diamond bands

[bricklayer]

For our anniversary/christmas, my husband and I discussed getting a diamond band to wear in place of my plain one for nice occasions. But I don't know what would look good. He likes the very ornate engraved kinds like Tacori makes, but I don't know if that would look good with my e-ring unless I got it engraved to match.

I would think just about anything else would look good. I definitely don't want the band any wider than 3mm though, because I don't want too much different of a ratio.

Any suggestions? I don't really want to go custom if I can avoid it, but it is something I would consider if I really liked the design.

Have you looked in person and tried on some bands? I love the look of Tacori, but it took a trip to the mall to discover the style doesn't compliment my hands.

I just went to the mall stores to see if there was anything I liked, and it was all junky looking. The higher-end stores weren't open this weekend to do any real searching though.

I have been regularly killing time in the Forum E-Ring folder and this is one of the bands I really liked. I have no idea where locally I could even try something like this on, but I will be googling for a Saturn Jewels retailer. I would like to think this style maybe would be nice with my band, or there is I think a Tacori version maybe of it? I think I would keep my budget $2000 or less, but I'd spend more if I found a winner. I really like the items at Single Stone but I don't know if they are too antique for my "basic" style e-ring.

[bricklayer]

Sure. Here are some photos I posted yesterday.

I think a more classic style would look good, but it wouldn't hurt to try on different bands to see what you like. I think most eternity bands or 1/2 eternity bands would complement your e-ring really nicely!

I think a shared prong (with round stones) eternity or half-eternity band would look pretty.

Hey bricklayer, I think you should look into the Facets collection for a diamond band. AME has one (a Raphael) to go with her ering, so I'm sure it would be gorgeous with yours.

 

[lovemybling]

I agree yours is a more classic look. I don't know if I would do one with engraving.

You could do one like this (but all diamond)

Just some ideas

Since you have a solitaire, you can probably try two different styles since you don't like the whole ornate look: a band with a channel setting which would compliment the metal of your e-ring, or a pave-style band which would sit on level with your e-ring and add even more sparkle to your center stone! As mentioned above the best bet is to try different styles on until you find something that suits your liking

Thanks everyone! Did I just see someone say that Ame has a Facets band?

I might have to check out what's open this weekend around town. I don't know if I am ok with prong set or not, I don't want to be worrying about losing a diamond! I don't really need to rush this though, I have at least a month before I need to make plans. But even if I have to wait til after the holidays that is ok.

I hope she's not offended I am copying her style. I hope she finds it even a little flattering that someone stole her entire look!

I appreciate the input, and the links!

She says she's very flattered! No worries.

 

[bricklayer]

That is wonderful to hear! I appreciate knowing that she's not bothered. I don't want to be a bother! I will have to update when I pick a design.

I guess she must see this somehow or someone told her? Why does she not say something? Oh well, she might just be busy with things.

To Ame:

Thanks to everyone who spoke up! A lot to try on!

I adore Fay Cullen rings, but I can't recommend it because I never bought from it.

Since your e-ring is more modern, I wouldn't suggest a Tacori band. I would think something like this (all diamond) would be lovely: http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/home/ring-details/?product_id=5434..

Oh, or you could do one of Tiffany's celebration rings!! http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?fromGrid=1&sku=GRP00044&mcat=148204&cid=287462&search_params=s+5-p+1-c+287462-r+-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+

I love all of your suggestions. I don't think I can afford two of those Tiffany bands though! The middle one is nice, it looks blingy without being crazy. I could maybe even forgo the plain band for that most days! Great suggestion!

I know there are company's that make similar style's to Tiffany's without the price tag. How about one of these:

I like those but not like the Tiffany one. I might see about getting a vendor to duplicate that Bezet one you showed. Otherwise maybe we'll just splurge. The Tiffany IS in the budget.
