Ame- she said they could file down some of the metal so that it sits flush. Will it still look the same or change anything other than the band sitting flush? I love the basket and I think it looks just like the HW... I'm so specific I'm worried it will be totally different?

I really think you should go in person if you are super picky. Rings look alot different in real life vs in pics. Like Ame said, it probably looks metal-ish in the pics because they are so enlarged/zoomed in.
Here is my HW e-ring with an emerald cut paired with my soon-to-be wedding band. The rings should be swapped around. I was trying them on at HW when they were finally done...too excited to think about which way they should go. 
I hope this helps in giving you somewhat of an idea how the bands look when they do not sit flushed together. Good luck!

Wow beautiful rings! I'm thinking the space might be a bit smaller but it's still a beautiful look!
In order for the rings to sit flush the design has to be completely redone in a way that the head (the ENTIRE HEAD is the halo, holding the stone, with the sticky outty donut at the bottom connected to the ring itself) is above the band of the ring, possibly involving cathedrals or a reworked head that tapers into a point at the bottom. What I posted a link of from Precision Set is about the only way you're going to get a flush fit with a band, OR a Ritani Endless Love style if the entire head is not reworked to make it happen with less of a donut or no donut. So if having it look identical to HW is important just get HW.
what metal would you file down? The head? the halo? IF you file metal down the chance of losing stones increases exponentially.

My boyfriend asked that about the loss of stones..
I wish there was a Harry Winston close to me... That way I could see what it would look like. Getting the real HW we lose carat size for the name, so I'm not sure if it's worth getting a 1 carat starting at 25,000!
Thank you.
There is a bit of a gap because of the donut so you'll need to consider that or the setting from Precision Set posted by Ame is a great alternative.marialc121 said:Thank you.
I really love the setting, it wouldn't be the same if I changed it. If you have anymore photos ( with or without a band!) I'd love to see! Angles too!
what carat size is your ring? Sooooo pretty!
It is worth it!! Because it is HARRY WINSTON!!!
It is true that nobody will know what brand it is, but U urself knows it.
I would have self satisfaction even if nobody comments how beautiful my ring is or whatever, because me myself knows that it is HARRY WINSTON!

Pave is delicate. Many folks never lose stones, some lose them all the time. You just never know. People can lose them from HW and Tiffany just like anywhere else.
It would vary most likely based on shape AND size. The larger the stone, the larger donuts do tend to be for strength, esp on a tiny thin band.
I personally don't think HW is worth it unless you yourself knowing that its the HW brings you comfort or pleasure.
Maria, ur ring took my breath away again everytime u posted a new picture of it! It got me thinking whether i should buy the RB or emerald. Haha..
That day i saw a women tried on an emerald cut in debeers... It is so eye catching and look so elegant. And funny is, when she took off and tried the RB...the RB suddenly looks so simple and normal and not nice if compared to the EMERALD! Do u still like ur emerald? Hehe.
