My preference is thicker, squared-edge white gold bands which they both now. I have heard thru the grapevine that the jeweler is recommending a 4 mm band that SLIGHTLY tapers toward the stone to "accentuate the diamond". I am definitely willing to send this into their expert hands since I am not super particular but am wondering what ya'lls opinion is on tapered bands such as this and if it would be better to be the same width thrroughout -- pictures would be great!!

It might give you some ideas of what you like (or is it too late?) I have a pear (1.08 D SI1) but its on a thin 1.5mm plat band with tapered baguettes on the side. Here is the pear thread - there are some real beauties in there! ~~~Thanks to PS, my wants far exceed my budget!~~~

I'm a big fan of the former (something like a modified Vatche?), but I think the latter can look imbalanced occasionally (depends on the particular setting). TyTy's suggestion of taking a peek through the pear thread is one I'd second heartily!
