The shank varies with the size of the stone.

my 6.5mm Celeste from AD measures (the shank, before the cathedral shoulders begin) just under 2mm tall, and the bottom of the shank (palm side) is about 1.3mm thick.

that's height of the metal up off the finger. it's about 3.5mm wide at the top, and about 2.5mm wide on the palm side.

here's my ring (rose gold, 1ct center Asha OEC, sz 8) right after i got it, before i took the tag off:




i love the Celeste setting.

Thanks Dana!!
From the pictures it looks pretty thick, but with your measurements, it seems alright.

Love the side profile of the ring. *drool*

Thanks!


With the Celeste setting the thickness of the band depends on the size of the stone. My Asha is 6mm and the band seems to be between 2mm and 3mm.

The band thickness increases as the center stone increases.

GREAT pictures!! Compared to the cz, the asha is like the "high def" version, so crisp and clear, much more diamonds like.

I just ordered the same ring, except with a 1 ct RB moissanite in it. Your pictures definitely helped to sway my decision. Your ring is stunning, and I'm so excited!

oh, yes. my Celeste is from AD and is 14kt rose gold. it's slightly higher in price (roughly equal to the two-tone gold price, when available), and i believe it's considered special order, but yes, absolutely, and it's a very pretty rose gold, too smile

I took a few pics yesterday at work. Sorry the lighting, etc. isn't the best and my ring is a bit dirty from wear but it should give you a good idea how thick the band is.

My ring is size 7. The Asha is 6mm (0.75ct).
