I am looking for a wedding band to wear with my antique solitaire.

I am looking for something in platinum, between 1.8 and 2.3mm in width, but only (here is the kicker) 1.1 to 1.3mm thick/tall. I would like it to have some sort of engraving or patterning, like milgrain. It does not need to be a true antique, but that is a bonus.

I am not looking for diamonds specifically, but some single cut embellishments would not be terrible. I prefer only platinum though. I love orange blossom style bands.

And it needs to be cheap :Up_to_something: Under $1000 for sure, ideally closer to $500.

Size 6.5 to 7, or able to resize to that range.

Help!!

Attached is an image showing the engraving on my solitaire.

Libby is very good at this - hopefully she'll come along! I'm just popping in for another chance to see your new ring in action.

I'm terrible at this... But couldn't sleep... Saw this one....

I actually really like this one with it because it has these marquise shapes on the sides of the e-ring.
 
Thank you both for those! I had not seen either. I like them both a lot for different reasons. The one you posted TGal is just too $$ for what it is, I did find another very similar for more like $450, and the one you posted May is a little too worn for my insane eye... I aslo dont' thnk I want so many diamond! But thanks a lot! Both helped me narrow my own thinking.

Lady, I posted it knowing about your superior negotiations skills. ;)) Clearly I do not think you'll be paying asking price for it, or anywhere near it. :cheeky:

So what is your narrowed thinking now thinking based on these?
 
haha... I have rarely had luck negotiating on the ones where there is no "make offer" button, at least not as much as I would want.

I think I want something with a sharper edge to match my own ring a little more, and wheat engraving if possible like on my engagement ring. I have found one I really like but it needs resizing which is complex. I am waiting to see if the seller can do it -- it would not be cost effective for me to buy it and resize myself because the only local person who can do it is really expensive.

If not a matchy look like that then I still want the square cross section to match, and if diamonds only a few.
 
Orange blossoms, 'tight' 7.25 size, lists width as 2mm and height as 1.5mm! It's in british pounds, so you'd have to convert, but they ship to Canada and list the shipping cost.

Oh, and this one is a 7 and looks pretty flat, pretty design, I think:

Not your size, but says it can be sized/engraved. I think this would match your ring shank well:

Hmmm. Maybe I should not have asked for help :lol: Now people have posted ones I am talking to vendors about! Oh well.

I love the one that Rubybeth and T-Gal posted! It's so so so pretty! It sounds like you're on your way to finding something wonderful.
