hi! Recently discovered Pricescope. I need some help fast! I recently upgraded the setting on my 1.13 RB diamond (approx F, SI1, eye clean). I wear ring size 6. I bought the Vatche X prong solitaire and love it. I needed to get a platinum wedding band and since I spent a lot on the setting, I have a limited budget. I thought I'd get a plain band and hope for a diamond band in a few years when we have more $. The Vatche matching plain wedding band is pretty pricey (~$700) and regardless of the price, I am not sure I like how it juts out. It does sit nice and flush with the e ring though. I am working with a local B&M which I trust and which matches internet prices on the vatche. They recommended if I didn't want the vatche band to go with a half round, 3 mm. They didn't have a comfort fit in the right size but when I tried it on in a size 7 it appeared to be too thick (height wise) for the the vatche. The half round seems just a bit too low profile (height wise). However, because of that, it slides under the prongs and thus there is a minimal gap between the bands. I went ahead and bought it (about $400) but am now having second thoughts. I bet they would accept it on return in the next day or two. I am posting some pictures. Can people tell me what they think? I like that if need be, I could wear the current band on its own (the vatche band just looks silly to me separate). Also,do folks think that the two rings look like too much metal on my hand, and should I get a thinner wedding band? (I notice Tiffany shows two versions of their lucida band, a thinner one and a thicker one).
Any opinions are much appreciated.
Thanks!

Can't tell from the pics, but personnally, even though I bought a band I can wear on it's own, I never do. I feel naked with only one ring on my left hand. I wouldn'r really make that a consideration. Go with what looks best as a set.


Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles- it empties today of its strength.
