Where to look for ideas for a wedding band? But one problem....?

Question

My diamond is actually so big due to the shape- it's a oval... I will have to get a custom band made. It' has to have a curve in it to fit around the stone. UGH, I can't find anything I like and will have to have something made but I am surprised that one carries anything like this? I want a band that only curved on one side and straight on the other so it doesn't look curved. All the band I have found are curved on both sides. I want baquets going across the whole band. I am just trying to find a picture of one to look at to see if I like it and then take it to the jeweler for ideas- he told me to bring a picture, he doesn't have any in his office. He is a friend of my brother inlaws and normally doesn't do small jobs- only retail stores so he can make anything but needs a picture.

I just need a picture.

Answer 1

Blow me.

Answer 2

Why not get a wedding band that is slightly smaller in size than your engagement ring? For example, my wedding band is a size 5 1/2 and the engagement ring is a 5 3/4 so the ring setting fits slightly over the band, without covering it completely.

Answer 3

I believe the Debeers website has something where you can choose the cut of the gem and the type of setting. Otherwise, try Tiffany's or Zale's. If the jeweler can't come up with ideas of his own, I would also suggest shopping around and finding a different jeweler.

Answer 4

Sometimes, a wedding band takes away from your engagement ring. My suggestion is to forget the whole band idea...and just have your engagement ring. Forget all the crap about tradition, and just worry about what you want the ring to look like!

Answer 5

most places can design the ring you want. if this guy cant do it then go someplace else for it.
