Gypsy - the engraving gives a subtle glow that is hardly discernible. I still would have wanted the swirly engraving so next time I'm in NYC I'll ask Chris to redo it. I'm tickled pink that you love it as I remember your advice throughout.
Kristin - you witnessed my craziness. It's so much more rewarding due to the effort'!! Thanks for the sweet note!
I can't stop taking photos!! I must be mad.
The requisite flower shot.
Why do cars give the blingiest shots?? So distracting.
On a creamer with a vintage vibe..woops it's a little dusty. Lol

Your ring is just gorgeous! I apologies in advance if this question is against the rules but can I ask how much the setting cost? I understand the original SS one is quite expensive (4-6 grand?) and was wondering how yours compared.
Thanks

Hi folks,
Redroze here, well now redroze1.
Well I left and deactivated my account, then lurked, only to reregister and find someone else got my username! Lol. It was a good break but I came back for some advice! Those who followed my (controversial) search for a wedding band remember I got the metro Tiffany band. I adore it - here's two pictures. My question is, I'd love to add a third ring to stack with it. I'm considering this super thin rose gold ruby band from Etsy. Do you think it would work? Or should I do a milgrain bezelled round band? Or maybe a rose gold pave metro band? Choices are hard! My only requirement is that I want my ering to be the star.
Thanks you for the sweet comments that ce in after my hiatus.

Hi Redroze1 
Glad you are still enjoying your beautiful ring.
I think your set would look great with the bezeled band, but it's probably best to go to a jeweller and try different styles.
I had BE make a ring for my rubellite tourmaline and it was partly inspired by yours. Thank you for the inspiration

Oh yes a French cut rubt band would be tdf!
I think the way your e ring is designed, I'd want the second band to have more metal. In other words ,not prong set again like your wedding band. I like the bezel idea, the French cut idea, or even just a bright set band.
If it didn't need gems, the Tiffany twist band would be cool!
What a fun search. Good luck!

What do you think about this band? It kind of took my breath away!

Thanks ricezo!! Well after much deliberation and studying other ring stacks on PS, I've asked David Klass to make two bands for me. One is a thin rose gold pave band a tad thicker than my Metro. I know many suggested a bright cut pave band, but in person, two thin micro pave bands with my ring look amazing. They add subtle sparkle but still act as a complement to my engagenent ring.
The second band will be white gold like my set, but with alternating step cut rubies in a square shape, and diamonds in a diamond shape, with superfine milgrain, similar to msop04's gorgeous vintage sapphire band.
I made these two choices after coming to the following observations:
1) my ering shank is very detailed and curvy. A straight band makes a nice contrast with it, but the precise lines of a milgrain band take away from my ering more than a pave band which is all diamond with no milgrain borders. The pave band doesn't look great in photos but in person and videos, the combination is stunning.
2) two white gold pave bands are too much, but a wg and rg pave band has just enough contrast due to the different metals, without looking too different.
3) bezel set milgrain bands look good paired with my ering and pave band, as the pave band looks simple and delicate, acting as a nice in between to the bezel set band. Alternating rubies and diamonds add some colour, so keeping it in white gold makes them feel in the same family yet different enough that each one stands out.
4) bezel set eternity bands, and bright cut bands for that matter, have more presence on the finger due to the bright cut wall and milgrain. They look great with halos or big solitaires that can stand up to them. With my 1.5 carat solitaire, the only way it works is to have a thin pave band or spacer in between, to not diminish my center stone.
5) final thought. For stacks to work I think each ring should stand out and look different but complementary to the other rings. When an ering has a thin pave shank, I think a thin pave band only looks good with it if there's a slight gap, so it looks like two distinct rings. I had a curved band that sat perfectly under my ering, and all it did was make my ering look like it had a thicker shank. Mixing metals and styles is the way to go, or ensure there's a gap of the rings are similar. Reminds me of Mayk's ering with the platinum Imogen - too similar and no gap don't make for the optimal stack.
Rg pave band like this:
Band like the bottom except rubies instead of sapphires:
