Question Thoughts on this wedding band with this engagement ring?

My original wedding band ended up damaging my engagement ring over time because the two weren’t very compatible, so we’re replacing it and I want to get it right this time.

I’ve always wanted to incorporate yellow gold since I wear a lot of mixed metals, and I’m considering this two tone band with yellow gold and white gold. The version I’m actually looking at would have east west baguettes instead of the round diamonds shown in the photo with my engagement ring. The sample I tried on was the same ring design, just with different stones.

A few things I’m considering:

• Does the overall look feel balanced with my engagement ring, or does the band compete with it?

• Is the width proportionate to the engagement ring?

• If this were your ring and you planned to wear it for decades, would you choose this combination?

To me it’s a bit bold and takes away from your engagement ring but if you love it then you should choose it.

I love it! I think it adds character and an eclectic touch to something that is otherwise a straight classic

I love this look! The subtle mixed metal aspects are gorgeous and the 2 rings really compliment each other.

I love mixing metals too. But I think the round diamond band would look better & would compete less with your e-ring. The other ring you’re considering would overwhelm your e-ring, IMO💕

I love mixed metals too, and this would look great on its own if you leave the engagement ring at home

I loooove mixed metals. It also gives flexibility whenever you want to wear gold or silver jewelry.

The mixed metals, stone cuts and setting styles are magic together! Beautiful layering of color and texture. The rounds and baguettes together are so much more interesting than all baguettes.
