I like my e-ring better without my w-ring. Am I weird?

[eks6426]

I have a beautiful wedding set. Michael B Petit Princess 3 sided pave....both ering (with rectangular radiant) and w-ring. For some reason I really like the look of my ering alone on my hand. I think it is the symmetry thing and it makes my center stone look bigger without the w-ring. Of course, I could never say this to DH because he''d be really upset. And I certainly could never start not wearing my w-ring (even switching it to my other hand would probably freak him out).

Does anyone else feel this way?

I do! When I picked my ering, I don''t think I ever tried to picture it with a band, and now that we are looking for bands I''m having the hardest time finding one that I like with my ering. Sometimes I wish I could just wear the ering alone becuase I love the look of it so much.

My mom actually thinks it's weird for me to wear my wedding band on the same finger as my e-ring (she's gotten used to it and I think she likes it this way now). She said that you are supposed to move the e-ring to the right hand and wear the wedding band alone on the left.

BTW: mine match too. I was never "spoiled" by wearing my e-ring along in it's current, because we upgraded it as a set (if that makes sense

) It looks much bigger though when I take the wedding band off

ETA: maybe you're a 2 w-band girl for symmetry one thin one on each side?

I totally understand ID, but the feelling of wanting to wear my ering alone comes in waves. After I wear the ering on my right hand for a while, I switch back to wearing the set on my left hand just to change it up a bit. That''s about as much as can be done with a matching set, unless you get some stacks to play with...

. I am not that fortunate yet

I chose a wedding band that''s practically invisible next to the Bulgari Beast. Part of me wants MORE BLING. But anything other than major more bling would look silly. So absent my lots-o-10 pointers eternity bling, invisi-band it is.

So, no, you''re not alone.

what about switching the e-ring to the right hand and wearing the w-ring on the left?

How long have you been wearing the w-band? Even after we brought home the w-band, I just couldn''t get used to the two of them because I looooved my e-ring alone. I wore the w-band around the house all the time before the wedding, and now we''ve been married 8 mos, the e-ring looks bizarre to me without the w-band. I put it on alone the other day and thought it looked totally strange.

I don''t think there''s anything wrong though with wearing your e-ring on a different hand though, if you really never warm up to the look.

no, you''re not weird. i can relate. i think my e-ring looks bigger w/out the wedding band too, but obviously after getting married, i can''t just wear my e-ring alone.

altho some people do. i have a friend that''s been married for 4 years now and she only wears her e-ring, but she tells me she''s sick of people congratulating her on her engagement.

i have two gfs that just got engaged. and their rings look so big ALONE. i would love to prance around with my e-ring only, but it wouldn''t feel right to me since i''m married now.

oh, and i tried wearing my e-ring on my right hand. it doesn''t *feel* right there. so there ya have it. i wear my whole set. but yeah, i know how ya feel.

 

[coatimundi_org]

not weird at all.

I wear my ering alone. I love the simple look. I''m crazy about throwing bands into the mix, though. I''m constantly changing. I don''t have one set look. As long as I have something on that finger, I feel good and married.

I know what you mean!!!!!!!! I bought a wedding set and absolutely hated the look together. It was a round brilliant with two tapered baguettes and then the wedding band had three baguettes. It matched but I just thought all of the diamonds detracted from my main diamond. After that, I had two settings that didn''t have a wedding band but then everyone did continuously congratulate me on my engagement. So now I have a solitaire that I wear with an eternity band. This is probably the best solution for me to: Have a wedding band, let my diamond be the center of attention and let me change out the eternity band for my fickle taste.

Mmmm...MB petite princess! What a beautiful set! That is a thin wedding band, so I am going to say that I think it is your imagination that it makes your diamond look smaller. I realize that the extra sparkle does take some of the attention away, and that is why some people get a plain solitaire so that there is not so much competition with the center stone. But I think your set is one of the prettiest there is, and many people would LOVE to have it!!!

I am one of those people! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the MB 3sided ring. It''s my dream ring that I will not be receiving.

I''m sure it looks great though even with your band!

Could you post some quick pics..you know for compairison sake to help us make a decision?

Oh yea, plus I want to drool over your ring!

Interesting thread, and I can totally relate!
I adore my set, but since I was already (loooong!) married when I got it, I never had the chance (like you younger gals do!) of wearing the e-ring alone for a few months (or longer).
My center stone definitely looks bigger to me without the w-ring... but I feel weirdly "unmarried" by only wearing the e-ring. Although, sometimes I do it anyway, just to enjoy the EYE CANDY!!!

You''re not weird. I love my w-band and I love how they look together, but after a two-year engagement, I''m used to seeing it and (loving it!) on its own.
