WB Help! Antique/Ebayers?!

[lovebug1031]

I'm not ready to buy yet, but need some ideas. My E-ring won't allow for a true flush fit and i'm not really interested in a curved band.

Here's my e-ring - the second set i pisted shows the profile. I can post more pics if need be!

I'd ilke something with diamonds or other gemstones that won't overwhelm my e-ring. It can be white gold, plat, or rose gold - doesn't matter to me! And i'd like it in the $500 or less range.

Here are two bands i like. Ideally i'd like to find something that WILL fit flush if the stones or something were spaced far enough apart i think it could work.

Edited to add - this is my ALL TIME FAV. band - too expensive for me though

Some ideas:

Any of these 3: http://www.e-weddingbands.com/store/14K-Rose-Gold-Petite-Diamond-Bands.html

This one: http://www.e-weddingbands.com/store/product168561.html

Could likely be made in rose gold: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIQUE-SOLID-14K-WHITE-GOLD-PAVE-WEDDING-BAND-36ct-DIAMOND-ENGAGEMENT-RING-/370501364809?pt=US_Fine_Rings&hash=item56439a2c49

A few from ID Jewelry (might be able to have these made in rose gold, too, but it might not match your ring since rose gold alloys can vary a lot from what I've read) but you can see others if you just search 'stack':

http://idjewelryonline.com/product_info.php?products_id=10871&cType=ER
http://idjewelryonline.com/product_info.php?products_id=32208&cType= (my favorite since I love pear shapes)

Edited to add: Gabriel & Co. has a lot of band options, too: http://www.gabrielny.com/engaged/styles?category=WB

Not sure about your budget, but I found that ring on ebay. One seller is asking $2,600+ - make me an offer.

 

[lovebug1031]

Budget is $500 or less. Thanks for the options none of those will sit flush with my e-ring though I gad seen that one on eweddingbands.com and it may still be an option, but not my first choice since it won't sit flush

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Oh, I love that Tiffany ring as well! It's on my wish list!

I think the Beverley K rings are going to go best with your ring. But you would need to need raise your budget, I'm afraid. I'd wear a straight thin diamond band at the bottom, then an alternating marquise shape bezel/round bezel, and then the e-ring. Any of these can be made in rose gold.

Or, one wider shaped band:

This one you posted is great!

I wouldn't sweat the flush thing. Rings usually move unless they are tight on your finger. I prefer that they not look glued together personally, because that looks like one wide ring to me rather than two,

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Just looking at the IDJ rings and the Gabriel site, it looks like IDJ needs to update their prices!

http://www.gabrielny.com/engaged/style/WB4122W44JJ

Still, a beautiful band at a good price!

I know it is over budget, but I immediately thought of your post when I saw it. I love that is is a true antique piece.

Could you see if Brian Gavin or Whiteflash could make a band similar to the Tiffany one you love? Doubt it would be less than $500, though... I am curious, if you wanted to have a flush fit band, why did you get a setting that wouldn't allow for that? Or were you hoping for the Tiffany band and now it's out of budget?

Some more potentials, sorry if I linked any of these before:

Because I didn't choose my setting! otherwise I would have chosen something that would allow for flush fit

What about something from this site?

i had it bookmarked from a PS thread about this ring.

Thanks, the website was just posted above as well! I'll bookmark the site, I've never heard of this designer before!

Hey lovebug- You might check out LOGR/LOP for some if your budget is really strict. I got an eternity similar to the Gabriel one posted (with the marquise shapes) and have been pleased with it. The diamond upgrade isn't a whole lot more and is usually recommended here.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Art-Deco-Antique-Style-32ct-Diamond-Milgrain-14K-White-Gold-Wedding-Band-Ring-/261028023060?pt=US_Fine_Rings&var=&hash=item3cc67b8b14


ETA- oops- I see rubybeth already posted some LOGR for you!

I also had another thought. Maybe if you got a super skinny spacer (like from Etsy, under $100) then you could pretty much put whatever you like with it without having to worry about the flush fit issue and probably still be under budget if you shop wisely. I was thinking the super skinny spacer might compensate a little with the lack of flush fit potential (???).

LIke this:

Ahh, that makes more sense!

I would also recommend frequenting Diamond Bistro and Loupe Troop if you aren't already, because sometimes things pop up that you wouldn't expect.

Ame's post on Adam Foster led me to this, I wonder if he'd do a version with some diamonds in bezels or something for about $500: http://www.etsy.com/listing/102143592/14k-wedding-band-ball-band

did you see this one?

If it were me... I'd get a plain band from GOG for now, and plan on replacing it with either that tiffany's band or something similar made by GOG on some future anniversary. Rose gold colors can vary significantly, and if you're looking for a flush fit look, you'd probably want a nice match in gold tones as well - not to mention that the color of the gold used in your e-ring is nothing short of luscious! The e-bay rings are pretty, but if you want both gold and diamonds with your budget you're going to be compromising somewhere - on the quality of the stones or workmanship, or on the amount or metal. For me... for a wedding ring... I'd rather compromise on the sparkle and get simple ring that has a bit of heft to it.
