Hi, Trying to decide between two round diamond shared prong wedding bands: The first is .06 pointers 2.7 mm wide The second is .08 pointers 3.2 mm wide My e-ring is 2.7 mm wide. Should I get the first band that matches my e-ring width exactly or the second, which is slightly wider? It seems that 2.7 vs 3.2 is so close, but I've noticed that when it comes to diamonds & e-rings a fraction of a mm can make a big difference. Also, my e-ring is round 1.85 carats, any thoughts on the size of the above pointers? My goal is to not take away from my diamond, to enhance it & to help make it "pop". Should I go with even smaller pointers (.02, .03, or .04?) to acheive this? Thoughts & opinions are greatly appreciated! |

I personally like the bands to be the same size or the wedding band slightly smaller.

Id go with the one the same size as your current band because I like when the solitaire stone "overhangs" the band a little.

I like the wedding band the same size or a teensy bit smaller!

I agree go with the band that is the same size as your ering. It will match nicely and not take away from your ering. I bet it will make your stone pop!!! Please post a pic when you get it!!!!

Have you tried them on? Which do you like better? If you're ordering without seeing them, I'd choose the same width band too.

To me that same width is what looks most like it was intended. If you are buying it without trying it on the that is the way I would go. However you could alwasy order both adn then return the one that does not work for you.

I just got back from the mall & went to several B&M's, including Tiffany to look at the diamond wedding bands. For some reason, my e-ring looks the best with .10-.13 pointer diamonds in the wedding band. I couldn't understand why, then I kept looking at my hands & taking the different sizes on & off & comparing & I think it might be because I have long fingers & larger diamonds in the wedding band makes my hand look more proportionate. I was afraid that the wider band would overwhelm my stone but luckily my stone is almost 2 carats & did not, in fact it made it more eye-catching. and. Also, my e-ring doesn't sit flush with the band, creating a tiny space, a gap. I used to hate gaps but now I think they kind of work on me! I tried on .05 - .08 & none looked as good as the .10-.13 pointers. I was shocked & a little perturbed because now I have to spend more money!

I'm glad you found what worked best. You would have hated to spend a lot of $$ to be disappointed.
