I''ve started the hunt for the perfect wedding band. My ering has a matching band, but I''m not sure I want it for two reasons.
First, I''d like to be able to wear my w-band on its own and that particular band wouldn''t look very good on its own. Second, the original design has a .50ct (5.2mm) centerstone, two .10ct marquise sides (2mm X 4mm) and a 1.2mm shank. Mine has .13ct sides (the jeweller put them in because that''s what he had in stock and didn''t charge us more for them) and they are closer to 2.5mm X 4.5mm, so the difference in proportion to the centerstone is pretty noticeable. I''m concerned that the matching band with .13ct stones as well would overwhelm my beautiful diamond, and I really wouldn''t want that.
I''ve tried on some bands with my ering, but the places I visited didn''t have anything thinner than 2mm and it doesn''t look good at all with my ring.
I thought about having a matching 1.2mm plain rounded band made, and then I thought maybe the 1.5mm eternity band from Signed Pieces would be nice (or a 1.2mm replica), and then I thought maybe it''d be nice to add a little colour and have a diamond and sapphire eternity band made to match...
You all know how terribly indecisive I am, and I''ve been going back and forth on this for the last few days. Or maybe someone here has a better idea?
I''ll attach a few pics in case someone wants to have fun with Photoshop. I hope they''re not useless. TIA!
