White Gold Solitaire Diamond Ring, Wedding ring question ?
Q.Well, I personally like the look of all yellow gold. I, too, have a solitaire -- it is in a tiffany setting. I went with a 4mm gold band, and it looks great -- very simple and classic. I know a lot of people are going with the white gold or platinum rings these days because it seems to be a trend. I wear almost all silver jewelry, but I wanted my weddign ring to be gold. My hands are pretty small, and anything wider would have been too much. I think a total of 6mm next to your e-ring will probably be too much if your hands are small. I think 4mm is perfect, but I'm biased. You do not want to detract from your beautiful diamond by adding too much to the wedding ring, right? I wanted no diamonds or extra stuff on my wedding band -- just plain and simple. I think it is very classic, and very "me". I had my e-ring and wedding band soldered together for free. It is very cheap, so you could do that if you really want to, but really think about this and which will you be happy with 10, 20, 30 years from now. Someday, you might want to add an anniversary band (or not), and there really won't be any room if you have all those bands. I think mine will stay this way forever. I love the simplicity, and since my diamond is a very beautiful, one carat round brilliant, I can't see putting anything next to it that will compete. Does this make sense? I think maybe you should keep looking, though you already bought a band. By the way, my husband also has a plain 4 mm gold comfort fit band, just like mine!! :) I guess my question is why do you want the white gold if your e-ring is yellow? I just don't see them going together well unless it is a very thin edge of white gold on the wedding band. I could see getting this band if you were planning to wear it by itself when you are not wearing your e-ring. I always wear both rings (as they are soldered together), so that isn't an option for me.
A.This is sort of a dumb question, but my brain is spinning, so bear with me, please. :-) Of all of the wedding ring styles I've looked at, the one I've liked most has a stacked ring look....that is, imagine three 2mm plain bands stacked together....yellow gold for the outer two layers, and white gold on the inner layer. I've found several rings which are pretty close to this description, but none of them really look right with my engagement ring (which is a plain round solitaire on a yellow gold band)....I know it's only because I'm picky, but most of these rings are flattened, while my engagement ring is rounded (if you see what I'm saying) , and I just don't like the way it looks. I finally ended up buying a plain yellow gold 2mm band. However, I'm beginning to think that if I don't try harder to find THE ring, I'm going to be disappointed. So my question is, is there any reason why I wouldn't be able to just buy two more rings identical to the one I have now, and have them all soldered together? Unless the soldering is really expensive, that would even end up being cheaper than the single rings I've seen that look like this. Or, if that ends up looking like too much on me (I have fairly small hands), would a yellow band and a white band soldered together look dumb? Or does anyone have any other suggestions? Again, please try to overlook the inherent dumbness of this question. All of these little things are beginning to nag at my brain (just over a month until the Big Day!) and I'm afraid my faculties aren't up to par! K.., i just had to say, that every time you say that white gold and platinum are trendy, i get a chuckle, since i have a platinum ring, and am just about the least trendy person ever! i wanted platinum both because it's much stronger than gold (and being a clutz, i would dent a gold ring!), and also because silver tones look better than gold on my skin. i also thought platinum actually looked more vintage or classic (i love estate jewelry, and most that i really like is white gold). i also wonder if i was influenced by the fact that my mom has a white gold band, so to me, a woman's wedding right is "supposed" to be silver-toned!
