So my birthday is in the first week of November, and I thought I needed something sparkly this year. My hands are starting to swell a tiny bit with baby bloat, so I think I will need a "placeholder" ring soon. So I am looking for a band with colored stones of some kind.

I want something in silver (white gold or sterling), and fairly wide - I am thinking an 8 or 8 1/2 would be good. I am not picky about stone color, but blue would be nice since it will match more of my clothes I'm going to try and keep it around $100.

I am also not picky about where you find it - ebay is good and I don't care if it's kind of "cheap" since I likely won't be wearing it forever!

This is a wide band, and you could probably request to have more stones put in for more sparkle

MonkeyPie, I don't know your taste at all, but here are some ideas:

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23755294

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25230251 (not all that wide but so cute)

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25928529

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31540465

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21602442 (pink...)

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32578460 (can be set with a topaz)

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32693708 ( I really like this, but also not very wide)

I knew you guys would find better things than I was finding!

Deia, I LOVE the emerald cuts - that may have to be a right hand ring, LOL.

MTG, that first one is downright gorgeous. I love how it looks almost like water.

Novel, I may have to extend my budget a bit for that last one - so pretty!

I'm actually wondering how she would feel about popping a pear cut diamond in there

Oh, you're talking about the Etsy one! Yikes, thats really over. Sorry, I think I was taken by it and didn't notice. But I imagine if you provide the stone it would be less, right? It would be great with a pear cut diamond!
