My Etoile-esque wedding band!

[Maisie]

Its beautiful!!! I actually emailed WF a couple of weeks ago for a quote to have this exact ring made but I never heard back. They must be too busy for little old me

 

[Sundial]

Your new band is just sheer perfection with your beautiful solitaire Ebree!!!

Edited to add: Maisie you might try calling Whiteflash. That worked better for me than emailing them. That ring is worth pursuing!

Lol nah! I am too cheap to phone them all the way from England! I will try emailing again next week

Your rings look beautiful together!!

Wow, your rings look amazing, the band looks *gorgeous* with the e-ring. I tried to find pictures of your e-ring (i.e. profile shots and stuff) but on your original e-ring post you can''t see e-ring shots. Could you possibly post them again?

 

[monarch64]

It''s beautiful, I think it looks perfect with your e-ring! Congrats!

A million thank yous! When I''m finally able to wear it, I''ll try to grab some better pics.

Ebree, it looks fantastic! I remember when you mentioned that you were getting an ''etoile'' style ring made and personally, I think it looks even better with your e-ring than the Tiffanys version would. It''s dainty yet modern. Well done!

 

[Kats]

It''s lovely, it looks great with your ering! I love the Etoile rings and have an Etoile wedding band myself (which I can''t wear yet either!).

 

[Gothgrrl]

I love it.

 

[mela lu]

Beeeeeeeeeeeee-oooooooooooo-tiful!
I love them together and you seem thrilled! Congrats

 

[vespergirl]

I LOVE that band - I almost got that style myself! It''s such a modern, yet playful look!

 

[luckystar112]

LOVE the band as well!
What a neat idea to just buy a platinum band and have someone put the diamonds in.
I've been thinking of a simialiar ring for a wedding band, and found one on e-weddingbands.com for $419 (14kt WG) but I'm too nervous because I can't find anything on here regarding the quality of their stones.

Anyway, great job! Did you pick out the melee yourself or did you jeweler do it?
Edit: Oops, just read that your jeweler picked them out!

wolftress, Kats, Gothgrrl, mela lu, vespergirl and luckystar112,

Thank you all so much. Your opinions really do mean a lot to me!

Lovely ring!

Great to see a pic of it wiht your e-ring too. I am looking for something similar for my wedding ring. I''ve wanted a thin band with burnish set stones ever since I was a teenager and saw my friend''s grandma''s wedding ring. I thought the diamonds looked like little points of light or stars embedded in the ring and winking out.
I''ve been a little worried at how it will look with a plain band solitaire ering though and your pics have set my mind a little at rest.
As my e-ring band is only 2mm wide, I really only want a 2mm wide wedding band and I haven''t been able to find any out ther in premade rings to try on to see.

How ''high'' did your plain band have to be to get the stones burnished in?

I think I want really tiny diamonds in the 1mm diameter range. I wonder if this is possible...

 

[allycat0303]

Oh Ebree!!!!

Something about that first picture just grabbed me by the throat. I''ve been back twice to look at it! They look perfect together! Beautiful choice!

 

[graceelou]

Looks beautiful! May I be so nosy as to ask how much it cost? I have a 3mm plat band and would love to do this to it. THanks!

 

[E B]

Thank you so much Tumbelina, allycat and graceelou!

Tumbelina- I believe my jeweler said a band needs to be at least 1.5mm thick to have stones burnished in, lessening the risk of the band eventually 'pushing' the stones out. My wedding band is 1.7-1.8mm thick, which is still VERY low. My e-ring setting is also very low and the wedding band hits it perfectly.

As for setting 1 pointers, it's absolutely possible. See the small one in the first picture? It's half of a point. The bigger stones range from 1.3 to 1.5 points.

graceelou- I don't remember exactly how much it cost, but I believe the 'work' (including the melee) was around $300. With the cost of the platinum band, the approx. cost of the entire ring was around $700.

 

[fabcrab]

EBree, what an amazing looking set!!!!

 

[graceelou]

THanks Ebree. That''s a great price on a beautiful ring!

 

[kcoursolle]

They look great together, what a fun band!!

 

[poshpepper]

Wow, it looks perfect with your e-ring. And the plus is you can wear the band alone (on days when the e-ring is too much or not practical) and the band will hold its own with sparkle and size.

Great choice!!!!!

 

[IrishAngel7982]

EBree...that ring is PERFECT! They look so great together!

 

[E B]

fabcrab, graceelou, kcoursolle and IrishAngel,

You all are so sweet- thank you!

 

[blingergrrrl]

EBree, I completely adore your w-band...It's looks perfect with your ring! And I like your version better than Tiffany's.

 

[E B]

Thank you, blinger! Any news on your soon-to-be e-ring?

No...

I think I am going to be a lurker for a while longer yet...I still love looking at everyone else''s beautiful rings! My BF has now dropped our budget down on the ring (

) since he just bought a bigger house. Mind you, I can''t live in my ring so I guess the house is kinda more important.

So it''ll be awhile before we buy the ring but we do talk about it lots and he understands that my addiction to PS helps to tide me over! So keep posting pics, EBree!
