Scattered Diamond band or Channel

[butterflyblue]

I am loving the look of the "scattered" diamond bands. I don''t know if they have any sparkle to them I have never seen one in person.
What about a channel set approx .50 carat they have some sparkle?

Any diamond can sparkle, IF it''s cut well, that is key.

I have the scattered diamond band from WF, and yes, the diamonds sparkle. However, they are tiny, and random, so the look is very understated. If you''re wanting some real bling/flash, I would not recommend this one.

Whatever you decide on, the most important factor is going with someone who provides well cut stones in their settings.

Thank you so much! That is exactly what I am looking for understated. I have look at the whiteflash one, I like it a lot.
Do you have pictures of your band posted on here someplace, just want to see what it looks like on a finger..

Thanks again!

Yay! I have some pics, mostly with my Ering. I actually wear this as a RHR, but I''m right handed, so no shots of it on the finger it actually fits. If you really need one after looking, I could ask hubby if he would take one. He "might".

They are all on the first page.

WOW! That is beautiful it makes me want it more! Your engagement ring is also gorgeous! Thank you so much for the link to your pictures!!

I''d go for a scattered band if you want a more understated, not ''overdressed'' look. If you want the look of more ''bling'' then go for a channel setting. Personally, I love scattered bands

I love the look of scattered bands also...Ellen''s is really beautiful!

Scattered, but its personal. I like the "understated look" but then I love Blingy too.. Oh I just want at least one of each...lol

But one that comes to my mind, is MissGotRocks Tiffany Bezet. it''s a little thinner at 2.6mm but I just

swoon over this one too.

Oh, thanks D&T! - I came to reply and found my ring here! I hope you get one for your birthday - I am so loving this band!

To the OP, if I had a solitaire setting I would certainly considered a more blingy band. It is such an elegant, classic look IMHO. However, whenever I tried them on (and I've tried on hundreds) with my three stone, it just looked like too much. My ering would lose its 'definition' for lack of a better word as it just all blended together for a look that wasn't pleasing to my eye. The colors of the stones all looked different somehow and I knew that would drive me crazy! I had the Tiffany etoile for several years and while I loved the look, it always seemed too wide to me. No one was more excited than I when Tiffany introduced their Bezet! It was thinner (2.6 vs. 3.9 for the etoile) and yet offered that polished metal with diamond accents that I loved. I must also confess that I'm a symmetry girl so having those diamonds in a straight line was right up my alley too - funny how weird we can get over all of this!

My advice to you is to try on as many as you can - they all have a different look to them when paired with your ering. We're all different and all love different things. It's just a matter of finding that particular look that sings to you. Sounds like the scattered diamond band is what you really like and the good news is that you can have them made in different widths as well with some great PS vendors.

Good luck - who knew that finding a wedding band could be such a daunting job?

I know exactly what you mean. I originally wanted a channel set wedding band to go with my princess solitaire ering but when I tried some on my solitaire no longer stood out - there was too much compettion for attention. I went with a plain band which is great because my SO gets to buy me an Anniversary band later down the line

You gotta love a girl that has good taste AND is smart!

I''ve tried on alot of channel set bands and I''ve found that I see too much METAL when wearing them.

I much prefer the scattered diamond look. I''d suggest you try on a ton of rings and decide what looks best on your hand.

HTH

Ellen: I love both your rings. To answer your question though butterflyblue I happen to like both scattered and channel set rings. I do agree though that the scattered band is more understated.
