Q&A: Advice on Wedding Band to Match Engagement Ring

I asked for advice from you a little over a year ago for an engagement ring and it was valuable info. I have another and last question for you.

Looking for a wedding band and I’m torn between these two. The James Allen band is a direct match to the band on my fiances ring from James Allen, but the Blue Nile one also looks (to me) to be the same exact style?

Blue Nile wedding band

As you can see there is a price range difference and wanted to know if one was worth it over the other? The James Allen one has different color grade when compared to the Blue Nile one. Which one do you think would be best to match her current ring?

Thanks!

I think the JA is a better buy. It’s not the color/clarity that’s the issue. You are getting bigger diamonds and you know that it will match up perfectly (very important).

Yeah you are probably right. I’ll go ahead and order the JA unit. Thank you!

Let me know how it looks.

Ended up returning the Blue Nile ring as it was tiny and just didn’t sparkle. The James Allen one is on order and arrives next week.

Keep me posted.

Got the James Allen one and it’s nicer !

Sounds great. Is it better or great?

I would say both!

Great to hear. I’m glad we were able to help.
