Thank you so much for the sweet compliment, lauren!

We had the ring made at Diamond District in Naples, FL. I cannot speak highly enough for them. We got such a great deal on the diamond. Unfortunately, we didn''t have much left over in our budget for the setting. The original setting I wanted was by Gottlieb & Sons. The one we ended up with was not a designer setting, just something the jeweler had in stock. It is 14k white gold with .21k in pave diamonds (4 on each side). There is milgrain on the edge (something that was a MUST for me) and I added the double prongs. I told him I wanted very thin prongs and they turned out perfect! Overall, it isn''t exactly what I envisioned originally, but I''m very happy with it. I''m glad you liked!

Im married and I have a ring, but it was always meant to be temporary until we could afford what I really wanted. Anyways, I love your setting and I want something similar to that. Do you know how thick is the band is?

It''s 2mm wide - substantial enough but also dainty, which I like.

Good luck finding a setting!

I want a 2mm...I love dainty! Can''t wait to see it with the wedding band!
