Hey, hey, hey.

What's R2577?

Good Catch djm!


This is the first of some new Gentleman's Diamond Bands we'll be introducing.
Super clean production- amazing channel setting.
We make these to order in pretty much any color metal/diamond combo
We will have a few more styles later this week.

I believe it is about 4.5mm wide.
That's a great point- we'll need to make sure to include MM measurements for the guys......


For example- this custom made jobbie is 9mm. Bold

Interesting how very different these two rings are.  I find men's WBs EXREMELY difficult to match and fit to a man... thickness and style are SO important.  To me, for some reason, women seem to have greater latitude in terms of what works for style and size.  Why is that?  Or, I am I just completely sexist? (So sorry if that's the consensus). Maybe it's just that MY man's hands are difficult to pair with a ring??? 

Hummm. After I wrote this I began thinking... (unusual, I know!).  But, my DH has BIG, farmer boy hands, yet, also, his taste is somewhat more classic and refined.  And, like Mr. M, he's NOT a stone guy (I tried). It was very difficult to find something "just right."  My first hubbie had large hands as well.  He didn't wear a WB, and I can't imagine a ring on his hands unless it were a classic, plain, rounded comfort fit band - kind of basic. My brother, on the other hand (no pun intended), has more average-sized mitts, with long, slender fingers.  He can probably wear just about any kind of ring he wnts to (and he does... he has some of my grandfather's rings that he wears often).  So, perhaps it is just a hand-thing, not a male/female-thing?

Hahaha, Jen, maybe you should give your DH the eternity band and TRADE-UP for yourself? 

Lynne-strange creatures indeed! 

Lynne-- I know I've told this story before, but it is worth retelling here.

Twenty six and a half years ago, right after our wedding, DW and I are driving to our honeymoon destination. We are married less than 24 hours. Keep in mind that I 'm  a poor college student, currently employed as a beach lifeguard (been one for 10 years) and just the money from the wedding envelopes in my pocket--(what a catch ). Anyhow, we are driving along and I am gripping the steering wheel when I realize that my wedding band is cutting into the web space of my fingers. I put up with it for about an hour then casually take off the ring and slip it into the front pocket of my jeans. I feel DW looking at me as I'm doing this but nothing was said. I figure it's no big deal.

About 5 minutes later, DW says: "Honey, can you reach behind you and hand me my purse?" With my eyes still on the road, I reach behind and start feeling for her purse. Once I secure it, I hand it to her and watch from the corner of my eye as to what was so important that she needed her purse right then.
I watch as she unzips her purse, slips out her wallet and opens the change purse in front. I'm thinking, how sweet that she's getting out toll money, when I see her slip off her ER and wedding band and put it in the change purse. I watch her put it back in the purse, zip it up then gently place her purse on the back seat behind her.
Now, I'm facing her with a "what the..." look on my face.
"Well..." she says in a sweet voice, "if you're not going to wear your ring then I'm not going to wear mine".

I haven't taken off my ring since!

 

As for the wedding bands with stones--I believe that if they are designed to look more masculine, more guys would wear them. First of all they have to be comfortable, secondly they have to be contemporary and thirdly they can't outbling their wife's ring.

I personally like the idea of multiple brown diamonds in brushed platinum 8mm width--dark heavy yet refined.
Here's a challenge for all of you...if you guys had to design a multiple stone (colored or colorless) wedding band for your man, what would it look like?

LOL DJM
My daughter in law doesn`t bat an eyelid about him not wearing his wedding band. She`s one of the rare women who doesn`t care a toss about jewellery.
When he asked her to marry him he gave her a budget big enough to buy a stunning ring, at first she said she didn`t want to bother with an ER but after much persuasion she bought a teenie tiny princess cut solitaire and then told him to pack his suitcase because the rest of the ER ring budget was being spent on a holiday for them both.
They`ve been married for 5 years on May 1st and she`s still the same. In fact I gave her 3 very nice rings a few months ago and they`re still sitting in the box waiting to be sized by her, I bet she never wears them but I`m not offended because it`s just the way she is and I know she`ll keep them safe for my grand daughter even if she herself never bothers with them.
Now give her a horse, car or the opportunity to travel somewhere and she`d snatch your hand off

I think something similar to his ring with brown diamonds hammer set into it would be fabulous or alternating white and browns

Atta girl, Mrs. M, always have a fall-back position! Afterall, we can't let even one, precious stone go to waste.

I will work on them DJM-hubby has the camera today, so at the soonest tomorrow  

DJM-I drew this band for my pink baguette and just changed it to a bezel set brown bag in a 2 tone band or a bezel set white baguette in an all plat band !?!?!  For me I would want the bezel for the baguette to sit up on top of the band alittle and not flush with it, but for a man's ring I think flush would be nice
