Can you help match a wedding band to this?

[chargeit]

This is modeled after the Etienne Perret halo. I dont want to take away from the sparkle. I have tried on a few bands but they look horrible.

Your expert suggestions are needed.
xo,
Michelle

Well, to help, we will first need many, many more pictures!

Seriously, though, more pics, including what the ring looks like from the side...how high it is, how it sits on your finger...will help determine what band would fit the best. If you cant get pics of your own, could you describe it better, or find other pictures that are similar? That would help. Also, are there any kinds of bands that you know you do or don''t want. For example, is a band with diamonds a must? Or would you prefer plain? What about width? I''m sure if you give us a little more info (and pics!

), we can definitetly help!

Here is a view of the ring from the side ( mine is all white gold though and has a tiny diamond on each side). I love diamonds but I am open to plain band if that looks best. I have a really small finger, size 4.

 

[fatafelice]

Have you tried one of the Perret Starlight bands? I like the platinum with white diamonds in a narow width, maybe 2.5 or 3 mm. You could have something very similar made in white gold if you prefer.

 

[fatafelice]

You could also flank use a narrow diamond band like this one from Ritani. IMO, your ring would look awesome flanked by one of these on each side!

Here are MINE''s rings, with a similar look:

 

[fatafelice]

OOOOH! I''ve never seen this band from Ritani before...I love it! Imagine what it would look like with diamonds inside the circles...Divine. And very easy to have made custom, I would think.

 

[Lorelei]

Fatafelice, you bad girl! Got me all drooling over those bands with the little coloured stone sprinkles in

Giving me ideas.......

 

[fatafelice]

Lots of companies make a version of this shared prong eternity band. You could go for a half or 3/4 band as well. By the way, what have you tried on that you didn''t like, and why? That might help to know in narrowing down.

 

[fatafelice]

This is the last one for now. It is from Quest and it has a similar sleek bezel look to the Perret stuff. It might be helpful to know how the side diamonds on your ring are set. Are they flush set (gypsy) or bead set? Do you want a band with similar qualities?

ETA: I do think that with such small fingers, you should focus on something really narrow. I saw a super narrow micro-pave band recently...I'll have to try to find it again!

 

[fatafelice]

This is only 1.2 mm! It is from Estatediamondjewelry.com They are calling it micro pave, but it looks more like a channel set to me...

 

[fatafelice]

Holy Crap! I know I said I was going to stop, but I haven''t spent much time looking at bands before....I adore this one below, also from estate diamond jewelry.

I think Fatafelice just found a band similar to one I've been trying to find for this thread (the last one she just posted). Your ring is beautiful and I think one of the major design elements of the ring is that thick round modern bezel. Awhile back (so far back I can't remember any keywords to look up the thread now) someone had an eternity band that was basically a chain of rb diamonds encircled in their own bezels, end to end. I think it looked gorgeous and would really complement your ring in a matchy-matchy way but still be very unique.

There were several in this group that I found from Fay Cullen (faycullen.com)...check them out.

The first one is not exactly what I was thinking because there's the space between bezel set rounds, but I do adore it and think it would also look great.

and the next

and the last (with or without milgrain, this would look good. for a more matchy look with your ering, probably without the milgrain)

Another member on here, Rfath, has a similar ring (hers is the Etienne Perret). She just got married and ended up getting a band from Signed Pieces. She hasnt posted pics anywhere yet that i could find, but maybe she will see this thread or you could always PM her and ask for a pic of her rings.

Her e-ring thread

 

[rfath]

Though the lovely chargeit managed to track me down to ask her question, I thought I''d post here so anyone else coming across this thread DYING to know what people have paired with an etienne-esque ring can see...

.. except I have no pictures!

Anyone in the Boston area with a camera with a decent macro mode/lens? Husband bought beautiful digital SLR, but no macro lenses for it.

I got a ~2mm wide eternity setting from Signed Pieces. It''s almost identical to the estatepieces and ritani settings shown here, but I had them do some work to round the edges as much as possible. It fits perfectly flush with my ring, with no rubbing or snagging between the two rings.

~Rachel, still trying to get the camera to work...

 

[njc]

Sorry Rfath... i wasnt trying to cause trouble!

I just knew you had the ring and thought maybe somewhere you had a picture or two. How about a shot without the macro, it would at least be something?

 

[rfath]

oh! No worries, njc! I'm so glad you pointed to my threads - I like to show people my ring! Please don't think I was irritated at you at ALL! I actually hadn't realized that the thread had been added to this year.. oops!

I'll see what I can do with the camera and some free time...
