Maybe something with scrollwork/engraving or small diamonds. I just need something to wear under my e-ring until the wedding as it's spinning all around my finger currently and I need to move it up closer to my knuckle to stop that from happening because it's driving me crazy. Ideally I'll rotate it in to my stack in the future or wear it on my right hand, so I don't want it to be a complete waste of money or something super cheap (but I don't want to use my official wedding bands either).

Any suggestions on Etsy stores or other vendors? TIA!
 
David Klass has a new Etsy store, he stocks various bands (of which I am coveting several!).
 
@ILikeShiny I might have just what you want. I will tag you in a different thread.

Edit - it may not work, what was your ring size?

It's tricky. My knuckle is 6.5 but base of my finger is around 5.25. I typically buy ~6.5 to make it easy on my knuckles.

Ah ok.. I remembered from somewhere 5.25, but not the knuckle size :) ok another suggestion is to check out e-wedding bands. They have great quality affordable bands. A 1mm-1.5mm rose gold spacer may work great for you.
 
I have similar sized fingers/knuckles and have had a horrible time finding a way to stop the spinning and still be comfortable. I do stack a lot and that will solve the problem but it takes 2 or 3 stackers to completely alleviate the spinning. Some days I don't want to wear that many so I got these from amazon. Best thing ever and comfortable. Hardly noticeable and NO SPINNING! I ordered several different things from amazon and this was by far the best!

Interesting! My wedding stack will be two bands for the very reason you mentioned (well, and because I liked the look of it :lol:) but this might work in the meantime.

What size did you order?
 
The package contains several different sizes. They are long slinky type plastic tubes. You cut a small section and wrap it around the shank. I used the smallest one for my ring. This is by far the best I have tried for non spinning, and truly that includes stacking and sizing beads. My knuckle size is a 6.5 and my ring size is probably 5.75.

ETA I was so excited when I put it on, LOL! Amazing that a $4 gadget made my ring so much more comfortable!!!

Ordered! Thanks!

Now I might STILL browse DK's Etsy store..... :whistle::dance::doh:
 
@ILikeShiny, any time I see a thread by you I'm always secretly hoping this will be the time you are ready to share up close and personal shots of your gorgeous e-ring! :pray:
 
I was going to recommend the plastic things as well or sizing beads.

Very sweet note. I’ll probably share a few of everything together after our wedding (less than four months away), so hang tight! ;)2

Believe it not there are already sizing beads in it! When it was made (size 6.5) I asked her to add sizing beads to drop it to a 6; the independent grading report came back as it being a size 5.5 and yet it STILL spins on my finger! Hopefully these plastic things will do the trick. Otherwise some lucky vendor will be getting my money :mrgreen2:
 
Ugh. @Snowdrop13 and @tyty333, I totally blame you. I browsed DK's Etsy shop for bands and currently have this in my cart :rolleyes:

Rose gold and flowers... could it be more perfect for me?? But WHY do I always have to gravitate towards the most expensive options??!!!

I love this one too! I have thought about contacting him to see if he can make it thinner, 2.5 or 3mm. Love it!

4mm is perfect for me because that's the size of the two stacked bands I'll be wearing, so I know it puts my e-ring up to the height it needs to be to not spin.

And it's no longer in my cart.

Ordered :doh:

That ring will be perfect in rose gold! I can't wait to see it!

Oops, sorry! But my goodness, that is the exact band that I am lusting after! Cannot wait to see what it’s like, so excited- for you AND me :appl:
 
Holy cow - my band has already shipped! The listing says it’s made to order, so that was a three day turnaround from start to finish :shock:

I’ll post photos once it arrives!
