Huh ... hum. I kinda like it and I kinda don''t. Tough one.

It looks sort of clunky and thick in the picture but I wonder if that''s just photography playing tricks. Do they have any hand pix of it yet? Would you be able to play with one in person first before deciding?

I remember you didn''t end up liking the thickness of the band on your previous e-ring ... especially in conjunction with a new wedding band. 2.6mm + 2mm band? 2.5 mm band?

I would want to try it AND your future wedding band on your own hand before committing ... since this is the 2nd time around.

Deco,

I completely agree- it does look clunky...but they said it's only 2.5mm wide (or 2.6mm as it says online). I emailed WF to see if they had hand pics, but because it's so new, they don't have any yet. Have they modeled rings on their own fingers before? I'd hate to ask if it isn't done.

It has all the qualities I'm looking for, the one lacking being that it's more than 2mm wide. Though, I tried on a Jeff Cooper that was 2.5mm and with a ~2mm wedding band, looked about right.
 
It would be nice to see an actual pic on a finger, cuz from the picture, me no likey. Like Deco said, looks clunky. But at 2.5 mm, it could hardly be so!! A real life picture might do wonders.
 
~~I like the side view, but to me the band looks a little thick (but 2.5 mm seems kind of small, so I''d have to see a hand pic)... I hope they can get some!!

Thanks for the opinions! I think hand shots are a must, too...so I emailed WF. I''ll let you know what they say. It''s strange how the Flush Fit looks so much thicker than the Fine Line by Le, but the Fine Line measures 3mm! What''s up with that?
 
When we looked at B&M stores there were several very similar settings at Fey & company and Christian Bernard. If you visit some B&Ms you can see similar things and try them on.

That is what we did before ordering from WF. ;)

There is nothing like trying a ring on to see how you will like it. Especially something like this that will be worn every day.

I started out liking one thing, but after trying many on (too many lol) it wasn''t what I wanted. I chose something completely different than I thought I wanted when we started (I went from a solitare that was high to a low setting with sidestones).

WF does great custom work if there are things you want changed after trying similar things on. And there''s just something nice about having a one of a kind too. ;)

Happy hunting.
 
I am kind of over the whole surprise diamond thing (no offense to anyone). I just really like to see as much of the profile of the diamond as possible. I also think it looks bulky.
 
I bet WF would be happy to provide a hand pic for you Ebree.
 
In theory I like it, but would want to see more pics. I also wonder what size diamond is shown? It looks smaller than what i usually see in stock photos.
 
It is just not as graceful as something like a Ritani with a basket setting. I''ve looked at so many...I really like the Fine line so much better than this one.
 
I like it. I don''t think it would look clunky in real life, although I can see how it kind of does in the photos. I would prefer it closer to 2mm, though, that''s just me. And actually, I''m assuming the surprise diamonds would be little ACAs which would be quite fun... no dead little diamond chips there!
 
I too kind of like it. But have reservations. It looks like the L shaped openings are a little small or a little oddly shaped.

Again it could just be the photo. Hand shots are a must. Also do ask them what size diamond is in there and compare it to your own.
