Not being mean, but blurry photos will "make" the stone look much bigger than they actually are, kinda makes it not true to life. I''ve noticed that trend when I take photos of my ring on my mobile.
And I really agree with a 1 carat swamping my finger, its nice but not right now. Heh, there is a 2 - 2.5ct calling my name for when I am >40!  Kaili: Its okay, I understand completely and do wish I had the money and lifestyle to carry off a much bigger stone too, but reality beckons.

You can see my diamond in this thread. I have been looking at settings like Treysar and Reena. I think they are gorgeous! I''m also looking at settings that have a smaller mm band to make the stone look larger on me. Looking at all of these gorgeous rings is so much fun!!

Unfortunately, I do not have a matching band. I'd always wanted a matching wedding set and actually chose that ering because Whiteflash said they'd have the matching band shortly after I was engaged. Well, I settled on a plain wg band (my ering is platinum) because I couldn't picture how the WF band would look. I hope to some day either have WF design something especially for my ering or get a diamond eternity 2mm ring from Signed Pieces or WF. My wg band yellowed shortly after getting married so now I'm left either wearing my band alone, my ering alone or wearing a cz eternity with it. You can read more about wg/platinum rings in: Wearing platinum and white gold together? Some day I'll have my matching wedding band  See. I'm just not crazy about this band from WF. I'd like something that I can wear w/out the ering and this really doesn't look like you can.

Does the plain band fit next to the ring ? Perhaps WF can set the little doamond clouds in a confort fir platinum band. Can''t see why not. Perhaps they just wanted to be "different" with this offcenter knife edge design and went just a bit over the edge... with no practical reason behind the choice.  Actually... that looks like an appealing fashion ring to me.

"beam me up.." ROFL!!
That space band is really unique.Here is a set from my dad's family. My mom didn't want it so I gladly adopted it. I think the rb is about .30 ct. no idea about the band. Must be about a 5.5-6 US ring size since my middle finger is the closest fit(and it comes off a bit too easily).

Here is my ering...
Diamond: .75 RB Ring Size: 6.75 To add to what JCJD said about a pave halo making a stone look bigger, a thin band will help too. I think that is one thing that helps my stone look bigger is the band being so thin.  |

This isn't the best pic but this is my original e-ring diamond, a 0.38ct H, SI2 round. I had it in a different setting before but recently had it reset in a dvatche/x-prong type setting. The original setting had 0.12ct of side stones (3, 2 pt diamonds on each side). Now that it is in the solitaire, I think it looked bigger with the sidestones.
Edited to try reposting the pic.

I just love that setting Treysar.
Here is mine. It's a .86 Star 129 (it's a129facet modified rb) I wear a 5.5. Its loose more often than it's perfect. I hope my wedding band is here soon!!!!!!! DAMN HIM AND HIS SECRETS! I WANT MY RING!!!!!! Ok..Im ok...breathe. Oh and if you think of a cool setting idea let me know. Im still fighting with making it a 3 stone with some quarter carats of the same cut.

Welcome sweetpinkshubby!!! We hear that you two are gleefully happy newlyweds - Congrats!! I agree with ame, but sweetpink didn''t hear that.
 Hey Ivy - could you get two of those matching wedding rings, one for each side of your ering (a la Patty and marriahlyn), and then you could wear them together without the ering when you wanted to. They wouldn''t look as spaceship-y that way. |

JCJD, As you can see, the band fits the ering in an odd way and 2 bands just wouldn''t sit next to each other very well. They are slightly tilted out. I was told that they were designed like that so that the band would not rub against the ering. I actually sketched a band for the ering today and sent it to Whiteflash. Let''s see if it can be done. BTW, I''d never noticed it, but it really does look spacey.
