I’m looking for a wedding band to go with my ring. My previous ring was a pear-shaped lab-grown diamond ring from karaters, and I’ve been really happy with it. I’ve attached a picture.
For those who have bought a lab-grown diamond wedding band, what should I look for in terms of setting and durability? Any recommendations for styles that would pair well with a pear-shaped ring?
