What band(s) do you covet?

[musey]

As some of you know, I'm currently debating between what's "safe" and what looks amazing/unique in my wedding band search.

So in the spirit of uniqueness, what wedding band(s) do you absolutely love, but probably would never buy/wear for whatever reason? Doesn't match, too unconventional-looking OR not timeless enough, etc.

Pictures, please!

Easy question to answer for me! This was a band that sold way over estimate at Sotheby's in 4/06 [It is, therefore, not mine! Snarl!

]. I love it and plan to have one made [ETA: Oops, I didn't read your whole question! Sorry. This band is one that I would absolutely wear so you can disregard my post as nonresponsive]:

 

[Hera]

I love your graduation ring and I covet the french cut rings from Singlestone. So scrumptious.

 

[BigDiamonds]

There is not a band out there that I wouldn''t wear, at least on my right hand. There are lots that don''t go with my e-ring, however. I would love an asscher eternity, like canuk-gal''s, or maybe a Beverly K. I also LOVE the Tiffany Bubbles ring, which I have on my wishlist for a RHR some day!

Something like this

ETA: Oh no! I read it wrong, too. I would totally wear any of these. I can't think of a band I wouldn't wear.

I can never decide if I would wear this as a wedding band or on my RH at all...when DH and I were choosing wedding bands I really wanted something floral/antique-y/vintage-looking, but our jeweler talked me out of that option and into a simple band of princess cuts in plat. His rationale was that the band I ended up with would never go out of style because vintage was really "in" right now but wouldn''t always be.

Another case of "if I had known then what I know now," I guess. I really love the mixed-metal color look, aka rose gold, yellow gold, white gold together, but I don''t know that I''d love it so much after wearing it for a few months. I still covet anything that looks similar to this Beverly K. ring, or anything by Simon g., or Kirk Kara. Yummmm.

 

[butterfly 17]

I love that simon g rose gold and white gold flower band, I don''t know the name of it and I also love that jean schlumberger (?) band with the 16 diamonds and the X''s. I forgot the name of it.

Bumping for more coveted bands...

 

[Skippy123]

The band I am coveting now is the Mont Blanc usual shape one; it is soooooo cool! It makes my heart beat faster each time I see it

 

[bee*]

Can I be greedy? I want three rings in one. It's the cartier trinity

 

[indecisive]

I really, really want this french cut baguette band. Did I mention I really want it? I think it would look awesome with my ring but I was worried about how it would hold up with every day wear

. I have a Ritani Endless love band for my future wedding ring and I think someday I will get this band for an anniversary. At least that is my plan

!

and in action next to Kristy Darlings gorgeous ring

Indecisive,

Where did you find that french cut baguette band, I love it?

Any of these:

046V-8WA5
087V-PAS
5241-8WA
353V-PA15
447-8WALS

The site won''t let me download the pictures; you''ll have to go to OGI to see them. I have a 3/4 eternity with RBs, milgraining, and engraving. I''d love to get a companion band; I really love the full eternity with baguettes, with the same milgrain and engraved details.

Wouldn''t the diamond sapphire 3-row ring or the 2-row diamond ring be great as a RHR?!

Indecisive,

Well, Kristy Darling and Wallermama found it in San Francisco I think but here it is online. They said in person it looks like a band carved out of diamonds

. I really need to win the lottery so I can afford all these gorgeous bands!

[Lill_The_Thrill]

Ah! I LOVELOVELOVE the Tiffany Etoile band, but it's so darn expensive for a 3-row pavé band...Excel has the replica for $5200

, the original is $7200...(not much of a difference in $, IMHO)...

Well, a girl can always dream...right?!

[musey]

IWPO, what''s the designer for those again? It''s right on the tip of my tongue... HATE when that happens!

 

[april diamonds]

Oooh, I got a bit carried away and made a whole collage of wedding bands that I want (are actually considering!) Not picture though is a standard 3 row pave ring...want one...just dunno if I''m gonna get one!

 

[bee*]

I love that Tiffany swing ring also

THANK you! Grr that was bugging me!

 

[tberube]

It''s neither practical NOR affordable in my position, but I love the EC eternity band....so yummyyy.....

 

[Octavia]

I can''t post the links or photos either because the website won''t let me, but I covet:

Christopher Designs #N19R and/or #N19R-2CUSH. http://www.christopherdesigns.com/ --> Collections --> Rings --> Bands --> Wedding & Anniversary --> 8th and 9th bands to the right.

Ritani #23026BPCRP-611. It''s under their wedding bands about halfway through, the description says "Platinum with bezel set princess diamonds surrounded by micropave'' set diamonds .65ctw. Available in various diamond weights."

I really really like bands to the point where I might prefer one to a more traditional e-ring setting when the time comes, and these three have been favorites of mine for a looong time.

 

[musey]

Octavia, in the process of looking for the ritani you linked, I found four NEW bands to be obsessed with.

First, the half-bezel "pinch" eternity band:

 

[musey]

Then, all three versions of the carved leaf + diamond "romantique" design:

and

AND, perhaps my favorite of the three:

(there was no video for this one

)

 

[musey]

I''ve looked at the Ritani collections at Bailey, Banks & Biddle several times, but I''ve never seen any of these!! I want to try them ON!

 

[Skippy123]

Here are the ones I was talking about.
