Which wedding ring profile would go with my engagement ring?

Options
Hello MSE wedding-ers,

I'm determined to order our wedding rings this weekend from Betts Metals...
Can anyone help me figure out which wedding ring profile I should order? I posted pics here;
http://www.bettsmetalsales.com/forum/showthread.php?2581-Which-wedding-ring-profile-should-I-buy

I'm really not sure whether it would be a standard court or a "cushion court" http://www.bettsmetalsales.com/c-Wedding-Ring-Blanks_Cushion-Court
I'm thinking its more of a cushion court, but the thinnest they do at Betts is 2.5mm and that is light weight - 1.3mm deep whereas my engagement ring is 1.5mm deep. Would that look stupid?

Any suggestions?

Thanks :T

    Does it have to be from Betts Metals? I got my 2mm 18ct yellow gold band from The Beautiful Company really cheap and I love it! I guess the thing to bear in mind is that you want to wear it forever, so you might as well get the size/shape/style you actually want!

    This is the link I used http://www.thebeautifulcompany.co.uk/wedding-rings/yellow-gold-wedding-rings

    Good luck with whatever you decide to go with, your engagement ring looks beautiful :)

    Thanks ladies :) Think I need to get bum in gear and check it against a few shapes in shops...what Arthien said resonated in my head and I won't take any risks with a ring I need to wear forever!

  • I can only suggest what I am going to do (have a wishbone engagement ring, but want a straight band wedding ring and no idea if it will work) is go to high street jewellers and try stuff on that is similar to what you are thinking of ordering online. At least, that's my plan... if I can find a time when the groom isn't busy -.-
    Officially saved enough to cover the cost of our wedding! :A

We got my hubby to be's ring on the saturday and we ordered on Thursday...engraved, hallmarked and polished heavy weight 4mm yellow gold court. Perfect!
