Oldtown, ID wedding bands

One of the things that you want to understand when shopping for wedding bands in Oldtown, ID is the difference between straight wedding rings and curved wedding rings. This is especially true if you are planning to pair your new Oldtown, ID wedding band with your existing engagement ring. When you pair a wedding band and an engagement ring, they should look like they were made for each other and fit together seamlessly.

What Kind of Engagement Ring Do You Have?

There are essentially three different categories that engagement rings fall into. Some engagement rings are designed with a straight edged metal band which will pair nicely with a straight edged wedding band. Then, there are the engagement rings that were designed with a uniquely shaped band. Finally, there are the engagement rings that cannot sit right next to any Oldtown, ID wedding bands because the gemstone is set really low on the band. 

Each of the above categories can be paired perfectly with a Oldtown, ID wedding band, but you have to understand whether the curved and fitted band is better or if the straight band will work best. Most engagement rings and wedding bands in Oldtown, ID are designed differently, so you have to consider what you have for an engagement ring, what you like for wedding bands in Oldtown, ID, and how you can make your choices fit together flawlessly.

Here are some ring scenarios and how you can make them work together:

Prong Set or Bezel Set Solitaire Engagement Rings

The prong set and the bezel set engagement rings with high-set solitaire diamonds are popular choices that a lot of men decide to give to their fiancées, because the diamond is highlighted and stands out when it sits in a high setting. Fortunately, the height of the solitaire diamond engagement ring band with these two settings allows for the straight wedding band to sit nicely next to it.

If your engagement ring happens to be a simple, but elegant white gold band with the solitaire setting, you could pair it with a straight Oldtown, ID wedding band in a white gold or you could add to the glimmer of your solitaire diamond and get a wedding band with a channel setting that is chock full of diamonds. If you have a diamond engagement ring with diamond baguettes on each side of the diamond setting set in the prong or bezel setting, you could match a straight Oldtown, ID wedding band with matching baguettes for some added shimmer.

Low-Set Diamond Solitaire Engagement Rings

A prong set princess cut diamond that sits lower on the engagement ring band allows the diamond to protrude from the sides of the metal base. This type of ring will not fit seamlessly with a straight Oldtown, ID wedding band, because the protrusion of the diamond will create a noticeable gap between the wedding band and the engagement rings. In this case, a fitted wedding band in Oldtown, ID would work the best for a perfect combination.

When You Need a Curved Wedding Band

You will usually know when you try on a straight Oldtown, ID wedding band with your engagement ring whether you will need a curved and fitted or if a straight one will work. If you try on a straight wedding band in Oldtown, ID with your engagement ring and there is an obvious, visible gap between the two rings, you are going to want to work on finding a curved or fitted wedding band. Some of the curved wedding bands will have a slight curve, while others will have a more pronounced curve. Again, the idea is to completely bridge the gap between the two rings perfectly to create a seamless fit. Therefore, you may need to try on several curved wedding bands to ensure that you find a wedding band that is made for your engagement ring.

While your engagement ring may limit you to choosing either a straight or a curved wedding band, it does not limit you to certain types of metals, nor does it limit whether you can have diamond baguettes or other intricate features that you love. However, you may find that each jewelry store will carry certain designs of curved wedding bands that you can choose from. That may be your only limitation in regard to the difference between curved and fitted and straight wedding bands.
