Congratulations! You're engaged, you're knee deep in wedding planning, and the next thing on your to-do list is to order your wedding bands. Where do you start?

Diamond expert and designer Catherine Angiel shares the advice she gives to clients who are trying to decide how their engagement rings and wedding rings should compliment each other.

"Choosing a wedding ring that embodies your unique style, feels timeless, and suits the kinds of activities you engage in on a daily basis are important things to consider," says Catherine. "Will you wear the band on it's own without the engagement ring? Do you want the engagement ring to sit flush with the wedding band?"

Read on to discover how to narrow down your options and choose the perfect wedding band.

The First Step

The first step to consider is if a flat band can sit flush with your engagement ring. Take the below style, for example. It is set high enough that a band can sit underneath the diamond, flush with the band of the ring.

However, if you have a low profile style like below, you might want to consider choosing a curved band to compliment the engagement ring and fit perfectly around the diamond.
