I think I want a spacer... not sure how I feel about rubbing and the gap

[violet02]

I ordered a wedding band that just arrived and when I put it on I wasn''t happy wtih the space. I know I ordered it non- flush but it doesn''t fit as well as I would prefer. Basicaly the middle of the side of the ring rubs on the band. That''s okay but there are 3 diamonds on the outside, very small. The center of the roung with the tiny diamond sticking out of it acts as a bit of a pivot point and causes the ring to go up and down on either side. I don''t want to rubb on the lovey work they did. I am propsing that they make me a new spacer. They are open to idea of it. I would love it if it could sit with a cut off under or near the bottom side of my ring very close too it. He offered to maybe do some millgrain work on it so it lookes matched. Who knows. He also said he''d have to make the band fit curved around the ring which may not disguise it much. There''s also a confort issue with the ands like that.

Here are some photos, do you think the spacer is a) necessary or ) will work nicely. I''m really leaning towards the spacer if sutble. I saw a cool post how it was done:

Here''s my inspiration post, from the diagram that has the red ilnes on it and from the picturre that shows a cool green wax cast of a 1 or 2mm ring.

The only problem with the spacer is that you have short fingers. Your ER and band are already taking almost the entire finger up to your first knuckle. I''m not sure that adding another 1mm to 2mm is going to help that situation?

I love both of your rings very much, but not together. Maybe someone else will have a creative solution

I don''t know that a spacer would be a good solution for you. You are already just about out of real estate on that finger. lol!

I think if you had a wedding band that is thinner and maybe beadset (similiar in width to the halo) it would compliment your gorgeous ering and maybe help with the space problem a bit.

The e-ring is huge on your finger and magnificent on it's own (despite the size, I very much love the delicate antique-like shank). The ring is also quite ornate, and adding anything else is going to clutter up the look -- especially a thick band with it's own ornate thing going on. If you curve that big w-band (I can't see detail - are those individual halos around each RB, or just big rounds in bezels?), you'll be adding width to the delicate shank of the e-ring and throw it off balance as well (the large center/halo POPS on that dainty shank and you would lose that appearance for sure)! Why not wear that band on the other hand alone or as a stacker with other bands? It's certainly substantial enough to stand on its own as well.

Ditto...Can you swap out that wband for a more delicate one that would work with your ering?

Well the only OTHER problem is that my stacking ring was made to stack perfectly on the wedding band. (https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/teaser-pic-of-my-stacking-ring-and-wedding-band.91323/)

I could just wear the e-ring on my right hand the stacking ring on my left hand. Then again they all may be too big anyways, they sure feel hefty when I'm wearing them. I think my biggest problem is that I wasn't able to try on both rings at once on my left hand when I got the band so I had no idea how big it would fit on there.

Even if I trade in my my wedding band for a thinnner one there will still be a gap and a rubbing issue. Can I get a spacer then or do I have to just deal with that? Also what about my stacking ring?

ETA: The ring is bezel set.

I love your rings, violet! It would be really easy to try on a spacer to see if that would remedy the rubbing issue. I'd see if you can test drive a super thin band to set in between before you do anything drastic.

My jeweler is in LA... I think he was saying he''d just make one. how do I try on one before i have to pay for one to be made?

I assume all your rings are from Single Stone, aren''t they? If so, what does Ari say about it? It''s an awful lot of ring for one finger, you know? Your ering stands on it''s own really. And it''s such a pretty design that to my eye, the new band distracts me from the ering. OTOH, if the ering fits your right hand, perhaps you can simply wear both bands on one hand, and the ering on the other, switching hands when you feel like it...Is that an option or is one of your hands larger than the other?

Yup they are all from SS. He said send both rings back in and he'd see what he may be able to do for me spacer-wise. I don't think they are used to doing spacers so this might be a new thing for them. He was the one that suggested the millgrain on the spacer to blend it. He felt that it might be a problem to NOT do a curved ring because of how low the profile is on the e-ring.

And yes I could wear the ring on the other hand. I was playing around with that idea. Stacking ring and band on left, e-ring on right. My FI feels that a more delicate band wouldn't look great on my larger fingers if I wore it alone on my left hand which I will probably do at times. I thought if I at least had an acceptable spacer that the times I want to wear them both on one hand for awhile it would appear better than having the pivoting gap. I am definitely concerned about the size though. I was hoping he could maybe do some sort of 'cut out' type of thing near the top to minimize on the space. The curved band would take up too much room.

ETA: Also there's no way I'd ever be able to wear all 3 rings together! Not that I ever wanted to...
