So I got my e-ring back today, and we discussed the options with the diamond band since I cannot wear it with the ering at all. We discussed filing some out, and resizing but he's not entirely sure the structure of this ring can handle that, as it's a low-set band. And I was a little concerned about that too, so I agreed that's really not the best plan. So we looked through books, through his stock, etc., and one of the bands in his case from Gottleib and Sons is perfect. It's not channel set but it's like...bead set or something. It has rounded shank other than at the top where the stones would be. We are probably going to use 9 or 10 of my stones and that way itll stop perfectly across my finger. The one he had was about 2mm wide as the stones were smaller, but it felt lovely, and won't stab the sides of my finger if I squeeze. He thinks he can get the blank fairly cheap, but if not, he'll do a custom on it for me. I think we're looking at about $1000 for this, which DH is NOT happy about but I didn't really plan for that either. But I don't want to have another item I cannot wear. We have some $300 Visa gift card that expires soon so I will maybe use that for part of it, plus any scrap value I get from the metal. Im seriously annoyed about how a spacer really won't solve the problem. I even tried it on with a 4mm band and it still was able to hit the head. It was for lack of a better word, pretty *f-bomb*-ing amazing how easily they hit each other!
So hopefully tomorrow I will have a price, and if I can get it done ASAP I will, since he will work with me on paying. We are WAY in the "hole" financially since Christmas, Dental Bills, procrastinated flight purchases and tires just ate a hole in our savings, so I am hopeful I can have it all paid in two months. I have to pay off my Christmas purchases first.
I can't seem to find a photo of this band though. Closest one I found is this:

I am excited and frustrated but Ill bet this will be a lot safer.
