wedding band came in today!

[NewEnglandLady]

After I ordered my band I started to have these serious doubts--I THOUGHT I ordered a prong set half eternity with 7 point RB stones and a couple of days after placing the order I started to think that the stones were too big for my e-ring and thought I should have gone with the 3/4 or full. I just figured that when the ring came in, if I didn''t like it, I''d have them change it a little.
So when it arrived today I didn''t expect to love it, but I do!!! As it turns out, the stones are 6 pointers (my mistake) and I think they are a good size. Also, I''ve been wearing the ring for about an hour and I can tell that if I''d gone with a 3/4 or full, it would be a little uncomfortable. I still have several days to decide if I want to change anything, but I think I''ll keep it as is!!

I''m just so relieved that it''s in and I love it!

I just went and picked it up on my lunch break (I''m at work), so I plan to take pics and post them as soon as I get home. I need some honest opinions as to how it looks together.

When I tried on the full eternity bands (with 7 point stones), I noticed that the diamonds and/or prongs dug into the inside of my other fingers--my pinky and middle fingers--especially when I picked things up. The jeweller thought I was a weirdo, but I literally put on the band and picked up my laptop bag to see how it felt and it hurt a little. I ordered teh half eternity for that reason and I can still barely feel a little bit of scraping when I type or pick something up. It''s much better than the full eternity and I assume I''ll get used to it after a few days, but I definitely notice it.

A good friend of mine has a pave setting with 3 point stones that is a full eternity and she said that they are small enough to where she doesn''t feel them at all.

The setting is just a typical prong setting. The stones are too small to do a u-shaped setting (so pretty). Also, the jeweller set the band really low because my e-ring is in a basket setting with a low profile. I''m pleased with how it turned out. Now we need to order the plain platinum bands!

I agree with NewEnglandLady. When I tried on a shared prong full eternity at the store, the ones with bigger stones (5 or 6 pointers) were really scratchy and uncomfortable. But the smaller ones, 3 pointers, were much better. I like the look of full etrernity, so I think I will get the smaller one with 3 pointers.
