5 stone ring question

[diamondsR4eVR]

My engagement ring is a 1.02 RB solitaire. For a wedding band I’m looking at a 5 stone RB diamond ring. I’d like the band to compliment the ering and not overpower it.

What do you suggest? 20 or 30 pts each?

This is the look I’m after minus the very tiny diamond on either side.

Also, I’ve always dreamt of an Asscher or Emerald eternity band. Can I mix that with RB and look complimentary together?

So, you're looking at a RB 5-stone or also considering an asscher or emerald eternity band?

That is correct. Probably will go with the RB 5 stone.

I would probably go smaller like 15 pointers. I think 20 ptrs are going to make your solitaire look small. Of course, it all depends on what look
you are going for. What size is your finger? What does your ering look like? Make sure the stones in your wedding ring wont rub up against
the metal in your ering.

My ring size is 5.75. 15 points! That actually makes sense. I definitely don’t want wedding band to overpower my ering. I want them both to work together nicely. Should I also get a thin plat band to separate both band and ering?

Here’s a picture of my ering!

Opinions on K RB w/ STG Fluo

Hi All! I’m new to PS and I hope I can get your opinion on this stone. I wanted more bank for the buck and we were very excited with our stone purchase. However, after reading online regarding stones with strong fluorescence I am super nervous once it’s set on a simple thin platinum band. Will...

In order to not overpower your e-ring you should choose a diamond band with small stones , I ' d personally choose 3 pointers.
I' d use 20 pointers or even 30 pointers to create a beautiful stand alone band , but no way it would complement your solitaire ring.

 

[partgypsy]

I agree with purple silk.

Given that your center stone is about 6.6mm I think PS has a good point about proportions. I might say go for a 3mm eternity instead I think too much larger than 3mm will overwhelm your engagement ring.

Most of the long term PS folks know that I am a neurotic headcase and that I carry a 30x loupe and all that jazz. You will all be pleased to know that I only a few times a week after cleanings (OR after a whack), and I wear them almost every single day, obviously not to sleep, shower, cook, work...

I’m sorry if there is already a thread somewhere for this. I just really curious as to how they would look together. I’m in the process of making a solitaire for our 10th anniversary and I thought a 5-stone band would look good next to it as a wedding ring. I’m indecisive. Please help a girl...

My engagement ring is a 1.02 RB solitaire. For a wedding band I’m looking at a 5 stone RB diamond ring. I’d like the band to compliment the ering and not overpower it.

I tried many bands with my 1.22 solitaire and any diamond band wider than 2.5mm took away from it. You see, my solitaire is like a Mariah Carey and she needs the eternity diamonds to know their place as back-up singers LOL .

I too like 5 stone bands, but those 5 stones would have to be so small that they wouldn't go very wide across my finger which wasn't the finger coverage look I wanted.

So I went with an eternity of 1 pointers because my preference is for the solitaire to be the star and the diamond band to be more of a shimmer, adding twinkle to the solitaire but not shrinking it. It is the one in my avatar and 2mm wide. I wear a plain 2mm band in between (I wouldn't have to, that's just my preference).

On a milestone anniversary I do hope to get a 5 stone trellis, 1.25cttw (that is my favorite proportions for a 5 stone), but it will be a right hand ring. Just sharing my thoughts, as always, you do you

 

[diamondseeker2006]

The largest I would recommend for any size engagement ring diamond is about 10 points each in the band. Otherwise, it is going to take away from the engagement ring. A sparkly pave band is so beautiful and complements the engagement ring well. My band is Tiffany Legacy and the stones are probably 1 point each. I like the idea of 3 pointers for you. A large band like 20 points is going to rub your e-ring prongs and cause problems. As others have said, once you get up to 20 points and higher, those are better as standalone rings.

That thread has amazing eye candy and a good point of reference for me. Thank you for sharing!

I agree with you. This will not be my first marriage and I had a thin eternity band the first time around. Classic and beautiful. This marriage I want something different.

I love pave! I didn’t think of that as a choice. You think that could work?

Mariah Carey ering! I guess I also want my wedding band to be back up singers too. Unless I still get the 5 stone but don’t wear them together.

What about a scattered band?

So pretty! The band reminds me of Tiffany’s etoile line

 

[motownmama]

I have the Etoile - love that lookand other co's do nice ones too!

 

[distracts]

For a 1 ct band, no larger than 0.20. I would even consider 15-pointers, or 12-pointers, and do a half-eternity of those, however many stones that is. 30-pointers will absolutely overwhelm it.

This is a 6.7mm solitaire with an eternity ring of 13-pointers, for size reference:

This looks so nice! The band looks fluid and works really well with the ering. I don’t see much if any metal which is my favorite look. What type of band is that? Shared prong?

I like it too! I now want to try it on with my ering. I was also thinking of getting a Cartier love ring as a band. Not sure how I’d like it stacked together but thought of it.

HI:

I had a 10 point eternity ring with a 1.50 solitaire on a 51/2 sized finger. I thought the proportions were perfect. I wouldn't go much larger than 10 points--great paired or stand alone.

cheers--Sharon
