Adding Baguettes to a Wedding Band
Choosing the stones for your wedding band can be a very personal process, as this ring will likely be worn daily as a constant reminder of your love and commitment. As years pass, you may want to make additions to the original wedding band that may have not been in your budget when you first were married, such as adding baguette style diamonds to the ring. Baguette diamonds can be added as a complement to existing stones or the sole touch of sparkle to a simple wedding band.
