First, thanks to all who've contributed to the vast information to this site!!

I've done lots of reading up on pave bands and am hoping that you can help me answer some questions...

I'm thinking of getting a 3-sided pave band for my wedding band (like the Tiffany 3-row pave), but after reading about the risks of diamonds falling off, I'm now a bit reluctant.  I can't say I'm very delicate with my hands, although I take off my e-ring once I get home.

I want to know whether a 3-sided pave band will scratch against my e-ring if I wear them together?  My e-ring is 18-karat white gold (follow link to see pictures: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=112392

Are there any PS vendors that have great workmanship for pave bands?  I've read that LM does a great job, but because I live in Toronto, Canada, going to see him in person is a bit difficult. 

Thanks for all your help!

yes, a 3 sided pave band will scratch up your e-ring. you'd be better off just doing a single row. Some folks do get a really thin spacer ring to wear in between a pave ring and their e-ring.

A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

Is it possible to have two sided pave.. so the side that sits alongside your ering is smooth?

If I get a spacer ring, I guess it will still scratch against the pave band, but at least it's not bad as scratching the prongs of my e-ring.

I was thinking the same thing.  Do they exist?? Does anyone have any pictures of a two-sided pave?  I think I came across a picture of one the other day, but can't seem to find it anymore...

You can certainly ask for a jeweler to custom make you one. I do remember someone on here having one. I don't recall who made it though.

Jack Kelege makes one to go with his 3 sided pave rings.  Unfortunately, I do not have pictures but it does exist
