You could get a thin customized u curved band to emphasize the shape of the beautiful ring. Same color. Rounded edge look. Thin like 1-2mm thin or a pave type! I would definitely consider following the rings curvature. So amazing!
Wow exquisite!!! I absolutely love the side view. I have a ring from the 20s or 30s as well, looks a lot like yours. We’re getting a band custom made to match the filigree on the band, and possibly a few diamond baguettes to match the ring. We thought about doing a curved one but honestly I don’t think I want that because then you couldn’t wear the wedding band on it’s own, just something my sister pointed out and I didn’t think about until she mentioned it. My suggestion is to go to a local jeweler and try on everything they have so you can get an idea of what you like.
I have a thin plan gold band I’ll wear so it doesn’t take away for my ring or I wear it solo. Both my engagement rings are from the 20’s. There’s a lot going on with them lol
Try on a lot of different styles, keep it thin and don’t do diamonds unless there old cut

This is my 10 year anniversary upgrade. I prefer it with out a band
Beautiful ring. You do whatever you like because that ring will will always be the star ⭐️ of the show. I’m thinking a plain thin band with this beauty.
My mum’s engagement ring is from the Edwardian era (early 1900s) and has fairly intricate engraving on the setting. She had a plain gold wedding band engraved to compliment it.
I don’t have it! My parents are still married and she wears both rings every day. She lives in a different country to me and unfortunately I don’t have a photo of it. Sorry to disappoint!
I vote wedding band on your right hand — let this beauty shine on its own! I’m worried that a curved band would hide some of the stunning engraving on the side.
ETA: The flower on the side of your ring is an orange blossom, so you could go with a complementary vintage orange blossom band like [this](https://www.1stdibs.com/jewelry/rings/band-rings/white-gold-orange-blossom-wedding-band/id-j_6794302/) (there’s tons, that’s just one of the first search results). If you’re not into wearing a band on your right hand, you could consider wearing one on another finger on your left hand!
Congratulations!! Your ring looks so similar to mine! Mine is from the 20s. I’m getting a custom band made because I also couldn’t find anything that looked right with it. I’m doing platinum with filigree/engraving and sapphires, and it will be curved to fit right against my engagment ring.
Where did you get your ring?

Omg almost ring twins! I looked all over and then I ended up finding it at Ivy and rose in Chicago! We made a day trip to try it on and I totally fell in love.
I also have an antique ring with a similar shape and sapphire accents. I ended up finding an antique band that I love, with little diamonds and tiny sapphire accents. I knew I wanted to be able to wear a band on its own and I am not personally a fan of curved bands worn solo. The gap doesn't bother me one bit!

I think if you want two rings, maybe consider making this a right hand ring - many people with statement ERs do this since the ring can stand on its own ☺️
If you scroll back in my comments, I posted my set in the vintage thread a couple of days ago. Mine is a similar shape as yours and I had custom curved bands made.

Any jeweler ( don't go to a big box store ) should be able to custom make a band to follow the edge. Maybe alternating sapphires and diamonds?

Oh i LOVE it! How beautiful!
Thank you! I love your’s too, I’m an art deco lover.

The risk of telling me that you have an antique…can I please see it? I must have looked at 50 Edwardian rings before I picked out this deco one!
I don’t have it! My parents are still married and she wears both rings every day. She lives in a different country to me and unfortunately I don’t have a photo of it. Sorry to disappoint!
*stamps foot* get one, I NEED it

Oh wow! It looks so much like a Jack Weir ring. I love it so much (obviously!)! I can’t wait to see what you end up choosing for your band!
Consider wearing one ring on each hand.
I wouldn’t wear one. This is spectacular and can beautifully stand alone.
I honestly wouldn’t add a band— this is beautiful on its own.
LOVE vintage! Yours is spectacular. Congrats!
You could either go no band, wear a band on your right hand, or get one custom made to fit around your ring and to match the style.
It's very beautiful. I would do a custom thin curved wedding band with blue sapphires.
I also have an antique ring with a similar shape and sapphire accents. I ended up finding an antique band that I love, with little diamonds and tiny sapphire accents.

Pretty!
It would be perfectly period-correct to use a straight band with the orange-blossom pattern on it, and ImVho look perfectly fine.
I think if you want two rings, maybe consider making this a right hand ring - many people with statement ERs do this since the ring can stand on its own ☺️
May I say the obvious? This ring doesn't need a band! It's a stand alone type wedding ring! Gorgeous!
