[february2003bride]

I would *love* to see pictures of sets that have a plain solitare engagement ring with a plain wedding band! Does anyone have this type of set anymore? lol

Thanks!

Hi guys!!

I love the look of a plain band next to a plain solitaire. It's always a classic look.

A question for the posters-- What are the millimeter widths for both your wedding band and your solitaire engagement ring?

Thanks...

This is a nice thread! All of your rings are beautiful

I love how single stones really make a statement! Here I am trying to get as many big stones in my set as possible, and these rings are so much more me--traditional and classy. If only I didn''t love diamonds so much!!!

Pearberry,
i don''t know about the others but mine are about 2mm each, 4mm together..

Pearberry,

Mine are each 2.5mm.

Pearberry,
solitaire:2mm
WB:3.5mm
I actually prefer the look of mrssalvo''s set but my wedding band matches hubby''s (his is wider but same design).

Thanks guys!

Here''s mine. Sorry for the bad shots. My pear actually sparkles a lot but this could be due to the flourescent office lighting.

Here''s another shot. Sorry''s it not better though.

DiaDiva,
Your Pear Looks HUGE. Do you have stats and more pictures somewhere?

DiaDiva,
Yes, please tell us more about your beautiful pear!!!

DiaDiva, your e-ring and w/band are stunning!! Please give the specs!

Thank you all for the gorgeous photos! It helped me make my decision to go with a 2.5mm solitare setting with a 2.5mm w/band. My center diamond is a 1.06 Princess cut that I love and really want that to be the focus. My current setting is a cathedral solitare and it seems to take away from the diamond quite a bit.

I also felt that I could have more "play" with a plain w/band and e-ring. DH is getting me a .50 carat princess channel ring from Blue Nile (in white gold since I''m switching over from platinum) to wear as a RHR or as a wedding band if I want. So I feel like I have more options on changing my rings around! And having kids, there are more days I wear JUST a w/band than both e-ring and w/band

I''ll post pictures as soon as I get my rings back from Blue Nile. I have to ship my diamond off to them tomorrow!

Thanks!

DiaDiva, whoa... that is a humongo pear and it looks beautiful on you! More info, please!

Feb2003, I really think you will be thrilled with that combination. Until last month, I wore a 2mm plat solitaire Tiffany-style e-ring with a 3.5mm plat band. I recently upgraded (for my 10th anniv) to a dainty diamond eternity set, which I wear on either side of my original wedding band. I love, love, love my new set-- but sometimes I wish I would have had a thin eternity band as my wedding band so that I could have gotten a matching band for the 10th anniv to wear on either side of the plain plat e-ring. I agree that it makes the diamond pop (more so, I think, than my current diamond band. It''s just under 2mm, so it''s quite dainty but when you look at the e-ring, you see the center stone with a lot of other sparkle rather than just a sparkly center stone.

When I upgraded, I decided to get the e-ring changed to match the anniversary band so I could wear them on either side of my plain wedding band. It''s a nice look-- even with the diamond on the front band and not the middle one.

I always like the look of my wedding band on its own, when I am at the gym or just to dress down a bit. You''ll be happy with your decision, I''m sure.

Hello everyone, thanks for the compliments.

My ring size is 5.5 while my pear is 3.22 ct. It is a J colour, VVS1. I think the proportions are 1.5 to 1. I don''t remember the rest as I''m in the office now. My bands are 2.5mm each.

I''m hoping to change my pear to a better colour and am working with my jeweller on this. Hopefully this will be accomplished in the next few months. I never thought I was colour sensitive but after I started wearing my pear, I realised that I am! It looks yellowish in certain lighting on the tip but otherwise, it''s actually a beautiful stone.

I''m a terrible photographer. Those shots were actually taken by my co-worker. Let me work on my husband to take some more for me this weekend.
