My new BIL just had a gold handcarved band and it was 9 mm wide. I'm just trying to judge yours from the pics. It looks like it would be quite comfortable.

ccuheartnurse Ideal Rock Total Posts: 709 Last Post: 11/27/2007 Member Since: 5/22/2002	Josh, There's nothing basic about that ring. Its really a great design, & very masculine. I love it. How much does that baby weigh? It looks heavy! Also, it looks wide, how wide is it? Whats the depth? LOL I'm sorry for the intrusive questions Josh. I've been looking at wedding bands for my fiance, & he'll need a size 14, wants it 6mm wide, & with a depth of 2.5mm. And, he wants platinum. It's going to weigh about 23g. when completed. THATS heavy! Judy :-)

I must have missed the original thread about this ring (if it existed), but is this ring going to be your wedding band or is this a gift from you to you? Judy :-)

I'll have to be careful when swatting the mesquitos off my head though...lol This ring is both a gift from me to me and also is my wedding band. What is your fiance considering? Is he looking for a thick rich solid band or something a little more involved like this ring with stones? -Josh Josh Rioux Haines, Alaska The Colored Gemstone Nut

ccuheartnurse Ideal Rock Total Posts: 709 Last Post: 11/27/2007 Member Since: 5/22/2002	Hi Josh, LOL @ the mosquito comment. haha My fiance wants a band just like the one I posted but in all platinum & shiny hammered centre. Believe it or not, a lot of the commercial companies (ie: Diana, Artcarved) have a width of 6mm but only a depth of say 1.5 & 1.7mm. Not to mention they use 95 plat. & 5 Irridium. I think this is pretty cheap for the cost of these rings. ArtCarved actually cant give you a straight answer if the band is irridium or ruthinium, they have no clue. Thats customer service?? So, I contacted Greg of Ringdesigner.com & he's going to make it to the specs my fiance wants. At 1st his price was for 95 Plat/5 Irrid. but I asked Greg if he could use 5 Ruthinium instead & he graciously said yes he could. :-) THATS customer service. I'm glad to hear you also got great customer service with the folks who made your ring. :-) Judy :-)

The nice thing about getting a ring custom made is your not limited to anything that deals with the original design. Some companies will do customizing like adding accent stones, but for the most part the overall design will not change. The unique thing about going custom is there are no limitations and you can fabricate anything you want into the design. Please let me know what the final outcome is and post some pic's too.

The setting is so unique, you'll definitely get a lot of attention from people ogling over it. I'm not a jewelry expert or anything but it reminds me of a medieval european ring for some reason.
