    love    August 28, 2010  

    Ok so i went to kay jewelers to get my wedding bands. I found two rings i like...but theres a problem.. one is a little too big and the other is a little too small. 

    big

    I like the big because it seems to match the engagement ring the nost. The sides are different.and the wedding band extends by one more diamond.

    bad- i feel like i it takes away from my engagement ring. BUt my FY made a point. He said we could never change the the wedding band when we decide to get a bigger diamond in the future. "

     

    little- i love how it is small and not bulky. It keeps the overall look more simple

    I love them both, but I also think you are right. I think the bigger one overshadows your engagement ring. If it were me, I would go with the smaller one. I think it compliments your engagement ring very nicely.

    I still like the smaller one the best. The bigger one, in my opinion is to wide, but you know what it looks like in real life, so I suggest sleeping on it for a couple days, and then decide. Pick the one that you think about most often.

    I vote the small one. It draws more attention to your engagement ring without overpowering it.

    Small...better balance with your e-ring. You don't want to put something with it that's going to overpower your main stone.

    I like the big one because it almost looks like it could have been an intentionally matched set.

    I like the larger one, and I am usually the opposite.  Also, if you plan on splitting them up and wearing your e-ring on your left hand, then you would want the bigger band, that goes for times when you might not where your e-ring at all.

    I like the bigger one. It matches your e-ring almost perfectly!

    I like the smaller one better because it doesn't compete with your engagement ring.

    I like the big one. after all, it IS the most important ring you'll ever wear... that and it's balanced.

    i like the big one better b/c it matches your e ring and you may not always wear your e ring in the future (i have to take mine off at work sometimes b/c of the high setting getting caught on stuff) but you can always wear your wedding band...

    I feel like they both match very well with your engagement ring, but I like the smaller one better.

    I voted the small one, as mentioned by previous posters, it just seems to look more balanced. They're both beautiful though!

    I like the big one, it just matches better, IMO. Would you consider removing the two extra diamonds on the big one so that it is the same as your engagement ring?
