antique e ring & michael b. side band

[legra]

I have been lurking for about a month and enjoying the pics of everyone's beautiful rings. I found PS while researching Michael B. eternity bands to replace my wedding ring that I lost (original one was a Michael B. crown lace side band). Thought I would share pics of my e ring and wedding band. I got engaged in fall of 1997, married 7/2/00.

The e ring is a vintage 1920's platinum ring with a 0.71 ct OEC or EC(?) diamond and pave side stones. I believe the stats on the center stone are I/J color, SI1 clarity (this is from memory as we never got an official report). My husband found the ring at an antique store in Boston, MA. He had told his classmate in the lab he was working in that he was going to look for e rings and his classmate's wife had just seen the ring while window shopping (lucky for us!)

The new wedding band is a Michael B. trois side band - 0.27 ct tw eternity band, F-G color, VVS1-VVS2.

Pictures were taken by DH who enjoys photography as a hobby. Hope you enjoy the pics!

e ring by itself (here you can see a chip at 6 o'clock - I'm pretty sure I caused this by knocking the ring around

but not absolutely sure because I didn't notice it until about a year after I got the ring):

Wow, I love your engagement ring. I am a sucker for antique rings and yours is just gorgeous. I think your band goes awesome with it as well, but it stinks you lost the first one.

W! I love your ring! I 'm a big fan of the illusion setting (if that's the appropriate term) and love the split-shankness on the sides!! That's a very pretty stone too!!! Looks great with your new band too!
