Surprise diamond issues

[tlroza]

Hi,

I''ve been looking at wedding bands. I have a Scott Kay e-ring with a "surprise diamond" that sits very low. I don''t want to solder the rings together after we are married, as I''m pretty active and want to be able to just wear my band at times. any suggestions?

Are you trying to find a band low enough that you can see the surprise diamond?

I can see my suprise diamond (I have a Scott Kay) over my wedding band. I think it''s a matter of trying on a bunch until you find one that works.

Here''s a link to my set: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/whiteflash-adwar-bezel-band-has-arrived.100955/

I do find that the bezel band is a little too slim for my tastes to wear alone, so I''ll often pair it with a plain knife edge band when I don''t wear my solitaire. What styles are you thinking of?

I''m not so concerned about the surprise diamond showing as much as the band rubbing along side it.

Ah. I haven''t had any problems so far. As long as the metals are the same, and unless your surprise stone sticks out farther than normal, I think you''ll be okay. You might have a problem if you go for a band where the side of the diamonds is exposed (one of the reasons I went with the bezels).

I have a similar set. You can see about 1/2 of my surprise diamond above the band (my ring is set very low, so you can''t see the whole thing).. Since my band is bezel-set, I don''t have a problem with rubbing. The 2 rings also tend to separate on my finger with normal activity. However, I would certainly be concerned about a shared-prong band or other method of setting that allows the side of the diamond to stick out. Bezel is probably the safest for this.
