2mm wedding band with 3mm e-ring?

P: 1/6/2009 11:14:14 PM
february2003bride Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,100 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/18/2005	My new platinum Scott Kay setting should be here by the end of this week and I'm trying to decide on a plain wedding band. I ordered a 3mm comfort fit from e-weddingbands thinking that it would be the best match, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe a 2mm would look best and be more comfortable? The SK setting is 3.1mm wide and tapers down to 2.25mm at the bottom, and the depth is 3.7mm high and tapers down to 1.7mm at the bottom. I've tried searching on PS for thin wedding bands with wider e-rings and haven't found that many. I'd love opinions and/or photos of thinner bands with wider rings!

I've also got the slightly less than 2mm knife edge band that I sometimes pair it with. Not sure if this helps, but here they are: Run turkey, RUN! (Little man in the avatar is my nephew.)

The lighting is horrible here, but I just snapped a quick pic and resized it to as close to life as I could (at least on my screen). Run turkey, RUN! (Little man in the avatar is my nephew.)

february2003bride Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,100 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/18/2005	Thank you! Having owned a knife edge ring, I do think the kinfe ege gives the illusion of looking much thinner than it actually is. I'm thinking maybe a 2mm heavy comfort fit (2mm depth)? Or maybe just a regular 2mm comfort fit (1.5mm depth)? ETA: Your rings are still so fab Gecko!! Love them!

ETA: I think the domed band holds it's own better - and mine is really low profile too. Run turkey, RUN! (Little man in the avatar is my nephew.)

Julian at Pearlman's told me that the setting is gorgeous, very classic. But agreed with me that the prongs could be thinner. All I asked was that the jewler make them even. I can't wait to get it! I've searched high and low on Ps looking at Scott Kay rings and have gone through your threads several time!

A little more interesting then a plain band when worn alone? Just a thought! Here are links to her threads and some pics. I've been debating getting one myself, LOL, so I can dress down my solitaire a bit on occasion. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=97452 http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=97657 Run turkey, RUN!

My two cents, for what its worth. I love the 2.5mm sized bands. I've tried on the 2mm bands and they're a tad too skinny for my tastes and I have a few 3mm bands already, but the 2.5mm seems to be the goldilocks size. Just right.

What's funny is that the trend use to be wide wedding band, thin solitaire (in my mom's wedding days) but in the last few years I've seen more wide e-rings with thin bands. I'm trying to find more plain sets to compare and most of the thin w-bands with wide e-rings are diamond.

FrekeChild Ideal Rock Total Posts: 12,912 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/14/2007	My current ering tapers from about 2.5 to 3.75. I tried it with a 2mm band and I HATED the look. This is partially because the most important aspect that I wanted in an ering was for it to be 2mm because I'm uncomfortable with thicker rings on my fingers. It looked good with only two bands, a scattered diamond band that was about 3mm and a round channel set sapphire band (I have a blue spinel ering). I didn't even like it with the 3mm plain band. So I'm getting a reset. It's a long story... But I would get the ring, and then go try it on with a variety of bands and see what you like with it. Oh, and look up MovieZombie's set. The 8ct Spessartite in a really thick gold band with a 2mm or so band... _______________________________ "Women are either goddesses or doormats."

musey Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,163 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 9/30/2006	Here's a useful thread: Wedding sets: any 2mm e-rings with 3mm wedding bands? Here's the first pic I posted in that thread... as I said in there, the "shoulders" of my ering are 3.3mm, but the rest is 1.9-2mm. The "wedding band" on the top is a 2mm high-dome, and the one on the bottom is a 3mm half-round.

musey Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,163 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 9/30/2006	Another pic from there... The bottom band in both pics is the Tiffany Lucida (half-round) 3mm. The top one on the left is the stainless steel high dome 2mm, and the top one on the right is a 14k WG pipe-cut 2mm. As you can see, the higher the dome/knife edge, the thinner the "look" of the band. The 2mm pipe-cut band almost looks close to the same width as the half-round 3mm band, but the high-dome 2mm band looks significantly thinner than the 3mm. The knife edge would show this difference in look in an even more pronounced way.

Hi, have you looked into Benchmark wedding bands? They seem to have quite a few comfortable and simple designs with a decent lifetime resizing service. I saw a couple 3mm with some small diamonds in a channel setting that may complement your ering and make it appear thinner than a plain band. An example on www.joyjewlers.com is pt513522p good luck!
