PLEASE help me pick my band!!

With 32 days left before the wedding, FH & I just went out over the weekend to look for a wedding band for me. I am torn between two & cannot pick for the life since they both have their own pros & cons. So I am hoping you wonderful ladies will tell me which one you like best & help me decide!

Option 1-Contour Band:
Pros-fits snugly to my engagement ring, will be made from scratch to fit my size 4 finger, engraving on band very similar to engraving on my engagement ring
Cons-smaller total carat weight, $250 more expensive

Option 2-Straight Band:
Pros-more appealing price, larger total carat weight, still has vintage feel with milgrain to match my engagement ring
Cons-will have to be sized down as it is a discontinued band & may not match the width of my engagement ring (the band would be wider across)

I've posted the stock photos of each band as well as photos of me trying both bands on with my engagement ring.

Thank you Ladies for your help with this :)

Why don't you go somewhere else? Those bands are really common so they should carry them at almost every jeweler. I really like the straight band the best!

I'm going against the grain and saying the contour band :)

I like #2 as well. It seems to go with your engagment ring better

I have band number 1.  I agree with you on the carat size, but they are pretty together (the band & e ring)

You know.. i'm not a fan of contoured bands... but it almost looks like it goes with your ring... I do looove the straight band... but I really don't know :(  I wish I could help more.. Have you exasperated all other options already??

I'm torn. I like both. if I had to choose, based on everything you said pro and con wise, I would say straight band. The actual look I like both, maybe the contour one a tiny bit better...  But based on price, carats, and still maintaining the feel you want, I pick straight. The width doesn't have to be exact, and it will still look great.

I like the way the contour band fits snugly with your e-ring, but I like the way the diamonds on the straight band look better.  Maybe go somewhere else to find a contour band that has a bigger carat weight?

Ring #2 - looks like it is a complete match!!

I really like the straight band. It looks really pretty with your engagement ring, and will look really nice when worn on it's own. A curved band on it's own looks like it belongs to a set, while the straight band looks complete on it's own. However, both are really pretty :) Good Luck!
