My FI had my ring made and I absolutely love it! However, the beautiful peek-a-boo diamonds he put on the sides I think are going to prevent me from wearing a wedding band up against my e-ring once we get married. I'm a little torn as what to do. I know not all gals even get wedding bands, but there is just something about it that if I don't have one it'll be weird for me. Is that wrong?

Another reason I don't want to cover up the peek-a-boos, those two small diamonds are from his grandmother's wedding ring! FI never got to meet his grandmother because she passed away when he was only 2, but there are photos of them together reading books :)

I also know most times women get their rings sodered together so the rings don't spin against each other and wear down the bands/prongs. I also have engraving/etching (whatever you call it!) on all sides of the band and I don't want those to wear away. I've provided a picture and would like your thoughts.

Also, if you are in the same situation, post a pic and maybe we can all give some ideas!!

juniper22:  You know, I've thought about that, but I guess I hadn't considered it too much. Still have my head wrapped around the idea of both of them on the same hand. ::sigh:: HAHA I'm difficult.

hey Curly, I think you can find a wedding band that is 'thin' enough to sit under the peek-a-boo's.

Sigh, I know you have seen my ering and bands, but what you cant see is how thin they actually are. I have this beautiful detailing on the outside of the ring like yours and I didnt want to cover it up either but as soon as I started to try on different bands I saw what ones worked better.

Have you started to look at bands yet? I say start looking at some, look at those bands that are reduculously thin and see if it covers up the peek-a-boos. If you cant find one, then you can either go sans wedding band, or maybe wear the band and your ering on your left hand like was also suggested.

@Chantellamus:  I think the picture is deceiving, there isn't much of any space from the bottom of the peek-a-boo to the bottom so I'm not sure even the thinest band would work. The diamond literally is almost on my finger that's how much space there isn't left! HAHA We'll see what we come up with.

@lemilie:  I thought about that too, not soldering the rings, but it was highly discouraged by the jeweler. They see more problems with wearing of the rings on each other from sliding around so soldering is the way to go--unless they slide into one another as a set that were bought together or something.

@tessabella76:  FI did speak with the gal who helped him design the ring; unfortunately even she said more than likely I will not have a band with this type of ring due to the details and stuff. The ring is not made by a brand name designer so there isn't a ring out there that was made to fit with it. The setting came from a vendor somewhere and then FI had them alter the sides by having the tiny diamonds inserted as peek-a-boos. I would think that if there was a band that would match up the jeweler would have mentioned that...who knows. We go next week.

I know I sound so negative ladies, I'm sorry, it's just hard to put everything into words sometimes. Thank you for your suggestions! I'll let you know what I come up with.

@jesstagirl:  Thanks! I'm on my way!

@CarbonGirl:  Thank you :) The stones on either side of the diamond are my birthstone--aquamarine--and then next to those (the three small ones) are FI's birthstones of sapphires. It was my idea to put the colors together since they are in the blue family, but it was all him how they ended up!

@doctorgirl:  Good point. I just read the other day that in some countries, I think in Europe, that they wear their e-ring/wedding bands on the right ring finger not like us here in the US. Interesting!

@mizunoheaven:  Thanks! Oh and I love your ring! I'll see what the jeweler says. I was wanting some ideas to give them when we go in next week. So far, finding anything online is a little hard.

Am I the only one in the world who thinks wearing my engagement ring as my wedding ring is fine? I'm not getting an extra ring.

Your ring is beautiful. I can see why you wouldn't want to cover up the sides.
