I am trying to decide what I should do about my wedding band. Here''s my e-ring thread:
https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/no-longer-a-girlfriend.28664/=
I am kinda sentimental so I would really want to keep the wedding band I receive on my wedding day forever (i.e. i''d prefer not to upgrade or trade-up). I would also prefer to wear my w-band and e-ring on the same finger, so:
Dilemma #1 SHould I get a 1 sided band since one side of each ring will be covered anyway? BUt then I may occ be wearing only my w-band, and I feel like I may want more impact. THe one sided should save me some money. Three-sided is gorgeous of course, but is it a waste of money?
My first thought was to have Leon custom make a matching wedding band. It would be full eternity. Price quotes were $2500 for one sided, $2700 for 3 sided.
Advantages are 1) His workmanship is exquisite and I know I would have a quality band 2) It would match perfectly
Disadvantages are 1)$$$$$
Option 2 would be to go with pre-made bands. The closest I''ve found is this ring from www.antiqueengagementrings.com. It is 2mm wide and 1.4mm tall. Band contains 1/4 to 1/3 carats of G-H color and VS clarity diamonds. Price is great $625. 30day return policy. However, I have heard some not good things about their service, so I am nervous.
