3mm and Up

[soulsis]

Can I get a little thread started on all those who like a substantial band? I love the look of the 1.5mm and thinner rings...however, they do not love me! Who''s got some chunk on their hands?

 

[marriahlyn]

I have short chunky size 7 fingers and the thinner bands go over my knuckle and just spin. The pave ring pictured is 7mm wide and the band is 4mm. I also wear this with 2-2mm plain bands on either side and it''s still 11mm total. I can only wear the 7mm ring right now because I''m quite pregnant and my fingers are puffed up.

Are you kidding me? You have beautiful hands. Actually, your ring was the one that made me consider my selection...which I should have shortly (I hope

). My pinkie ring is a size 5!! I always think it''s got to be a typo when the ladies say size 3 and such. SIZE 3? Tiny hands. I have man hands. I joked on this forum about how much I love my feet, so maybe when the moment happens I will post "foot shots" instead!

Not sure if this is over 3mm, but here''s the ring I bought for my girlfriend, now fiancee:

Here''s my 1.5ct solitaire in a 3.5mm contour setting. The eternity band is I believe 2.3mm wide.

Wow! I love all of these rings...I have a finger under a size 4 and slender but short fingers. I''ve always wanted to wear something more substantial but there''s not a lot of space on my fingers!

LOVE chunk... 4mm e-ring with 3mm wedding band.

 

[Patty]

My wedding ring is 8mms wide. I wear it with one or two 2mm gold bands bringing the total to 10 or 12mms.

I have long fingers, though, so I have a lot of finger to cover.

 

[soulsis]

Yeah....I was kind of worried about getting a thicker band but then the jeweller told me that my old wedding set was 12mm. I was shocked. I have a huge space to clear too. That just means more!!!!

 

[10sne1]

I LOVE wide bands. I wear a size 7 and thin bands just seem lost on my finger. Here are two pics. The first is my original e-ring band which is 12 mm wide (now that''s wide, but I love it!).

This second ring set is what I currently wear. It is an eternity band matched with a semi-mount. The semi-mount tapers but is right at 12 mm at the widest point.

 

[soulsis]

VERY NICE!! Can you give me some specs on your diamonds?

 

[Ivy]

Here''s my Radiant Ering (.91 ct). The ring is about 3.5 mm at it''s widest point and my eternity band is 2 mm. The ering is from WF and the band from the Facets collection from SP (.53 ctw).

 

[Ivy]

UGH!!! Please excuse the wrinkled hands above.

Geez...do I need some hand lotion.

 

[fountainfairfax]

Ivy,

I love your set! I was wondering how that WF setting looked in person, from your photos it''s amazing (of course your center stone plays a large role in that!) and you did a great job of finding something to complement its beauty with your SP band. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Patty]

Ivy I also love your set. It''s beautiful and your hands look great!

10sne, I love yours too. The width is great...so much bling.

 

[Catmom]

Here''s mine. The ER is 3mm and the WR is 7mm for a total of 10mm. Even though I like wider bands I have trouble wearing these because my fingers are stumpy, not a lot of room between the knuckles. I usually wear my ER with an anniversary band which is 4mm at the widest stone.
