My new wedding band

[silverbuggy]

Wow js_diamond, the combination is gorgeous!!
Just curious, do you know the width of the e-ring? It looks so dainty! The w-band compliments it well.

OMG, I love it!

Both rings are completely gorgeous!

 

[shelleydog]

That is gorgeous! What are the specs on your ering - center stone and side diamonds. It''s beautiful.

Stunning! I love your band.

That is a beautiful ring. Do try not to wear it, it will make your wedding day all the more special.

May I ask, did you consider also getting a plain WG/Plat band? If I had a do-over I would get 2 for the wedding day, to have both blessed and to actually have a legitimate wedding band I could wear in the garden and doing housework etc. I know this may shock some, but sometimes you just wanna wear a plain band, and it is nice if that band is a true wb.

Thanks everyone for the lovely compliments! I eventually do want a five stone, maybe for our 5 yr anniversary. I read a thread here that someone did that and I think that's a nice idea. And thanks Ellen for resizing the pic!! What's the easiest way to do so if you don't mind me asking?

You're welcome!

Well, I can tell you how I did it, but depending on what you've got computer/program wise, I can't promise you will be able to do the same, but hopefully you can. I saved your pic, and then opened it up in Paint. Up at the top of the page are options, pick Images. A drop down menu will appear, pick Resize/Skew. A box should pop up that has options for both, use the Resize. Put in the % you want, and click OK. The pic will then change to the new size. For your pic I think I put it at around 38% for both horizontal and vertical. I always use the same % for both so it doesn't get out of whack. But just experiment with the sizes till you find what you want. If you don't like the size, click Edit at the top, and then Undo, the pic will revert back to what it was.

Hope this helps!

Thanks everyone. Ellen, thanks for the tip on resizing pics. I am going to try that later tonight with some other pics I have.

My engagement ring center stone is 1.02 and the sidestones total .20 ct so they''re around 3 points each. It''s only 2.5 mm wide so it''s very thin and dainty. I personally love that look and I think it makes the center stone really pop, esp if the center stone is on the smaller end.

I am actually considering just getting a plain WG band to wear sometimes, esp to go to the beach or pool in the summer. Maybe a comfort band that also is 2.5 mm wide.

I love your set, it is absolutely stunning! Your ering it is exactly what I am looking for! may i ask where you got it?

lovely set!!

js_diamond -

is your engagement ring a james allen common prong engagement ring? i''m looking at that setting to set a small heart diamond i''ve had for a while and i love your setting so am hoping the 2 are one and the same...

 

[js_diamond]

Thanks again everyone for the lovely words.

My ering setting is from a local jeweler in the NYC diamond district. However, it is practically identical to the James Allen common prong one w/6 prong head: http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/settings-with-sidestones/Common-Prong-Engagement-Ring.html. It''s a lovely setting and complements most stones and sizes in my humble opinion.

Very pretty!

It''s beautiful! It would be all I could do to NOT wear it. I would totally be sneaking it out for a spin.

I do sometimes when FH isn''t with me. I am bad, I know.

 

[whitby_2773]

js_diamond - thats the one i was hoping it was. do you happen to know the size of the stones in your band? james allen has two common prong settings; the stones in one are 1.5 pts each and the size in the other are 3 pts. i''ve seen a setting with 1.5 pts recently, but am still looking for one with 3 pts, so i''m hoping yours might correlate to that specific one.....

thank you for your help - this will be a gift from a friend in june and he''s waiting for the go ahead.

hope your week is starting well

 

[whitby_2773]

js, i''m sorry - i just saw in an earlier post that you mentioned they were 3 pts each. so scrub my question
