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.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing." Kahlil Gibran |

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 let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing."

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. ![]() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing."

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.

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.

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 ! ![]() ![]() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing."

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! Deborah
