I love the look of engraved bands and want one for myself. I also like the look of orange blossoms or other petite flowers. I so want a ring like arujunajane''s artcarved band or this one from Tiff''s

I guess I am all over the place as to what antique style I want but am easily pleased

I also need it to be relatively inexpensive. Say no more than $350. Any suggestions

what size, and do you have an objection to ebay?
 
This lady on E-bay has a few different patterns. They come in any size. They are solid, well made pieces! I had one from her a while back. Although her prices have increased..for the quality of the ring..VERY inexpensive!

I would be open to eBay as long as there is a return policy...
Beau, I really like the bands you posted! I will have to check out the eBay store.

there were some wonderful bands at www.circa1930s.com/c30shop/wband6/wband6.htm but they seem to only make them in smaller sizes

YES...circa1930''s has some nice bands. Great prices too! I thought about ordering from them.
 
Hi akmiss,

I''m happy my band could inspire you! I also like those options that Beau posted, but I really like those circa 1930''s ones, v. good prices too! Infact, I may contact them to see if they could make one in YG for my own w-band.
I would definately email them and ask if they can do your size - I don''t see why not

Are you after White metals only? I will have a look arounf ebay for you..
I really like this one from c1930''s.

akmiss, here is a nice one (imho) and size 7.5 - I''m sure you could just have a sizing bead put in..?

Its cheap aswell (at the moment, lol).. This is from the same ppl that I got mine from.

And here's a company with antique repros that appears to be in Britain? But they have a return policy, and no extra charge for sz 8

example:

And here's one with a wider look - this is an Aussie seller that I like, so this band will only be about $150USD.

(lol. I hope it was WG you were after).
Let me know if you'd like me to keep looking ok.

I may just call circa1930s tomorrow and see if one of the rings could be made larger. And yes, I am after white gold. Thanks again ladies

Duh! Sorry, I was typing while at work - I meant I''m sure you could just have a small plain space where you have it sized up? I don''t see why it wouldn''t work..

Do you think you''ll bid? I had this one in my faves, but if you''re keen I will not bid

Thanks for drawing my attention to c1930''s, they really do have some lovely bands - reminds me a bit of VC, which is always good

Just an update, the rings from circa1930s.com CANNOT be made larger

I really had my heart set on this band but it didn''t turn out and I got my email reply earlier today.
www.circa1930s.com/c30shop/wband6/lwb172-flwswl/lwb172-flwswl.htm

I am going to bid on one of the eBay finds listed in this thread but I am not saying which one. Lurkers, they are everywhere

Good luck! There are some beauties here. Will you post after you win?
 
There a quite a few antique/vintage style bands on E-bay right now. I''m sure you''ll find one that you love!!

I hope you win the ebay one you want at a great price - do you need any more suggestions or have you made up your mind?

That''s my favourite band from circa1930''s! I have it saved for future reference. I''m waiting to see my newly set halo ring, to see if this band will "match" the ring. It''s gonna be a looooooooong 3 week wait!

Thank you for posting this question, cause now I have some great ideas for my own future ring!! I can''t wait to see what you get! All are beautiful!

I''m curious Beau - you''ve said repeatedly in this thread and others how vintage style isn''t your taste - did you have a change of heart?
This band looks very vintage inspired to me
