Super Ideal for Wedding Band worth it?

[KirstLWA]

Hi Everyone

Am looking at getting a new eternity band - well 3/4 band to leave room for sizing.

My question is, if going for 5 pointers - or anything under 10 pointers, is it worth paying for super ideal or would the standard melee be ok since they are that small.

Would love your thoughts!! And pictures, love pictures!

Thanks

I think SuperIdeal usually start at around 0.2ct (from BGD) or 0.25 / 0.3ct (from CBI/WF) so you don't really have to worry about that exact question lol

IIRC HPD can source 'lux melee' (which @cflutist used in her recent purchases, I think) and WF uses their PS-standard melee.

The missus' wedding ring is from WF and uses 1-pointers IIRC, and while it will never through off fire and sparkle like a bigger diamond, they do look bright and do give off some sparkle and fire in the right lights!

They are much better than the 'meh' melee (mehlee? ) I see in rings in shop windows round here, and they were very reasonably priced!

Thanks @OoohShiny Appreciate the response!

I thought I’d seen people say they had tiny aca melee in their bands

I’m going to have to find out now

And the mehlee wasn’t wasted on me! Well played!

Looks like melee cut quality is noticeable from searching through posts.
