If you purchase a great engagement ring and then determine that you don't have suitable wedding rings to enhance the look of the engagement ring. If you want to select wedding rings that can only be worn with the engagement ring, your choice is somewhat easier, because you can select a contour ring or wrap which will fit most of the profiles available in today's jewelry market.
However, if you really want to have wedding rings that can be worn alone, you will have some other issues to deal with, the first of which is that you are unlikely to have an exact fit between the wedding rings and the engagement ring. Often a solitaire engagement ring will have an area located on the side of the ring where the ring and the head join that is wider than the rest of the engagement ring band. This may prevent the wedding rings from fitting snugly against the engagement rings. A traditional straight band on your wedding rings can easily be worn along, but there may not be a snug fit because the band of the wedding rings will strike against the setting of the engagement ring, leaving spacing between the two bands on both sides of the setting.
If you are determined to have wedding rings which can be worn separately from the engagement ring, be sure to select a wedding band that is low profile. This allows the top of the wedding rings to fit just below the head of the setting on the engagement ring so that spacing between the two rings is minimized. A good example of the type of wedding rings which works well in this situation is a channel band.
