.25 Whiteflash ACA eternity

[bgray]

If I have an eternity band made up of .25 ACA rounds which are approx 4mm across and they are set in bezels how much width will the metal add to the width of the band? Am I understanding this correctly that a stone that is approx 4mm by 4mm will create a 4mm plus a mm or so wide band?

I should also aske if anyone has a similar band to this?

Best place to direct you question is to WhiteFlash.
Give them a call. They should be very happy to answer your questions.

Follow up: I am debating how the rounds will work visually with my E-ring. The consensus is a stand alone band but never with the E-ring. I would like the option of wearing it with my E-ring.

What about rounds set in squares? How are held in place? I think the square would complement my step cut e-ring but the rounds provide the sparkle I crave. any thoughts or Pix?

You could do rounds set in squares. I have seen alternating circles and squares but they all contained a round stone.
I think they might have been bead set but I''m not sure. I''ll go see if I can find the example I am thinking of.


Ok, couldnt find the circle/square one but did find a square/marquise example. You really have to see the larger
image to see how the round stones are set into the squares. I dont think this really is anything like you are looking
for but it is an example of a round stone in a square peg

(also, these stones are a whole lot smaller than
you are looking at).

Do you have any pics of your engagement ring? We might be able to give you some suggestions with round
stones. If you look at my avatar you can see that I wanted to add some more bling with my wedding band.
The matching baguette wedding band just really didnt have much flash so I paired it with a 5 stone. Its not
matchy-matchy but I''m happy with the added bling the rounds give me.

i am imagining .25 rounds set in milgrained "boxes"............

I take it your engagment ring is faily substantial because this would be a fairly wide ring. Atleast 6 mm right? The 4mm stones then 1mm for
metal on each side? I wish we could find a square example with larger stones. I'm going to go look some more.

Edit
Where here is a much larger stone set in a square bezel just to give you an idea...

Yes my ring is a large emerald cut with two slim side stones. i need a bigger chunkier band with sparkle..........so i want about 4 to 6mm wide. The first link does illustrate what i am thinking........what do you think about how that would look as an eternity band?

anyone seen aband like this?

Hey,
I''m having a hard time picturing how the square would come together. How are your drawing skills? I''ve seen lots of folks sketch
things out. Might be worth a try...or if you have the right tool you can take that 1st picture, crop out the big square, scale it down
some then attach a few together to see how they might look in a row. You would have to use your imagination to picture it curving
though.

Maybe I''ll try to do something up...I''m never good at this and I dont have the write tools but sometimes I get lucky.

Does you engagment ring have any milgrain on it?

OK, this may be totally useless but I''ll post the pics anyway...I have card making software I used but then had to print
it out and take a picture of it (then resize it) so....

Anyways, I did what I mentioned in the above post. I dont know if it will help give you an idea of what the square will look
like or not. If you want me to try something else I can...but I''m working with a very limited tool

.

 

[tyty333]

same picture just with different lighting...

 

[bgray]

wow thanks for doing that....it is helpful but i am not sure if it will look good or not with and emerald cut. my stone is set in a fairly plain knife edged platinum mounting with a little milgraining around the bezel set side stones.

 

[tyty333]

Thats a tough call...without being able to try something on that is somewhat similar it would be hard to say. There would be a big
gap between your ering and this ring. You would have to be comfortable with that. If you could find a milgrain channel set ring with
larger stones that might give you a good idea.

I wonder if there is a thread anywhere that shows what people have put with Emerald cuts to jazz up the look?

Look what I found...its squares with rounds in them at singlestone...seems like a lot of metal which will detract from the stones
(I''m not really sure if it has the bling factor you are looking for).

Something like this with milgrainm would have more bling

Something different that I dont know would work with an EC or not
