Ok, yes. A spacer. I''m so silly... I named the whole post wrong! Go me! I am most definitely talking about a spacer. Do you know how to change the name of the post?Date: 3/23/2007 3:20:39 PM

When you said ring-guard, I was thinking of the whole ''wrap'' style thing that people used to get as anniversary gifts in the 80''s.
Are you talking about a spacer band to keep a pave or eternity band from rubbing against another ring w/ stones?
I have an eternity band as a wedding band and I bought a very thin (I believe it''s 1.8 m) vintage band off of e-bay. It has very, very, very faint engraving that you can barely see, especially given it''s size.
I know that''s a no-no here, but it was v. cheap, the right size and serves the purpose in a lovely way~
I think you could do a search but the last I read there is no harm in wearing a platinum band next to WG or vice versa.Date: 3/23/2007 3:21:18 PM

Well if my E-ring is white gold, should the guard be WG, too, so it doesn''t mess up the e-ring? I didn''t mention the metal differences in the original post (*doh*)

I remember reading about this too. Are BOTH rings WG? If they are, it''s best to stay with a WG spacer too.Date: 3/23/2007 3:33:13 PM

Dtnyc,
I''ve read that when they rub against each other that the platinum can possibly wear away at the white gold. If it''s really a non-issue, that would be great! Now I''m just plain not sure...

The wedding ring will be platinum and the engagement ring is white gold.Date: 3/23/2007 3:58:28 PM

I actually like my plain band the best because it really "hides" better between the two rings. I do need to have a spacer otherwise my anniversary band eats at my ER. The spacer band has really helped with that issue. Honestly I was a little upset at first but I''ve since gotten so used to having three rings on that now it looks funny to me without the spacer. I think it may be hard to find a band that is only 1mm. I wonder if you could have that made or if it would be too small?Date: 3/25/2007 10:44:09 AM

Thanks Catmom! Do you like having the plain spacer bands? That''s what I would be getting. Dtnyc suggested maybe they aren''t really necessary, so I''m wondering if you find that they have kept your rings looking nice, and if they''re really worth it. I wonder if they come in only about 1 mm though, because both wedding band and e-ring will be 2.5 mm.

I have a spacer because my eternity wedding band is a tad too big. It''s a vintage piece & we couldn''t have it sized- I think it''s size 6, my e-ring is a 5.75. The eternity band sits low enough that the girdles of the stones wouldn''t hit the prongs or stones in my e-ring, but having the thin spacer band that is 5.75 makes everything feel more secure and comfy on my finger. It''s so thin you really don''t see that much of it, but it does make my e-ring and wedding band "pop" on their own more because they aren''t squished together. My e-ring & w-band don''t sit completely flush, and having the thin band between just helps everything line up a little better.Date: 3/25/2007 10:44:09 AM
