Hello Everyone,
I''m new and I''m having a hard time deciding on the metal for my band. I know the style I want (Hammered middle, millgraining, then a small shiny lip on the ends) 7mm wide, and a good thickness of the band (comfit would be nice).
I found various online sites and local stores that have the similar style (fairly popular), but none seem to have the metals I''ve currently been looking and was hoping to get some opinions from experts on this. ArtCarved has a Pt and Pd version of this ring too, but after looking at it in the store, just seems little smaller then I was hoping..
I was hoping to get feedback on the follow (or other ideas you might have):
1. Plat / Ruth
2. Palladium / Ruth (is this possible?)
3. 18k Gold with Palladium
4. Plat / S1 or S2 (which seems really hard to find)
I wanted to get something that help resist dents / knicks much as possible while not having to deal with the re-plating of most white gold faces.
Thanks!
And I know similar topics have been posted in the past, I''ve read them all a few times this past week in trying to decide on what to do! Arggh I''m missing a lot of sleep over this!
