Michael B petite...

[bigE]

Would I Michael B petite micropave band be "too small" (too thin) for a size 7 finger? I wanted to put a size 1.5 ct to 1.75 carat stone on it.

How many mm is it?

 

[bigE]

The band for the "petite band" is 2.0 mm and the "classic band" is 2.2 mm

If you scroll down the 6th page of my solitaire thread, you will see some pictures I posted today of settings 2.5-3.0mm wide. I think the 2.5 looks very very thin. I believe the person''s finger is a 6. Width of setting preferences are personal, but I wear a 5.5 size ring and a 2.0mm ring would be way too thin for me. The stone in those 4 pictures is mine, and it is 1.63, for your reference.

Forgot to tell you, my stone is an H, just so you know.

What area of the state are you in?

Hello,

I am pretty sure that the Michael B petite princess setting can only accomodate up to 1.5 ct center stone- anything over that, and you have to purchase the regular princess...

i''d go for the regular.

I highly recommend Grimball Jewelers near Whole Foods in CH. They are extremely helpful and carry a wide range of products, and can order you whatever they don''t have. They are not a discount jeweler, but I''ve found it worth paying a little more for the excellent service and extras.

Yes, petite is 2.0mm, but princess is 2.35mm. Classic is 2.5mm. There's actually three types...

 

[bigE]

Goldenrain, can you mount b/t a 1.6-1.8 stone on the petite princess or not?

 

[Goldenrain]

Well, the recommended ct weight is 0.5 to 1.5 for the petite princess... You might be able to do something a bit above that, but 1.7+ might be stretching it...

Your correct the Michael B petite princess should be no larger than a 1 1/2ct size or 7.5mm. The petite 3 sided will take up to a 2.0ct size. For the finger and diamond size I would suggest the regular princess.

I have a size 7.5, and the shank on my ring is around 2.5mm at it''s thickest point, tapering to around 1.7 at the diamond.

I don''t think it looks strangely thin - but, my fingers are pretty short.

Also, I think it makes the diamond look bigger!

I wanted something that is very comfortable when I add the wedding band, that doesn''t take up my entire finger. I think a total of around 5mm will be perfect for me, even though I have a larger sized finger.

I have no diamonds on my E-ring shank, but may get some channel set diamonds on a really thin wedding band. Haven''t decided yet...

BigE,

I have the Michael B. Petite Pave band and my diamond is in your size-frame. They can set it with any size diamond and the dainty setting does make your diamond look bigger. My finger size is 4.25 though.
