Does my wedding band look too wide for my fingers?

Does my wedding band look too wide for my fingers?

I was so happy when I picked up my ring on Sat. but when I tried it on it looked really wide and weird on. The lady said that I'll get used to it but when I showed my mom the first thing that she said was that it was too wide for my fingers. I was thinking about having one diamond taken out to make it more 'round' looking.

Right now it has 7 diamonds..should I remove one and make it six or remove two and make it a 5 stone diamond ring?

First of all I want to say it is a beautiful ring. I do think it looks too big for your finger. I voted for removing one stone. Or maybe even smaller stones will look better or go with your ring better. JMO!!

The first picture I didn't think it look too big, but next to your e-ring it does. If you plan on wearing them together then remove at least one stone! I agree it is a very beautiful ring!

I'd say wait and then make a decision after wearing it awhile. It is a bit wide. Maybe you can make a pendant out of the diamond or save it for a past present future setting necklace.

I think its a bit too wide too...but suggested taking only 1 stone out - this way if you need to take another out, it shouldn't be a problem. maybe the jeweler can recommend if you should take 1 or 2 out?
But, I must say - it is stunning! (and you e-ring too!)

The ring is beautiful, but definitely too wide. Is it even comfortable like that? I would take one stone out (and save the stone for something special - like to give to your daughter someday if you have one) and see how it fits that way.

First thing...the ring is absolutely gorgeous...however, I do think it's too wide and just something doesn't look right. I'd say remove one stone and it will look perfect!!!

The first thing that I said when I tried it on was that it was too wide and the lady insisted that it looked fine. I called FI this morning to tell him that i wore it a while and it felt uncomfortable on. He actually said 'That's ironic you have to change this one too, maybe it's a sign' (I changed the setting on my e-ring to a thicker band because the other one was very thin...he got very insulted) I really got upset and told him that if he wants me to keep it this way, fine but it looks strange on and it's not like it was a surprise, i'm the one who picked it out.

I would take one out...It is too wide in my opinion. But it is a beautiful ring and will look stunning

Yes it is too wide, it may bother your other fingers as well.ETA: It will definately bother your other fingers!

I really like the idea of taking 2 out and making them into earings. If you take one out than you should either save the diamond for your child, or maybe have it made into a pendant for your MOH or mother.

Like everyone else said, it is a beautiful ring, but honestly it doesnt look right with that ring... its way to big, and doesnt sit right with it... I'd go back to your jeweler and tell her to make it fit better with your e-ring... I'm sure it was a ton of money, and your first gut reaction is normally right... why would you settle for something that you feel isnt 100% what you want... you are going to wear it forever!!! Good Luck sweetie!
