It looks like you already picked out a band, but I wanted to throw this option out there as well, just in case you are still looking for ideas or others are as well.
I have a 2MM 21kt yellow gold textured band from Raven's Refuge on Etsy and I love it! Here it is stacked with a platinum BGD bezel band.
The 21kt is a super rich yellow which I absolutely love.

That is beautiful, and I will certainly check them out! Thank you!!

Do you worry about it being too soft for everyday wear? Did you do the brushed because of the softer alloy being easily scratched?? How has it held up, and would you ever consider this in a high polish finish?

Hi Msop04! Sorry for the delay, I've been on vacation for a while. It's not soft at all, it's actually quite durable. I wore it 24/7 on a 2 week vacation to the Caribbean recently with no issues. I was looking for a textured band as I liked the contrast of it with my other rings. I'm not sure if it would scratch more easily than other alloys if in a polished version. Feel free to reach out to the vendor, I'm sure they can help answer that question for you. Thanks!

I have this same band too! Mine is in 22kt but otherwise is identical. Raven’s Refuge was really easy to work with. I’ve had my band for a few years and while I don’t wear it daily, it’s held up well. I just compared it to the Single Stone band a couple of days ago and theirs is shinier than mine but that could also be because mine is older.

Thanks for the info! I've just decided that if it scratches... it scratches. Besides, texture makes the gold look richer, IMO! :)

Oooooh, I like that yellow one a lot -- adding it to the list! ;-) RE possible insert, I think I need a true eternity or I'll go nuts. LOL

The Gabriel stock band isn't eternity... but you can order it that way (which I did). I don't know why I don't wear it. It really is pretty, and it would look amazing in RG! One thing is it's not super comfy - the knife edge is SHARP. When I wear it as the only band alongside my ering, you can't really see it because the diamond covers it up (first world problem, amirite?? LOL)... That's something to consider unless you plan to stack such that it will be out of the way of your ering's basket/diamond/halo edge. Just FYI. :) As you can see, I barely have enough room for it on my finger - it makes my fingers look even stumpier than usual... *ugh* Too bad there's no finger lipo!!

And here ya go!!

Hi @msop04 !
Can I ask you where you got the marquis diamond band?
I have stumpy fingers too....I can only stack two skinny bands with my ering or one 3-3.5mm band.

Sure! It's from Gabriel & Co -- I just had them make it full eternity, instead of having the sizing bar that comes stock. :)

Oh NO!! Maybe you could have it shipped to a friend or family member in the States, then have them mail it to you??

@msop04 ,
Did you ever get your band? I saw a schubach Teo yellow gold engraved band listed the other day on LT and it was my size, so I jumped on it!
I think it will be arriving next week. I’m so excited bc it’s the same band that we talked about a few pages back.

I hope you absolutely love it! Happy it found a new home where it can be appreciated.

YES! I did receive it, and I love it! I haven't had a chance to take pics, but I can definitely see the difference in color from the 14K band. :) What a find on the Teo Schubach band!
