When I was looking for a wedding band for my MM Petite Torchiere I searched and searched on here for anyone who had bands by Mark Morrell. I wanted a plain band for now (and maybe some sparkly sparkly later on..

) and I was unable to find really anything.
Even Mark''s site only has a few and most of them have the curve which I did not want.
This wedding band was custom made my Mark for me.

Main things I wanted were:
a thin band - this is just under 2.5 mm.
a band that sat as flush as possible with my e-ring knowing that with out the knoch it would not be perfect.
same blend of gorgeous fluid Platinum as my e-ring which was why I was adamant about going back to Mark for this.
something that would be wearable on it''s own for things like travel

I think Mark (as usual) did an AMAZING job. For such a simple ring there were a lot of questions and decisions. We ultimately decided that a knife edge style ring (which was something I did not think would look good at first) was indeed the way to go. I was worried the pointy edges would bother me but they don''t at all.

So - here goes!!

another side view (that last one looked sort of lopsided - it''s not. )

the underside...here the difference in the width is more drastic as the band is the same all the way around and the e ring is slightly thicker at the bottom. Also you can see the knife edge detail against the rounded edges of the e ring, which I was unsure if I would like the look but I think it looks fine.

here you can see the "patina" platinum gets - which I really wish didn't happen. I love the smooth fluid shiny look but oh well.

Wow, I never though I''d like a plain band so much. It''s very elegant (in a way that other plain bands aren''t), and looks perfect with your gorgeous ER. Well done!!

Thank you! I''m really happy with the way it turned out.
I do want something with diamonds - I''m thinking GeckoDani''s bezel set 3/4 eternity that Whiteflash is now doing as stock. But that may have to wait for an anniversary present!

Wishful, I''m so glad you came back to post pics of the wband. It looks AMAZING with your ring - I LOVE your set! I also love how you can barely see the gap - the rings look perfect together.

Thank you! Yeah that was my BIG thing...I really wanted something that was as close to flush as possible..with out the curved notch.
Mark has lots of notched rings that are designed specifically for his signature rings (Torchiere, Sunburst, Flame etc) and DH was really pushing me to at least consider going in that direction.
But ultimately I wanted to be able to have options with the band. I wanted to be able to wear it on it''s own and have a classic wedding set. So a plain straight band was what I wanted and stayed with.
As I posted before - I DO want a band with diamonds but I need to let my husband come out of shock after all this diamond research/appraisal/ design/ buying etc. haahhaa..
