Spacers?

[tacoritoes]

What's the purpose? I asked my jeweler when we purchased our wedding bands and she wasn't too sure either. Is it essential a slimmer band?

Generally it's to avoid the girdles of the diamond on one ring, eating into the setting of the one it is worn next to.

yes, this. Depending on the setting- rings can run against each other and eat away at the prongs of your ERing or your setting.

In my case my wedding band is three sided pace so without the spacer it would just be tiny diamonds grinding against my platinum engraved Ering setting. The thought makes me cringe a little.

With my rings, my wedding ring is more like a pipe-cut band and the sharp edge was rubbing one of my ering trellis bits. I've circled the part of the ring (is happening on both sides) so you can see the erosion where it looks indented. My new spacer keeps the wedding ring ever so slighly apart from the ering.

The girdles of your diamonds can literally destroy your ring. It doesn't take too long either and one day you notice your ring has deep groves where the diamonds are rubbing. Not a good thing!

wow- goes to show even channel set bands can do serious damage to prongs and ERing settings...

i have a tacori 2628rdp engagement ring with a 462et eternity band, would you ladies suggest a spacer? i was thinking about adding some sort of rose gold stacking rings because i particularly liked the look but i suppose depending on the style of the stacker, it may result in the same outcome.

Really? this sounds surprising that a jewellery would not know about a spacer and how it would protect the 2 rings.
I would suggest a very thin .75mm - 1mm space between your rings. The "wave" curves of the WB are gorgeous, but with pave diamonds on the side of the eRing, that could be an issue.

you can get that little hint of RB you are intrigued by!

Tacoritoes - beautiful set!

Enerchi- I had a jeweler not understand about spacers either, and she said she was a goldsmith! She actually showed me one with prong-set diamonds! So not the point!

I find my plain little 1.5 mm band is quite discreet.

I wear a spacer so my halo doesn't overshadow my band too much. I also have a bezeled eternity stacker I like to mix in sometimes.

I have a spacer for a slightly different reason. My e-ring has a surprise amethyst on either side of the gallery and I was concerned about my eternity band, which is alternating round and kite set princess stones, scratching the amethyst. You can see the amethyst here, along with my set. BGD made my spacer at the same time he made my e-ring so they are the same height.
