though) and whatever looks best on your hand and the band compliments it is what I say!  But those e ring pics here are beautiful!  Congrats engaged bees with those pretty halos!

    My preference is a plat band a teeny bit thicker with two (or more if he wishes) baguettes flanking each side of the solitaire.  Very similar to a style by Cartier I've loved for years!  Style and what's in and out doesn't matter to me.  What looks best does!

    I cannot wear a band with my halo becuase I have diamonds on the inside, but it is very possible if you get a band for both sides then it will even it out.....

    My BF and I went looking at rings a few months ago and we both fell in love with a Henri Daussi halo ring! It was beautiful! I knew from the start that I wanted a halo ring. Most of the ones that we looked at had the centerstone and halo raised so that a band could fit right under it.

    I think you should go check out some stores and see them in person with the band.

    I think halo's are SO beautiful, but the intricate settings would drive me nuts. I have (well had, FI is changing it for Christmas) a split shank setting & I couldn't stand how dirty it got.

    If the band is made to fit the halo you could get it soldered together :)

    I have a halo ring and I adore it. My FI designed it and was able to make it so that both of my bands (I'm lucky) sit flush to the halo. If you want a picture just let me know.
