Question about band width--

ame Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,452 Last Post: 2/7/2006 Member Since: 7/7/2004	My E-ring is on a 3mm band, it was a band with a head attached. My question is...I want it a 2mm. I was told that it was possible to "sand" it down to a 2mm but I don't know ifthey meant before or after the head was installed. Would it be possible to get it sanded down without having to have it dismantled? Id like it a 2mm because the 3 makes my diamond look smaller. How long would it take to do? A matter of minutes?

He made it out like they could really do it easily and fast but I wanted to see what others thought . Ill be going by at lunch to pick up my new appraisal forms so I can have it done then. Its really nice now but I want the diamond to look bigger

When I first had my ring filed down, it was 3mms but the edges were not rounded down. It looked like the edges of the ring had been sawed off...wbich they had! I later had them round the edges down and then it matched my 3mm wedding band better but not perfectly. Because the band originally had been a rounded 4mm band, there was more gold in the middle. It ended up slightly "taller" than my 3mm wedding band, if that makes any sense. I later had this same band filed down to about 1.5mms. It was very thin and I loved it but it did not look like ohter very thin bands because again, it was a taller setting...coming up off the finger a tiny bit more than the typical solitaire.
