Help me choose a wedding band!

[ephemery1]

Hmmm.... great feedback, everyone... thank you so much!! I should have done this as a poll... it seems so evenly split between all three options! I also appreciate the suggestions from people who weren't really feeling any of them.

I did consider just a plain, thin band, and tried it out by turning one of my current rings around so only the band part showed beside my e-ring... definitely not a bad look, but probably not my favorite either. It didn't really "flow", because of the non-uniform thickness of my setting. I also like the idea of having some diamonds on it for occasions when I'd want to wear it alone, sans e-ring, but still have a little bling.

It seems like nobody has had any personal experience with the invisible setting of #1 (my fiance's favorite, suprisingly, since he doesn't usually like things too flashy). I AM a little apprehensive about the safety of it... unless someone tells me otherwise!

I am also seriously considering the Signed Pieces band pictured below. It has the bar-setting I like about #2, though slightly more subtle bars... and smaller stones as well... about .07ct each, while my current sidestones are .15ct each. Thoughts? Keep the opinions coming... this is great!!

I like #2 or #3 but would go with smaller stones so they don''t distract from your beautiful e-ring.

I agree with some of the others. I don''t like any of the options with your ring, but if I had to choose, I''d choose #3.

I agree with making your e-ring the star. Let us know what you decide.

Oh I like the smaller one you posted. I know they have a good return policy. You could always order it just to see it with your w-ring.

I love #1 with your e-ring, but I would worry about the problems that others have had. I think my second favorite would be #3.

I think we''ll probably order this one just to check it out. We''ve got some time to decide, still.

I also tried on a smaller eternity band at Bailey, Banks, & Biddle this weekend that looked nice... though I think my saleswoman was having an off-day. She was less than enthusiastic and I had the sense I was wasting her time every time I asked to try on another band. I did a quick self-inventory and yes, I was wearing very non-designer Abercrombie jeans and my bag was only Coach (though I DID visit the LV store to drool for a while...haha)... but geez... that didn''t make me any less likely to buy something. Oh well... I''ll assume it was just personal problems unrelated to me.

Thanks again, everyone!

Oh, I HATE that. I look very young for my age and I HATE it when people in stores don''t take me seriously!

I like #3 best.

Have you considered getting a really thin plain band and a diamond band and wearing the plain band between the e-ring and the diamond band? I have this set-up and I think it really helps the e-ring "stand-out."

Your ering is beautiful! I like band #1 but would go with smaller diamonds. Your ering should shine!!

I love this idea... I was thinking about it originally because my fiance would like to engrave something in my band, and I thought it might be nice to get a more permanent simple band for this purpose... that way if I ever changed up my setting or diamond band, I''d still have the engraved one. I couldn''t find any pix of this look though... would you happen to have a picture of your set to post? I would love to see it!!

I like the look of #2! It makes the whole set look "clean." Or maybe "sleek" is the word?

Do you know what the size of the stones are in band #2? I''m in a conundrum myself looking for a half-eternity-band. Good luck!

 

[anchor31]

My favorites are 2 and 3, I think the stones in 1 distract too much from your e-ring.

This one is an eternity band... but the bar-setting is what I like, because they match the little bar-set bits on the outsides of my sidestones. Also, Signed Pieces has a half-eternity bar-set band that looks very similar, but with slightly smaller stones... which might be a good option...

I''m a size 5.25 and this is probably a 6 or so, so it might look a little clunkier on me than the correct size would?

I like this one the best, with the bars - either full or half eternity... and I would get whatever size matched your side diamonds... that could be too matchy for you lol

Being a fan of the PLAIN wedding band (that can be worn ALL the time lol) I am *also* a fan of anniversary/eternity bands. hehehe... I would get married with the plain band *and* incorporate a diamond covered band... you can wear all three or mix and match and you always have a ring you can wear, even gardening

there ya go... I''d have the plain one be my actual wedding band "committment" and have it sandwiched between "promise" and "eternity"
