Hey guys, with the recent price increses in engagement rings settings, I decided to hold off on purchasing an expensive setting with pave stones, etc as they all seem to have jumped 50%+ in the past few months. I still have the 1.408c J Si1 H&A diamond which i purchased from james allen, and I am thinking now I want to just do a simple 18k white gold solitaire setting which we can upgrade later on before the wedding and find a setting with a matching wedding band.
Anyways, my question is, for a size 6.5 ring with the above 1.4c round diamond (which is 7.1mm x 7.1mm), what is a good size thickness for the band? I was thinking a decent 4pt prong head. But I don't want something that looks like it is gonna snap and break any second, but I also don't want it so big that it overshadows the diamond. In addition, it is temporary to a certain extent, so I don't want to spend too much on it either.
Any ideas? Is 3mm too big? Does anyone have any bands they'd recommend?
Thanks!
