Trying to get some ideas on a simple, elegant ring preferably without stones. Would want it in YG, WG or Plat. I have a lovely solitaire but find that it's not so easy to wear (I work out, it snags on clothes, etc). Thinking I might put it in the safe deposit and get a carefree band or ring to wear instead. I don't want anything flashy since that would defeat the purpose. I like the Cartier love ring but it might be a tad too big for me (my sister says it looks like a gents ring on me). I took a look at VCA and bulgari but they seem too ornate. And Tiffany doesn't seem to have anything that suits me either. Any suggestions? TIA!
Besides Cartier's Love ring, what other simple rings are out there?

If I might suggest... Dior Bois de Rose ring? It has an interesting shape (supposed to be inspired by roses) that mimics rose thorns, but the "thorns" are more of a suggestion.. they are small, rounded and smooth.
Dior makes it in plain metal, with diamonds on the thorns, or in a pave. I have 2 that I wear in a stack or sometimes separately... one is with diamonds on the thorns, the other is pave. I have yet to catch them on anything, and it is fun, whimsical, and dainty but very well made ring.
Here's a thread with pics.

^ I love the Dior Bois de Rose idea!
Another recommendation is Alishan. They were the ones that made my wedding set, and I just adore the lace pattern. It's simple, not blingy, yet unique.
The set when worn, showing the polished edge:
Mine is 18k rose gold, but they do work with yellow gold and platinum as well. Everything is handmade.

The Cartier trinity is lovely. I tried it on in store and it's very comfortable, classic and subtly chic.
If you like the VCA signature ring, but don't want the signature, the also offer a very similar version without a signature. However, instead of a polished center it has a satin finish. I don't currently see it on their website but saw it at SF NM last weekend.
I am really liking James Allen wedding bands, they have some different styles of plain ones, I especially like the slightly domed band, which comes in a multitude of widths and metals...www.jamesallen.com
Did you try the thinner love ring? They call it the "wedding band", it's thinner than the classic love ring.
The camellias are very pretty! I went to vca today. Saw the band with satin finish but actually liked the signature better bc of the shiny band. But still not a fan of the script. Thinking I will keep the cartier bc it best suits my purpose. But thanks so much for all the opinions! I now have a few other rings that I might bring into my collection with time.
