Wedding Ring and Engagement Ring Gap?

Christina, on October 4, 2018 at 2:38 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 18

Hi all! I'm looking for my wedding band to compliment my engagement ring, and the one I like will leave a gap between the rings due to the setting on my engagement ring. Does anyone else have rings like this? I would love to see pictures to see how that looks. Thanks!

P.S. The company where I'm getting my ring sent this photo to try and talk me into a curved wedding band instead. I'm worried I won't like how the curved band looks without the engagement ring, which is why I'm hesitant.

    I didn't like the curved bands either (my e-ring is a Halo so that's the obvious choice) so I got this criss cross band!

    I like the way wedding bands and engagement rings look when they have a gap. I wouldn’t want it to look like they’re one ring personally!

    My rings looks very similar to the example of the "straight" ring you posted and I actually prefer my wedding ring and e-ring to have a little gap. I personally really don't like the look of rings that look like one, I like people to see that I am married and it's not just an elaborate e-ring!

    Plus, if you got the curved band you would probably want to have them soldered together, otherwise they might cause damage to each other if they misalign. With the straight bands you have the option of wearing just the wedding band by itself.

    This is mine. But honestly, I don’t plan to wear a wedding band past the wedding day. I’m not sure how I feel about the gap. Maybe this thread will help ease my thoughts....maybe not. Lol.

    Lol no worries! Seeing it on someone, I do like the gap. I just wasn't sure before. Thanks for the info about the rings misaligning! I hadn't even thought of that.

    I have gaps but outside of the middle since my e-ring band tapers down in size. I like how it looks though

    My wedding band was carved down/out a bit where the engagement ring main stones go, so they fit together next to each other. I'll post a pic of I can get one!

    I really really wanted a straight band. I wanted to be able to wear it alone, as you said. But it just didn't work with my setting. It wasn't just a gap, it didn't sit well on my finger.
    So, the jeweler pulled this one out. It's slightly curved but not super noticeable and can be worn alone. I absolutely love it! Anything else i liked i would have been settling. It doesn't look like one big nice ring either
    i suggest to keep looking, don't settle!

    You gotta do you! I’m OBSESSIVE that my engagement and wedding band fit together like one ring, no gaps or anything! But obviously there’s a lot of people on here that feel the opposite! If you love it, get it!

    I think if I got bands that fit with each other, I’d be obsessive too. I won’t wear my band after, so I dont care too much. I will take pics of my rings in Harry Potter books at the wedding, but not in my finger.

    I have the same problem with my band not fitting my engagement ring. I've decided If I'm not able to have the jeweler fix it then I will wear it anyway. Wedding Ring and Engagement Ring Gap? 9

    Personally I love the gap! My engagement ring has a more vintage setting and sits low, but I like it the way it is. I’m seeing more and more brides do “the gap” these days - especially with the popularity of large, low-set emerald and radiant cuts - and I think if you like it, do it!Wedding Ring and Engagement Ring Gap? 12

    I personally love a little gap & I wanted a straight wedding band so I could wear it alone at work if I wanted. Wedding Ring and Engagement Ring Gap? 13

    I'm having trouble with this too because my ring has leaves all around it. I will say this though, if you have them fit together and plan to keep wearing your engagement ring, it's best to attach them together. My mom has a wedding ring that fits around her engagement ring but they ended up loosening the stones on each other so she had the two bands melted together

    Wedding Ring and Engagement Ring Gap? 14
    Mine has a large gap, as I have a an anniversary band and my engagement ring together, now I can get a band made to go between then that will allow flush on both sides but I will have to get it custom made so that it will fit right up against my engagement ring. I like my gap and I love that my piece is unique and out of the box ❤️
