Thanks for the link beau

Just an update, the rings from circa1930s.com CANNOT be made larger

I really had my heart set on this band but it didn't turn out and I got my email reply earlier today.
www.circa1930s.com/c30shop/wband6/lwb172-flwswl/lwb172-flwswl.htm

I am going to bid on one of the eBay finds listed in this thread but I am not saying which one. Lurkers, they are everywhere

That's my favourite band from circa1930's! I have it saved for future reference. I'm waiting to see my newly set halo ring, to see if this band will 'match' the ring. It's gonna be a looooooooong 3 week wait!

I'm curious Beau - you've said repeatedly in this thread and others how vintage style isn't your taste - did you have a change of heart?
This band looks very vintage inspired to me

NOPE..I do NOT like vintage style e-rings..no change of heart here. I simply like the contrast between high polished gold,(which most of my new ring will be) paired with either a diamond band, or patterned band. I don't think this particular band (when on my finger) will look vintage. I just want a narrow band (something different looking) that doesn't have hearts or flowers all over it!! I think this particular pattern will look good next to a gold shank with a few diamonds on it. BUT..I am waiting for the wax, before I can tell for sure. Besides..these rings are so narrow in real life, you can't tell what the pattern is, unless someone grabbed a magnifying glass. The focus will still be on the main diamond of my e-ring! Sooooooo exciting..so many choices !!

I also like these type bands for stacking with my plain band, Again, it looks different, adds interest to the stack!!

Here''s one in size 9. A bit over your budget, but platinum.

TG! the first ring you posted is perfect! It is over budget but maybe I can sweet talk my honey into buying it

We will see! Thanks everyone for all your wonderful suggestions and keep them coming

I think it is beautiful!! And the price for a platinum band is not bad. Good luck, akmiss!!!
