Have an experienced jeweler do it and it's no problem. I've had it done to my diamond twice with no harm at all.

You're not an "insane nutjob" ...You should have what you want, how you want it... this isn't a $15 tee shirt---it's a mutlti-thousand dollar diamond!

haha I am so insane. I seriously think I have OCD. I carry a loupe with me and examine it all the time. Its being done right now, and they are thinning my band from 3mm to 2 as well. Gotta make the rock bigger

LOL< I had to go back a couple of posts, I could not figure out why you were getting your HAND sanded down. Made a lot more sense when I saw that you actually said BAND...

HAHAHA! Yea I could get my hand sanded down. It would be a little less "man hand" that way

The turning and the sanding went perfect. Its a little funny lookin on its own but with the other band next to it, PERFECT.

I love how it makes the rock look like a honker again (that means BIG!).
