Asscher Eternity Band with Three Stone EC Ring???
| Asscher Eternity Band with Three Stone EC Ring??? |
|
I am having my emerald cut stone reset into a three stone ring with two smaller emerald cut stones and would like opinions about wedding band options. I have a 1.10 carat antique, platinum brilliant cut eternity band with single cut diamonds that I have been wearing for two years. It is a beautiful band however I would like to get a new eternity or diamond wedding band to go with my remounted EC. I love the look of the asscher cut eternity bands and also the vertical bagettes.
While I know it is a personal opinion, but please give me some feedback and/or pictures of asscher cut wedding bands and whether or not you think they would complement a three stone emerald cut ring. Facets (SP) has a nice channel set asscher cut eternity band that I am in love with!

I will try to post pics tomorrow. Unfortuantely the issue is that I''ve lost weight and the round eternity band is too large so I''ll have to wear it on my right hand. It''s still a beautiful band so regardless of what I do I''ll have to get a new wedding band. My EC is currently set in a three stone ring with two trilliant cut stones which looks nice but it doesn''t WOW me (hence the reset).

I too like the contrast of a delicate antiquy round stone band paired with the ECs.
Sorry this is such a bad picture, but this might give you some kind of vague idea of what an asscher band looks like next to an EC. (Keeping in mind that these stones are humongous  ). They belong to Didiamond.Obviously, the thing to do is wait until you get your ring, then beat a path to a jewelry store and try on everything to figure out what works best for you. Have fun!  widget

I agree with widget, wait till your ring is reset, and try all different types of eternity bands on to see what looks best with it. Congrats on the weight loss, and please post pics of your new 3 stone EC ering when you get it in SMTR!!!! Good luck!!! |

I agree with waiting til the e-ring is re-set so you can try out stuff rather than just imagine what it will look like.
I have an Asscher e-ring with channel-set baguette side stones and when I tried on all baquette eternity bands or emerald cut ones it just looked like too much step cut. Didn''t have that little extra sparkle or something to spice the whole thing up. One thing to look at when you get your three stone is eternity bands with alternating round brilliants & baguettes ... OR even princesses & baguettes ... I saw a GORGEOUS one with princesses & bags -- just adds a subtle sparkle while coordinating well because of the squareish shape.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I am definitely going to wait until the EC is in the remount to decide. I can always use the stones out of the antique eternity band and have them remounted into a new shared prong band in my new ring size (I''ve gone down two sizes in the past year and a half). If I do that, since it would be a custom made band, I would only have a 3/4 eternity band amde up which would allow for sizing in the future in case I starting gaining weight (ugh!). I like the idea of the baguette and round diamond band which adds just a bit of sparkle to the step cut stones. I saw a beautiful one on Facets website. All I know is that I''ve always wanted a three stone EC ring and I will be thrilled when it is finished regardless of what wedding band I end up choosing. I am really, really picky so I''d rather take my time deciding.
I''ll post pics when my new ring is finished as I know fellow PS''s love to see the finished product!

Hi NYPRincess,
Your ring sounds beautiful! I like the look of a step cut band with a step cut engagement ring. Here''s a pic of my asscher solitaire (I know it''s not a 3 stone) with my channel-set asscher wedding band, just to give you an idea of what it may look like ... I tried on some prong-set bands with my E-ring as well, but I found them to overwhelm the e-ring so I went with channel set, which is great and comfy for everyday wear. Just my 2 cents ...

Wow! Thanks for sharing your pics. I love the three stone asscher cut ring with an asscher band. Your diamond is stunning by itself but it would really be FAB if it was in a three stone mounting.
The antique round diamond band I was wearing with my current three stone ring is prong set and as much as I love it, the rubbing against the engagement ring caused some damage to the prongs and three stones fell out. I love the look of the prong set stones but the next band I get will be channel set for that reason. Also, I am very active and want to have a band that I don''t have to worry about checking every day. As of today, I am leaning towards the asscher cut band because I still love the look of a step cut band with a step cut ER. Someone suggested a band with alternating princess cut stones and rounds but I''m afraid that might look too busy. So many choices how will I ever decide? Knowing me, I''ll end up having several different bands and collecting them over time.

Hey NYPrincess...I have another option to consider...
One thing about asschers in bands: unless they''re pretty big (like Didiamond''s or Canuk-gal''s), I think their special ''asscherness'' can get lost in teeny stones. There''s another cut...which I''ve heard described as Carre, Square Step, or even square baguette...which might look great. Since this cut doesn''t have clipped corners hense no ''windmills'' it''s less busy looking. Just a thought!  Here''s a pic: (the ring is from www.nelsonrarities.com)
