How about a blingy channel set eternity band, or a bead set band with a milgrained edge? Both will protect your ering from the diamonds rubbing against it, and they're very versatile. For future anniversaries, you can gift unique rings to stack with the wedding set. "Beverley K" on Pearlman's site (http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/beverley-k-jewelry/rings/; bottom of this page) has a bunch these thin bands, and they are also popular with PSers. Here's an example:


Yes, we do like that one a lot (but maybe minus the milgrain, we prefer cleaner lines)! Thank you so much for suggesting it?

Do you know where we can see Beverly K bands in Manhattan?

I am also attaching a picture of another band I saw in a different thread that we like.

The last band that you posted is a beautiful band - so delicate - wonder how wide it is?

Just in case your looking for the link to the ring with the alternating baguettes, I have posted the URL below:
http://www.soniabdesigns.com/viewItem.asp?idProduct=1808

It's very delicate and probably not well-suited for every-day wear. When I bought mine over a year ago, it was almost $200 cheaper, and at that price, I wasn't too concerned about wear and tear. If the list price then was what it is now, I probably would not have purchased it.

If you like the Beverly K band, ID Jewelry has a similar one at a competitive price.

http://idjewelryonline.com/product_info.php?products_id=508&cType=

They can make it anyway you like - full, 3/4, half eternity, or +/- milgrain. If you call ID, tell them you're a pricescope member. :)

Thanks for all of the above information, PintoBean. We like the SoniaB design one but would want the wedding band to be full eternity.

Perhaps, we can have Leon Mege or another jeweler make something like that and improve on the durability.

They key is for the wedding band to be clean so it matches the ER.

I'm also attaching another recent photo :naughty:

Thank you EHR2009, rhbgirl24, lilythesplitfire, hearts-arrows_girl, cushioncutnut, tacoriE-ring for the kind words!!!!!

Diamondseeker2006, my gratitude to you as well for the suggestions and the JBEG link. Those are very beautiful!

To answer some questions:

1. The shank is 2mm

2. Specs:
Table: 57
Depth: 60.6
Crown: 34.5
Pavilion: 41
Star: 60%

I shall add that I had a lot of trouble finding a diamond between 2.60-2.99 cts with superior cut.

Re: At Last!!! My Fiance's 2.70ct Leon Mege Solitaire Ring!!

Hello again everyone!! :wavey:

This weekend my fiance and I went again to look at some wedding bands.

The first, is the cartier that I have mentioned in the past. I am attaching an actual photo of it together with the e-ring. We think this is a strong contendor, goes very fluidly with the ring, but may be just a tad too "matchy." What do you think?

The second, unfortunetely, we weren't able to photograph in store, is a HW alernating round brilliant/emerald cut eternity band. This one is more unique but we will have to come back to look at it again. I personally love it, but she is unsure.The price point at HW for this ring is very high, so if we decide on this one, I'd probably have someone make something very similar. Do you think it's doable?

Lastly, one flower shot of the ring : )

The classic HW, made elsewhere. A leon version or something even.

Thank you, DancingFire!!

I have been doing research on re-creating the HW bar set, and it's proving a bit difficult as it doesn't seem to be a common style.

The version that BGD sent me as an example of what they can make, looked much bulkier and I'm afraid it wouldn't look the right way.

Perhaps, I should contact Leon or Steven.

I really like that Cartier band - it does look much different on the hand than it did in the picture. It is a clean band - the only troubling thing with multiple shapes or whatever is too many prongs - I like the sleekness of the Cartier with the ering.

I think that I like the HW too, but seriously with a ring like that, duct tape would look stunning! :razz: It's a seriously amazing ring!

Christina, LOL at your comment and thank you very much!

Stci, thank you for the compliment!

MissGotRocks, my fiance decided against the Cartier band this weekend, because it appears too matchy to us. As if, It goes way too perfectly with the ring.

As far as the HW alternating bar set, we still need to go see it.

However, my fiance is now leaning towards a simple channel set 2.5mm band with round diamonds. After much effort of trying to find something "different" and "interesting" she is now saying that after the initial couple of months pass, comfort takes #1 priority, and all the bands with exposed diamonds poke into her fingers and aren't comfortable.

Below is a picture of the channel set from Tiffany. I am also eyeing the one from BGD, but am concerned that there are no holes underneath the ring, which will make cleaning the diamonds an absolute horror. I am suprised, BGD didn't account for this? Does anyone have that ring here?

Re: At Last!!! My Fiance's 2.70ct Leon Mege Solitaire Ring!!

ok first WOW your fiancee's engagement ring is STUNNING!!! :love: :love:

I love the idea of that channel set band as it is more comfortable and the diamonds in the band wont wear down the prongs of the engagement ring as exposed diamonds will. That being said yes it is harder to clean channel set bands and mine is no where near as sparkly as my moms prong set eternity band. Maybe to avoid the cleaning issue a good sonic jewelry cleaner will be able to keep it sparkly like no toothbrush and soapy water can =)

just my two cents......again WOW that diamond is mesmerizing!!
