Wedding bands width concern

Mine are like that just opposite. My e-ring is thin in the back and my wedding ring is thicker. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Same here. My engagement ring and my band are the same width and I originally wanted to do two bands, one for each side, but now I'm thinking there isn't enough room on my poor finger for it! I already have the stones set aside on layaway, I wonder what I should do with them? I wonder if they can make a thinner band for the second one. All thing I need to ask them, no doubt. We weren't planning on having the second made right away.

That is very thin, however I think it would be fine - especially if you soldered them. I suggest soldering for two reasons, 1) it will minimize the wear on the band (which WILL happen over time) and 2) it will ensure the band doesn't bend. Honestly I'd be most concerned about the band bending which would cause the stones to come loose. My engagement ring is fairly thin, slightly wider than your band, and has become bent twice and required repair. For the record, I worked at a jewelry store and am VERY easy on ring. I will be soldering it for extra stability as soon as we are married. If I want to reverse it later I will (can be done as long as the metals are the same).

That does look very thin! I don't like this jeweler- they FOR SURE could have done it properly they just either didn't want to or know how.

The soldering idea people had was good, but if you are like me and will want the option of wearing the rings separately, I would just pick another ring.

As beautiful as it is, it is too thin to wear everyday and expect it to hold up through time.

I was going to pick a more expensive ring that was thinish and my jeweler advised against it for that reason. (I assume she was being truthful because that ring she advised against was hundreds more than the one I ended up getting so she could have had a bigger payday)

Have you gotten a second opinion from another jeweler on replacing the shank? I have my great grandmother's engagement ring from the 1920s. Before my FH proposed, my mom had the ring checked, and one of the things they did was replace the base of the shank because it had become very thin over the years. I'm not sure what that individual cost was, but the total cost to repair my ring (re-cut the main diamond which was chipped, replace the main setting, fix the shank) was $700 and I doubt the shank repair was the biggest part of that.
