Pave setting question

I don't have a pic of the actual one we are leaning towards, but I know it's 3 pave stones across and it they do not go all the way around the band - just on the top of the band, to about halfway down the sides. (not on 3 sides) When we were looking in various stores I iniitally was leaning towards a thin pave band. But then I saw a Kwiat ring with a wider pave band and it just knocked my socks off. So we now are leaning toward the wider band. Since we are picking all the elements out seperately and our jeweler is creating it for us, I am trying to trust that all the elements I like seperately will look good together. I've been looking through the "eye candy" thread and unfortunately, I haven't seen many examples of a setting like this. What do you all think about going with a wider pave band? Have you seen anything like this around? How do you think my diamond will look with a band that width? Any examples that you've seen and liked? I know it will leave me with a thin pave band for the wedding band, but that's ok with me. Curious to see what others think, since I know the thin bands seem to be all the rage on PS. Thanks in advance!!

The setting I'm thinking of isn't quite as wide as this, the pave stones will be a little smaller, 3 across though. http://www.kwiat.com/popup.html?title=Ring%20From%20The%20Bridal%20Collection&collection=6&product=681

Do keep in mind that the width of the band could be equal to the width of your stone. the reason why a lot of gals like the thin bands is because many times the center diamond will look bigger. ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

Everytime I do see a wide band somewhere it's with a round stone. I hope the wide setting will look well with a cushion. My cushion is more rectangular than square....
