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".

A: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! You could try to find a jeweler who custom makes rings, and get the ring you really want made to go with your engagement ring. My engagement ring is custom made, and we plan to do the same for the wedding bands. I didn't find it that much more expensive than other shops, and we were able to create what we really wanted - the only limits being our imaginations and taste. The two tone colors--I think they look great together, especially in simple bands of color placed next to each other. A lot of men's rings are made like this, and it looks really good. You might look at the men's rings to see what looks good to you with two-tone bands. If your engagement ring is yellow, you could always have it framed on both sides by a slim band of the white. If you like that look, perhaps you could have the yellow band you bought exchanged for this. If you want to stick with the gold wedding band, why not just sandwich a slender white band between it and the engagement ring, to get the two tone look? If each was 2 mm, you'd end up with something not too daunting. Another point to consider is that the "middle" white band in this sandwich could be exchanged or modified at a later date to make an anniversary band (sort of like a ring jacket, above your plain wedding ring).
