February2003bride! WF 3-stone trellis advice?

[tevyk]

Calling february2003bride!

I saw your gorgeous Whiteflash 3-stone trellis ring in here is the center diamond I selected -- I''m thinking .2ct sides)

Though I gather that you''ve gone back to a solitaire? Anyway, I was looking for your advice / some information.

I really love the WF 3-stone trellis setting, but am concerned about the band being too wide -- the WF site lists it at 4mm! Thought I believe I remember reading in one of your posts in a different thread that yours was more like 3mm or slightly under? How''d you convince them to do that?

I mentioned my concern to Jamie at WF (she''s the one I''ve been dealing with), who gave me the impression that it needed to be that wide. In your wedding band thread, I thought the 4mm band looked way too big for a base for the e-ring.


Oh also, what''s your ring finger size so I''ve got a reference point for your pictures? My girlfriend''s is a 5.5.

(I''m not stalking you, I *swear*

)


For additional reference, my setting thread has some pictures of the 3-stone trellis close to the sizes I''m looking at. Notice especially in the ''straight on'' view how the side diamonds aren''t any wider than the band

Tevyk- I apologize for not catching this! After seeing your post on Show Me The Ring, I decided to run a search on my screen name and this popped right up!

To answer your question (belatedly), the shank on my trellis was just under 3mm at the bottom and tapered to the top. The three stone is top heavy so the thicker bottom helped balance it. I saw that you went with 3mm, which would be perfect! It was a very comfortable setting to wear!

My finger size is a 6

Sadly, I don''t have my setting anymore (my center stone chipped so I took the sidestones out and turned them into earrings). My new e-ring diamond is a round which I have in a solitare setting right now. In the distant future I plan to add sidestones for another 3 stone. Love those 3 stone rings!!

Can''t wait to see your finished ring!!!
