What size Shank should I get?

[countingdown]

Mark is asking me this question. Her ring size is 5.5 and she has small hands. I have talked to a couple of people and heard 2.5 mm or 3mm. I do not want something chunky since she is petite and the rock is a monster. The shank will be round with Pave all the way around.

i think 2.5 would be very nice.

hi CD! Which Mark are you talking about? I can tell you that I have a size 5 finger and my band is 3mm (maybe 3.2mm but haven't gotten the finished ring appraised yet) and I don't think it's chunky at all. I tried on different width bands and prefered the slightly wider size of 3mm, rather than the 2mm or 2.5mm. But I think a 2.5mm is good if you don't want too thin or too chunky. Here is a link to my ring so you can see the 3mm width on a size 5 hand. Hope this helps

BTW, just checked out your thread, KBERLY...that ring is gorgeous!!!
(sorry for the aside....don''t want to hijack the thread)

Yes, which setting are you looking at, Countingdown???? I always enjoy looking at his work!!

This will be a custom setting so I have no pics right now.

Id say no wider than 3mm. I wear a 5.5 and mine is just under 2mm.

 

[mrssalvo]

yes, thin pave bands, huge stone,

 

[KBerly]

but with a 3.71ct diamond, i don''t think i would want under a 3mm band to hold that thing up

 

[countingdown]

You all will be the first to see pics. I was thinking 2.5 just because she is very petite.
