The way my ering is built no matter what bands I wear with it there will always be a gap, I actually never did mind because I like being able to see the separation of rings, meaning I like seeing my ering being its own ring and the 2 bands I wear with it adding to the look but not taking away from my ering. I also do not like the look of one huge wide ring so maybe that this why I chose my bands to all be super thin and the gap helps not have that really solid wide look...
I'm so glad this thread was started! DH bought me a new engagement ring for our 10th wedding anni last year. It's a bezel setting, which I love, but I haven't been able to fine a WB that will sit flush. This was really bothering me, I thought there was supposed to be NO gap. And I really don't like the curved bands, don't like the look to begin with and don't care for the fact they can't be worn solo. This is making me feel like I should go looking again at bands and not worry whether there is a gap. I'd love to see more photos of sets with gaps, if any of you ladies have any!! Thanks!
When DF and I were shopping for my e-ring and WB, we thought that having a a flushed WB would be the way to go. But now my wedding set has a gap in between and I really enjoy having that. I like how it separates the rings and you can see each one individually. I have not gotten my WB yet since our wedding will be in June, but I have added a RG band to complete the look.
With my first wedding set (Tiffany Lucida and matching Lucida diamond and ruby eternity), there is no gap and I like the look. In fact, I really preferred the flushess to having a gap when I first got engaged/married. However, my husband recently got me a new wedding set (Tiffany yellow diamond bezet with an Elsa Peretti nine diamond "wave" wedding ring). This new set does have a gap but I don't really mind it at all. I intend to get the peretti ring in YG and RG and stack it with the two nine diamond platinum ones I currently have to create my own "trinity"-look ring, if you will.
I actually wanted my e-ring and band to have a gap. 
My e-ring has a basket setting so I definitely didn't want to have a curved band so it can sit flush. I personally don't like the flush look...it looks like 1 big e-ring (hard to put into words). Someone put it best...it's effortless...they don't match but it makes one cohesive look.

I agree. Sometimes I wear just my WR and I like having the option. My gap is small, and I would prefer that they sit flush, but it matters more to have the flexibility.
Same. I don't like when they fit together like a puzzle so they have to be worn together. The only issue for me though is that if that the gap is too large the band would end up being on or very close to my knuckle which is uncomfortable because my fingers are short.
I have never cared for anything matchy matchy, whether it's in fashion or jewelry. I've always had a gap between my rings and love how it looks!
I LOVE THE GAP. At first I hated it, and now I love it. When I got married I didn't have a solitaire so i just wore a band (approx 3mm). A year later DH bought me a solitaire. At first i didn't like the way the band and solitaire looked together since they band is thicker than the band on the solitaire. For the last year I've been wearing the band on my right hand.
I deiced a while ago to try wearing them together and now that i'm use to it, I LOVE IT! I don't care that there is a gap is rather large (as my solitaire is a low set EC ) and I don't care that the band is "wider". It's perfect for me, and that's all that matters!

interesting, how popular diamond band rings are as wedding rings.
where I live, wedding rings are 98% simple, plain gold rings.

Mine is simple band with one small diamond (I think 2 points). I never take it out.
It is very rare over here to see full diamond bands as original wedding rings. Eternities are usually anniversary presents and/or presents for having a baby.
