From asschers to emeralds, and ovals to pears, there are so many options within the realm of fancy-shaped bands to compliment any type of engagement ring.
We’ve outlined 5 reasons why you should pump the breaks, and consider opting for a fancy shaped eternity band!
Unique Statement Piece
In the last few decades, the desire to stand out and have more design variations for bands has surged in popularity. To set the stage, you wanted a timeless engagement ring that you would never fall out of love with, and you were overjoyed when you recieved just that. Though you love your engagement ring, maybe you are hoping to personalize your bridal set so it doesn’t match your best friend’s, and your best friends sister’s ring. Opting for a fancy shaped band is an easy way to separate your ring from your inner-circle’s sets while maintaining a timeless and classic appeal!
Match Your Fancy-Shaped Center Stone
If you have a fancy-shaped engagement ring, why not emphasize the shape with a matching diamond band?! If you are someone who is in love with the shape of your center stone, it only makes sense to carry that love over into your wedding band. Choosing the same shape as your center diamond for the band will actually enhance your engagement ring even more!
Substitute For Daily Wear
Some people don’t always feel comfortable wearing their engagement ring daily. Whether your ring sits up high, wearing your ring doesn’t make sense for the line of work you are in, or its too big/sparkly to run around daily for your comfort, you might consider investing in a piece you will wear all the time! Opting for a fancy-shaped band will still allow you to wear your favorite shape, be a little different, and even be a bit more subtle depending on what appeals most to you!
Create Visual Interest
Fancy shaped eternity bands, especially when choosing a shape that is different from your center stone, create a cool juxtaposition between the shapes! If you have a brilliant cut center diamond, trying a step-cut diamond band (like emerald or asscher) will contrast nicely against your diamond and create some visual interest in your wedding set.
Because You LOVE Them!

If you love the look and the idea of a fancy shaped eternity band, like an oval or emerald — DO IT. Take this as your sign from the universe. You’re welcome.
