2mm Plain Band Matching Height - Lots of Pics

[erislynn]

I know a plain band is not an exciting SMTB but thought I'd include pictures for those trying get a certain height/thickness. You'd think once you decide on the width, it'd be easy but I think it's like picking gray wall paint. Here is my new BGD comfort fit band, 2mm in plat. They were top-notch with responsiveness, quality, and price!






The plain band is actually 2.25mm in height, while the eternity is 2.0mm high, but the dome-iness balances it out.


With the BGD tapered Tiffany setting.


All three.


For those wondering if it's too thin on its own.


How it looks when height is different. On the left, 2.25mm height. On the right, 1.75mm height.


On the left, 2.0mm height. On the right, 1.75mm height. Much more noticeable if one of the bands has a flat surface.

While it's pretty easy to find a band ~1.5mm high, this was the only non-custom band I could find that was this high-domed. If you're looking for something in between, Benchmark's comfort fit is 1.6mm, e-weddingbands' heavy comfort fit is 1.85mm.

The rings look great - attention to the smallest detail really pays off! I love this with your solitaire - did you decide to keep it after all? Looks so great with the eternity and plain band!

I love this & you're right - height & width are SO important! I had my wedding band made to match my original engagement ring, which was then damaged. The new solitaire band was flat & thin & I could never work out why I didn't love it? My full eternity was high & spiky, so all in all it was mismatched & upset me. Fast forward a few years, my precious wedding band hasn't left my finger, the solitaire is in its 3rd home to match the proportions of the wedding band exactly, and the eternity has been remade completely into a channel setting, again matching in height & width

Beautiful match! And I echo Alex T. Height and width is critical for the rings to look perfect together (IMO). My favorite bands are the ones that match my ER in height and width. Perfect match and beautiful combo. Enjoy!

Thank you, everyone, for your compliments and likes!

MGR - I'm a fan of your collection as well. Don't you love it when each facet or each mm is on point? Your new ACA is perfection! Sadly, my ACA is already at GOG. These were actually farewell photos.

Alex T - I took a look at your reset journey and sorry you had to go through that, but the final look is so well-balanced. You made great choices!

Missy - The lady with the young hands. Thanks for chiming in! When I clicked your SMTB as it got posted, I remember going "L is for ...???.What is that?! That facet pattern is so romantic!" Love the story behind the name too.

I am so sorry that your ACA is gone and hope that there will be another one in your future. The precision cut of these stones is really amazing! Your two bands look amazing together!

your diamond size looks perfect.... do you mind telling me the carat weight/the measurement of the diamond please? thanks!

 

[erislynn]

BBD - Thanks! The diamond in the pic is a 1.59 ct, 7.53mm diameter on a 5.5 finger.

It's very nice erislynn...its sort of like you have to have the plain matching band to your ering. Always fun to use it to mix and match with or just
go use to go solo when you need to be more conservative. Nice ring!

Was the 1.75 mm height band your previous wedding band?

I love all the pictures! I think you made a great match! Beautiful set!!

The 1.75 mm height band is actually one of my engagement rings turned around. The underside happened to be 1.75 high and was great for illustration purposes.
