    I have a princess cut engagement ring in a thick band and want something that is thinner and won't overpower my engagement diamond.  For starters, here is my ring:

     

    Choice A - five stone princess band:

     

    Or Choice B, something a little diff just to keep things interesting ;)

    B. They're both great but the second one is more interesting.

    @Nona99:  If I had longer fingers I would consider it ;)  I only have so much space between my knuckles lol.

     

    Maybe I should have done a poll....I'll try to add one now.

    I like B!! Its still delicate and classic enough to not overpower your beautiful ering's band, but it's gorgeous as well!

    I voted other just because I think a really small eternity or half eternity band would look awesome and compliment your e-ring. I'm talking like 1.5 mm!

    Both were online and have good return policies....maybe I'll purchase both, try them on and post new pics here.  I am horrible at visualizing, which is why I wanted to get y'alls opinion before I put down my money.

    I tried to find a picture with a similar e-ring to your's with one of each band so I can get an idea and I got one with both bands lol (don't mind the green gemstome) try to picture them as diamond isntead lol. And hmmm, I'm not sure, I like that the round and baguette band add a little spice to your e-ring but it might be too busy and distracting since you'd have 3 different shaped stones. But then if you go with the princess cut band it might be too plain. Maybe try an all baguette band?

    Go to the store and try some on ;)

    I would do a really thin eternity/half eternity band. Because your engagement ring is thick, a thin band would offset you e-ring really nicely!! It would add sparkle but not overpower. I saw a girl with the same combo before (really thick tension set band with really thin eternity e-ring), and it was stunning. Good luck!

    @cali_cat:  Are both bands the same thickness? Maybe my eyes are tricking me, but the second one looks slightly thinner.

    Update time!  I ordered the first ring and I think it is going to be the winner because it matches so darn well:
