Oh boy, I''ve been toying with the idea of upgrading my Signed Pieces wedding band for over a year now and still haven''t made up my mind.
What I currently have:
Size 4.5, 7 stone band of 7 pointers in PT and 18kt YG.
Why am I thinking of changing it? Well, right now, the stones span the exact width of my finger but sometimes, a slight twist, and you''ll see the band. It bothers me somewhat, not a whole lot but it still happens. It doesn''t twist enough to see the yellow gold band but darn it, I want to see the diamonds!
I don''t think I want an eternity ring for several reasons:
1. Can''t size it
2. Worry about banging the underside of the ring and damaging the diamonds
3. Don''t want to accumulate gunk on the diamonds on the underside of my hand
4. COST
Should I get:
1. G-H/VS, 11 stone band of 7 pointers in 18kt WG = $ 985
2. F-G/VVS, 11 stone band of 7 pointers in 18kt WG = $ 1,268
3. F-G/VVS, 11 stone band of 7 pointers in 18kt PT = $ 1,418
It appears that #1 is a better buy since I doubt anyone can see the difference between F-G/G-H and VVS/VS in such small melees. I''m also concerned about wearing a Platinum band with my e-ring which is WG (the scratching and wearing out factor), so should I stick with WG?
Will going with 11 stones versus 7 stones help me avoid seeing the plain band most of the time?
How comfortable is the band with the diamonds touching the sides of the other two fingers?
