Bands galore!

[mrs-b]

Good to hear from you, @mrs-b! It would have to be an anniversary or birthday band but I can definitely conceive of more bling - teehee!

The 3.2mm "medium" size Embrace (8 pointers?) is the perfect over the top yet complementary blingy companion!

Indeed! A perfect accompaniment. Love it.

 

[motownmama]

I love that embrace with your ER!

 

[KristyDarling]

Love the medium Embrace with your ring!!

i'm not sure how long the plating would last on my finger but my husband's WG wb looks terrible now!

I didn't try any of the channel set bands but I did see this:

My size but it's 3mm.

Ah sorry to hear about your husbands WG band. My husband also has a WG band and 4yrs in it still looks great, but we all react differently to wg.

I was more so thinking of this one for you. I think that it might look really lovely next to your ring and it can be found easily on the secondary market. (I might have already found one for you) I realize that channel set might not be the first choice of many, but T&Co’s channel set bands feel like butter on the hand. This particular one is delicate, it will provide a lovely contrast, some added sparkle and you wouldn’t have to worry about matching a band perfectly to your e-ring. Of course you might hate it, in which case feel free to ignore my suggestion.

If you go with an embrace style band, i’d personally recommend that you get a custom one with warmer melè to match your beautiful ACA.

Hi @SimoneDi, thanks for all the recommendations! Did you find a pre-loved channel set option?

Yup, but all diamonds.

The Tiffany knife edge band is one of the most affordable items at Tiffany. I would get it just to have that gorgeous Tiffany box. That was my daily set for a few years, until my fingers increased in size and the band stopped fitting. I find that wearing it with my solitaire made the center stone look bigger.
But I do feel that every gal needs an eternity band, so I vote for 2 bands
Btw, did the Tiffany SAs ask if your gorgeous ring is from Tiffany?

Hi @CareBear! Nah, she didn't ask if the soli was from Tiffany. A ~3 carat Tiffany soli would have a thicker band (and crazy price tag)!! I wouldn't turn one down tho.

I just returned the Tiffany knife edge band as the width discrepancy bothered me from the start. I think I'm going to have to go with the BN matching set. Now it's a question of whether to get the matching white gold or platinum version as the soli has a platinum head and a 14k wg shank.

 

[TweetyBird23]

Okay, so I'm going to check out the matching BN knife edge band. Should I get the 14k wg or platinum version for my 14k white gold shank/plat head solitaire?

My current e-ring is 14k wg (with new platinum head from WF) https://www.bluenile.com/build-your-own-ring/nouveau-knife-edge-engagement-ring_38921

matching wedding band comes in 14k wg or plat:

Considerations:
-If platinum or rhodium plated 14k wg will make the K stone look brighter and whiter
-How the e-ring and wedding band will wear together over time
-I don't want to replate 2 rings -_-
-Will plat and 14k wg look off?

@mrs-b @diamondseeker2006 @SimoneDi (Simone, I think you will vote for matching wg given your preference for exact matching metals) @yssie: I would appreciate your metal expertise! Thank you for your time!

 

[yssie]

Is the 14k WG portion rhodium plated?

 

[TweetyBird23]

Is the 14k WG portion rhodium plated?

Hi yssie
Yes, it’s rhodium plated.

 

[yssie]

I’d personally go with a 14k WG rhodium plated band, then

That way the bands will match and wear evenly!

 

[TweetyBird23]

I’m leaning towards getting the platinum knife edge so I don’t have to replate two rings in the future. Just not sure if the color difference between the two bands would drive me nuts.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I don't think you'll see enough of a color difference to be concerned about. You actually can rhodium plate platinum if it bothered you. If you plan on keeping the white gold e-ring, then I'd just get the wg band. But if you think you'deventually change to all platinum for the e-ring, in that case I'd definitely get platinum for the band.

 

[kimf79]

Gorgeous e-ring! I love the way the classic plain diamond band looks with it in the 4th pic down on your first post. I think that's the right size to accentuate your ring and match with it, without taking anything away. I do like the plain diamond band over the ones with sapphire and ruby.

I didn’t know you could rhodium plate platinum! I think I’d like to eventually change to platinum in the future so def something to consider

Thank you, Kim! Tiffany’s classic embrace bands are dreamy, indeed!

 

[SimoneDi]

Like @yssie indicated, the WG version will match and wear evenly. It is also a cheaper version which is another plus imo, you can put the difference toward another band, for example. Because you yet don’t know how frequently you might need to rhodium re-dip, wg might be totally fine for you, or you might need to replate once a year.

If you can, I’d personally order both versions of the band and pick the one you like better in person.

I’d like to announce the winner of the wedding band search:

The slightest glimmer of sapphire and diamonds. Dainty and unobtrusive, she is tiny but mighty!

Thank you, @Sparkles88!

Love!!!! More pics please!!
Is it a full eternity?

 

[tigertales]

That will be soooo pretty and refined on your hand all by itself, too! And, when you feel like stacking, it will play nice with the other bands!

Congrats!

 

[TweetyBird23]

Thank you! It's a half eternity which is more practical for my lifestyle.

Congrats!

Thanks, @tigertales. I love how it's so small that it almost invites a third band to the party! It would be nice to get the plain matching knife edge band in the future but I love the uber dainty pave with the solitaire.

Love!!!! More pics please!!

Happy to oblige, @motownmama! I can take profile pics later. The ring is set low.
