Jewelry Man Wedding Band
Q: We just took a gander at wedding bands the other day and I saw a nice
plain one that I expected would be perfect for the future husband. He
balked and said no, he wanted a band that had diamonds.
This was completely unexpected. Maybe he's just jerking my chain, but he
may have actually seen a men's ring like that which he liked, or he just
came up with the idea out of the blue.
Anyway, I wanna know if anyone else is getting or has gotten a men's
wedding band with diamonds. I can't even picture how the diamonds would
be included or attached. Everything I envision is flashy, tacky, or
laughable. In other words, I hate the idea, but before I pursue the
issue I want independent outside counsel!
A:I've seen lots of men's wedding bands with diamonds (and other stones)
and only a few have been really tacky. The bulk of the ones I've seen
have the diamonds inset(or recessed) into the band itself or into a
decorative pattern. One central inset stone, three small ones set
diagonally with black etching, one square cut central stone etc.
If he wants a band with diamonds, don't worry, I'll bet you can find one
that is very tasteful that you both like.
My fiancee's band is 18k gold, has a square sapphire inset with white
gold "channels" (or lines, or edge) on the sides but not the top or
bottom. Looks great and nothing to snag or catch on
