MemberMy wedding band just came in. It was really important to my fiance that we have the SAME band. Same style, same thickness, etc. I… don’t love the combination, but I’m trying to keep an open mind. Any others have examples of something similar? I’m wondering if I don’t like it just because I’ve never seen it before.
MemberI think it looks nice! I am biased though 🙂
My e-ring is 1.8mm and my wedding band is 4mm. Quite a difference but I absolutely love it. Give it some time!
MemberI love this look!. I have something to PP. My e-ring band is 1.8 mm and all the bands I like to wear it with are thicker: a 5 mm, a 2.9 mm channel (pictured with a 1 mm thick dot and eye band), and a 3.5 mm. My Fi doesn’t like the thicker band look either, he doesn’t like the look of anything thicker than 2 mm. I have a 2 mm band but I really prefer the weight of the 5 mm, it feels like its going to last forever (esp. since mine looks great and is almost 150 years old).
MemberMemberMaybe a curved setting would work better so that the engagement ring sits more snugly. Would your fiance be okay if your ring was curved to accommodate the e-ring?
If not, it still looks great!
ETA: Just curious, why is it so important to your fiance that the bands are the same?
MemberMemberMemberMemberI was so surprised when he said he wanted them to match! He’s not the most sentimental (he would be very happy eloping rather than having a wedding). But I ordered an antique band for myself off Etsy and he was really disappointed because he loved the idea of having a simple yellow gold matching set. So he compromised by getting a 3 mm band, and I compromised by getting this bezeled style rather than the classic dome or a square profile. Funny how weddings bring out things you never knew about the person – he also wanted an engagement ring, while the thought of getting him one had literally never crossed my mind as an option OR something he would want.
MemberYes, I went for a 3mm full eternity band and my ering is tapered. I forgot the measurements but I know it’s smaller than 3. I do not like the look of the trendy paper thin wedding bands.

MemberI love the look of thicker wedding bands but I have super small fingers. I can only fit my engagement ring and a 1mm band 🙁
MemberI went with a thicker band as well. I like the juxtaposition and the added weight. I also like that I can wear my band by itself and still feel like it’s substantial.
MemberMy wedding band is much thicker than the engagement ring, but I had it cut to fit snugly around the stones. I wasn’t sure about the look at first, but now I’m used to it, I love it!
