With all the attention we like to give finding the perfect engagement ring, it’s easy to forget about the wedding band. While choosing your wedding band might seem easy, the task gets tougher when you have a less conventional engagement ring. Even finding a wedding band for classic pear-shaped engagement rings can be difficult.

Which is why we tapped Olivia Landeau, founder and CEO of The Clear Cut and all-around diamond expert, for her insight on finding the best band to fit against your pear-shaped diamond. “When shopping for your wedding band, the shape of your center stone on your engagement ring is less important than the actual setting of your engagement ring,” she says.

According to Landeau, once you know your setting, you’ll be able to find the right band to complement your ring. If your stone is set in a solitaire setting or in a delicate pavé diamond band, you can choose something as simple as a matching band or perhaps even a curved one.

If your setting is more complicated, there are more things to consider. “If your pear-shaped diamond is set in a three-stone ring with side stones, you may have a bit of space between your engagement ring and your wedding band,” she explains. “Because of this, you may want to consider an understated band as to not take away from your engagement ring.”

Landeau also adds that one thing you should avoid when searching for a wedding band to wear with your pear-shaped engagement ring is mixing faceting patterns on the same finger: “I wouldn’t recommend getting a larger emerald-cut eternity band if you wanted to wear it on the same finger as your brilliant-cut pear-shaped engagement ring. The difference in the patterns can create a confused look.”

Next, the popular engagement ring style celebrities are still loving.

Bold statement: Tie-dye is the new animal print. The trend has blown up since fashion month began and, naturally, Reformation has been quick to embrace the trend (as the brand is with every trend it chooses to embrace). Last week, the brand released a collection of tie-dye T-shirts, and I, for one, basically added every one of them to my cart. It seems I wasn’t alone, as the brand shared with me that one of them (the long-sleeve pistachio green tee) sold out on the first day (but don’t worry, it’s making more), and almost every girl in Reformation headquarters bought a piece from the collection as soon as it launched. 

As of today, sizes in several other styles are selling out, proving this is undoubtedly the cult Reformation item of the moment, and it probably doesn’t hurt that each tee is under $50, so if you love them so much that you want to buy all of them, it’ll still only set you back less than $250.
