thanks
Coco, I feel that I should make a comment here. My husband gave me this exact ring for our anniversary over the holidays. It was a fabulous deal. But I did return it because it was simply too large to fit with an e-ring. You''d have to have a very high set e-ring for the diamonds in the band not to hit the e-ring prongs. In addition, the band was much thicker and sat higher off the finger than any e-ring, so they just didn''t look right together.

Hi! Saw your wife''s Tiffany Wedding band. (beautiful) i want it however am considering a knock off from Excel. I noticed you were going to have her wedding band made there but opted for the Tiffany band. I was wondering what made you go with the Tiffany...did u c the Excel band in person? I would be buying blind...thats why I wanted your opinion
So we found a local shop that came recommended by a few people in Boston, and went there to have my wife''s engagement ring re-sized a 1/4 size as it was spinning a bit... The shop we found to do the sizing actually did all sorts of custom work and they actually looked at my wife''s wedding band and showed us how they would have designed it slightly different to better pair it with the band etc. I was actually pretty impressed--although that was partially because I was talking to a "tech" rather than a sales person... I guess my advice would be to look at a few local places to see the different options in person. It wasn''t until we''d seen 4-5 different bands in person that my wife really knew which she wanted.
na.... everything is casted when ordered.... this is my problem..... my other option is to pay more and go with the facets collection and get the shared prong without the air galleryDate: 1/8/2009 2:08:25 PM

not that i am aware of....regardless I live in Mi and they are in NY.
Oh, I don''t know, sna!!! I really wear about a 5.25 on my left hand but my rings are 5.5 because I like them a little loose. But that ring felt like maybe a 5.75, so it was even looser than the others. It was too big to wear with my 1.6 ct. e-ring that is set pretty low. My right hand ring finger is a 6, and I could wear it on that finger now, in the winter. But I wasn''t sure whether I''d be able to in the summer. Plus, I really, really love eternity rings on the left hand since I relate them to being wedding or anniversary rings.
it was about 4300.00 for g vs 3 carat. I noticed that the pic of the Unique setting thee diamonds are not sitting in the basket as low as the Tiffany one. Is that something that can be changed? also I thnik the prongs are more curved towards the center as opposed to straight for the Tiff&Co. Check out Martin Flyer.com he has one with 2.40 carats and I recieved a quote for $6800 on that one in plat as well.
My wife says the ring runs a little big too... she''s a 3.5 and when they custom made it, it came out to about a 3.75... Too bad it was just a bit too small for the right hand... BTW, how long do you have at SP to return?Date: 1/8/2009 8:00:08 PM

Someone has already bought it, and I will admit that I was having second thoughts. I probably should have kept it considering it would be very rare to be able to get a like-new condition Tiffany ring for that price.It really is a gorgeous ring!
