can you add miligrain to a plain band?

[lasposa]

Hi ladies,

I'm wondering if it is possible to have miligrain edging added to a plain wedding band. Also, if a ring has miligrain, it is possible to resize it without causing too much of a disruption in the pattern?

Thanks!

i dont see why not i have seen plain bands with miligrain as far as re-sizing goes i have no idea

I think bands already made with milgrain will be more satisfactory because they have a little lip where the milgrain is.

I think it would entirely depend on how the plain band is made. Some would not be made right to add the milgrain. I don't know about resizing. I am sure some benches are good enough to do it and others might mess up the ring!

Usually, yes you can, but it is sort of a PIA job. Same with the sizing. It takes a bit of talent and the right tools but usually it can be done.
