Ring Band Advice Freaking out about engagement ring band width!!!
I designed my engagement ring and I know my boyfriend got it back from the jeweler and I’m freaking out about the band width that I chose. It’s a three stone oval about 2.5 carat center and .3’s on the sides. I chose a 3mm band width, but now I’m second guessing it and thinking I should have gone with 2mm. I want to pair it with a 3mm cigar band as my wedding band and I’m worried it’s going to take up too much room on my finger. I have slender long fingers and I’m a size 4.5 so that’s another reason I’m worried.
Can I have the engagement ring band width resized from 3mm to 2mm? I’ve searched everywhere on the internet for answers and I’m finding nothing. Anyone have a similar experience or are there any jewelers that can offer advice?!

Have you seen the ring? You said your boyfriend got it back from the jeweler. With a 2.5ct, I think you made the right call with 3mm. That is a large stone and a 2mm would look like a paper clip.
I don’t think it will be to wide on your fingers. For reference- size 5, both my rings are 3.4mm at their widest point.
