EXACTLY..........Where is the 1.6 band (#1) from?
 
This is funny. I''m normally not a big size gal, and usually less is more with me, so I surprised myself liking 2 so much...


It''s ALL your faults, you''re ruining me.

I like #1 the best - they are in the best proportion to your e-ring.
 
# 1 Hands down! I think it is the best proportion for your gorgeous e-ring. I think the second one is too large - it distracts from the diamond. I like # 3 also, but I think the proportion of # 1 is perfect.
 
i LOVE #1!!!!! it really complements your beautiful e-ring!!!

I think all of them are pretty but if you choose #2 --- make sure the color of the five stones is the same or lower than your e-ring stone. In the pix of #2 ... I see a contrast between the colors that doesn''t flatter your e-ring ... & it''s CLEARLY just the comparison, because your ring looks amazing in all the other pix.

If I was choosing for myself -- I''d be tempted by the bling of #2... but ultimately would choose #3 because of the proportions. The chunkiness of the profile of #1 bothers me a bit, as it pairs up with your solitare.

What a delicious dilemna!!!

Just like to point out that when you talk about the second one, you say "but love love love the size of #2 " so ....I think that''s all that matters!!!!

so yeah...I think if your so in love with it (besides the fact that it makes your diamond and the whole set look AMAZING!!!

Hi, Woo, sorry to be a day late weighing in here! I also have a solitaire with a diamond band. I have a preference, but I want to ask you a couple of questions first. Refresh my memory on the size of your diamond. Then, what size are the stones in the full eternity #1? Also, who makes #1, and are the stones set low enough that this ring does not stick out further than your e-ring when you look straight down at your finger? I can''t tell that from the pictures. I will say that #3 is way too small for your other ring, and my tendency is to think #2 is too big (a fabulous stand-alone ring, though!), although you can get other similar bands in any size (7 and 9 stone, etc.).
 
I vote number 1...
 
Wooooo sorry I was out of town for the evening and morning... #1 is from 5th Ave Jewelers... I have purchased many items from them... They do a really nice job.... I am going to post a couple more shots. My ering is 1.61ct. It is I color... The stone seem to match really well however do see in the one photo a little difference. I have been playing with them all week and must make a decision today

here are some more photos :)
 
here is #1 eternity band

Woo:

I am shamelessly swayed by the "bling factor" of the five stone.
So #2 is definitely my favorite!
 
#2 is nice from pics, but having a similar ring, i think the size of the diamonds in #2 would compete too much with the center stone for me personally. i wish i could see these in person! it''s SO hard to pick on based on a 2D picture! that''s why i didn''t respond sooner. i just don''t know which to choose. maybe more pics would help?
 
5 stone..pictures not that good...

Picture 8762.jpg
 
the second pic of the .50 ring looks PERFECT, but it''s so difficult b/c i didn''t love it as a favorite when i saw the first shot of it.

i''m so torn.
 
Wooo

I think #3 complements your engagement ring the best. The other two rings feel like they''re competing for attention wih your e-ring, IMO - especially #2.
 
No 2 ! just seems to sit well and complement perfectly without overpowering imho
 
Hi Woobug,

I like 1, so I am kind of in the minority as 2 seems to be the favorite. I just like the fact that I can enjoy both rings on your finger- you can see them both equally and they look lovely together. They are perfectly balanced. I became even more convinced when I saw the pics near your keyboard. I find that the other two combinations of rings the diamond bands are hidden more, even though they are stunning rings. I figure if you are going to wear something that gorgeous, might as well be able to see it and enjoy it.

I prefer #3 - complimentary and sparkly without upstaging the center stone.

I like more, believe me, but I feel like #2 is just too distracting......takes away from the center stone.
 
I vote for numero uno. The second one''s too big with such a lovely engagement ring stone, and the third one is too small compared to your engagement ring. But the first one is juuuuust riiiiiight.

I love #3! Makes your diamond look huge. Then I would choose #1, then #2.
 
If I have to pick from the 3 pictures, I like #3 the best! #1 is gorgeous, but it takes away from your juicy big center stone, in my opinion! I don''t really like #2 for the same reason and I just don''t like the setting as much as I like the eternity bands.

Now, here''s my proposal for option #4: an eternity band in between the two carat weights of the ones you have. Maybe a .75 ctw eternity? Or even a 1 ctw? I just think #1 is a wee big and #3 could be a wee bigger! I know, I''m difficult!
 
I like #1 the best (1.60 eternity). I think the 5 stone ring stones are too big and compete with your stone. I like #3, but not as much as #1.
