What is the Best Wedding Band to Match Mother-in-Law Engagement Ring?

I would like to know what type of wedding ring band would go best with a V-setting solitaire diamond ring, with one small side stone on each side of the large center stone. The engagement ring is 14K yellow gold with a four prong white gold setting. The band has a plain style on the sides.

Could you give me some options and your best opinion? I would prefer something simple but not boring – like the bands with small diamonds on the top portion of the band (not all around, but just as an accent). The ring is on the thin side – guess around 2mm – it is my mother-in-law’s to be wedding ring.

I’ve also seen the half diamond bands that arch upwards toward the center stone – so high set the stone isn’t sticking up alone. But I know that I want a wedding band that can look great when I wear it alone only too.

Thank-you for your time.

Hello,

I am assuming by a V-setting that you mean a V prong setting on the diamond? To start with, the best band should closely match the size of the engagement ring – between 2 to 3 mm wide.

Ideally, so the colors of the bands match, the matching band should be 14K yellow gold as well (18K gold often has a color which is slightly different than 18K yellow gold, it is sometimes described as a slightly richer yellow tone).

Here are a few bands which may match the engagement ring through Gemvara. Blue Nile also has a large selection of gold wedding bands which may match the ring – but Blue Nile only offers bands in 18K yellow gold, so the band may not match exactly in color.

Hope this info helps - and good luck with your search!
