Hello all,

thought I would just share my small collection of Artcarved weddings bands..Since I purchased a vintage one off ebay a couple months ago and fell in love, I have decided to grab any cute ones that catch my eye. I am not married yet, so I just wear them as RHR's, stacking rings, on a thin chain, etc.
If I see something else vintage thats really cute I'll probably buy it, but I've bought just AC so far, as I love their styles and are great quality

I have three news ones, and one more is supposed to be in the mail. They're all 14k gold.
I know its likely boring for some ppl, but I find it a fun and (reasonably) cheap way to feed my addiction, lol..


This first one is kinda the plainest..

This next one is something I've wanted for ages, and I got it for a song..plain YG band with milgrain edges.
It does need resizing though (badly) - or if I'm feeling generous I may keep it large for Fi

And this last one if my new fave..not even sure what to call it, lol..
I wasn't 100% about it from the pics, but I *love* it IRL.
This band is brand new, and even came with the A.C leather pouch and care/warranty card (not that its much good to me in Oz, lol)..

It fits perfectly on my RH ring finger, and even though its quite heavy (8gms ), it's sooo comfy I forget I'm wearing it.
I would definately recommend this for a mens' w-band too.

Its friday night here, so I'm staying up late on the 'puter with some wine

Thankyou for your comment on my av,member asudesigner is the best with these things! They also did one for me that rotates through the different pics of that stone, but I thought it may possibly induce fits, lol!

Hey up, thankyou
They are fun aren't they? I am infatuated with bands at the moment...I was also considering have a small gem mounted onto one of them, maybe semi-bezel..gotta love options right?
The best thing is, I've paid ~$150 for the new one, but all the rest were less than $50. Ahh, the thrill of the hunt!

It was a decent night.. thank goodness no major violent incidents.. Today is surprisingly my Friday and its actually Friday! lol I have one day off tomorrow and then run into the new shift. I'm happy that hubby got his hours changed because we'll be able to carpool three days and have two days off together. :) Yay for quality time! That makes time for jewelry window shopping! lol

I love 'em!  I confess to a wedding band fetish myself, LOL!  The simple or carved bands strike a nostalgic chord in me; and seem to be the iconic symbol of marriage.

Thankyou everyone for your comments, I'm glad you enjoy them too.

Up - exactly! I have an ethical habit

Jewelerman, I know its a sickness, lol. You Must post pics of your extensive collection of, well, everything! Do you have Paint or some other basic photo program? You just need to resize to under 100kb and give it a unique filename (as in, not "ring" ). Please do when you have the time, I would love to seee!


Hi Addy, yes - too easy! It seems I just search on ebay once a week and there's always something new. You are very welcome to share any pics here if you feel like it..


Hi again SDL - nice to hear you and DH get some time together now. I can imagine in your work that may be a rare luxury? And yes, a lil windowshopping never hurts, right?!

Hey Dandi, Ha thankyou! I know, its hard to choose.


Hello Holly - thankyou Hon. Pls feel free to post pics of yours here too if you wish.

Better, thanks sweets!

I'm going to take some photos soon. Mine are all plat or white gold. I love your yellow gold ones--I'd like some yellow bands and rose gold too! I have too many wants at the moment. Don'tcha love getting packages in the mail? I need more packages!!

Hello and thankyou MC and AG.
MC, I just fell in love with the quality and variety offered by AC. I'm pretty sure once I get married I will choose one to have as my "proper" band...but I'm gonna make sure I've got a couple options !

Thats good to hear. Can't be damaging your pretty bling displayers, now can we?

I'd love to see your pics. I'd also like to own some in white metals, so far just haven't found much. I also like YG as its not as popular, so the listings seem to not get as much attention..

Oooo, I wonder if AC does RG? uh-oh!

I *love* receiving the packages! There's nothing better than having a rough day at work, and coming home to a new package of jewellery to cheer you up. The other day I had 2 delivered on the same day, and its usually my Fi who is there to receive them - he was all like "how many b***dy packages can you have in one day!?" (but only in jest of course).
I just have to remind him they're cheap...Plus it helps that a couple are his size, so I catch him trying them on aswell

I'll have to photograph the new one later this week.

I just discovered and bookmarked a site to share with you, AJ (and, of course, with the other people who were sharing stackable bands they found on Etsy).  Now I am wondering if what I found is this site!  I will have to go look!
