A Benchmark Platinum Band to go with Tawn's ring!

tawn Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,311 Last Post: 9/17/2008 Member Since: 6/24/2003	I got the split shank ring with the plan that it would look like a set, and I could get away with wearing just one ring. It was sort of a good plan, but I didn't take into account the fact that I'm used to wearing a wedding band (11+yrs) and would totally miss it! Soooo...had to break my promise to my husband about not getting any more jewelry in the near future, and ordered a 2mm Platinum band from Benchmark to go with it! It's really hardly noticable, and doesn't take anything away from the diamond! But, I feel compete! For a little while... PS Made a collage so Blueroses wouldn't have to!!

I just knew you would be happy with your choice! It is fabulous. I really love you ring! The metal looks so fluid...yet the halo makes it more traditional. Best of both worlds. But wait! Now what I am going to do with a 2mm single band engagement ring? If you with that beautiful dual shank couldn't hold out longer than you did, I too won't be able to with a mini 2mm ONERINGER. The board is right...plan on a second ring. I so loved your story about the ride on the bike to get the ring. That would be the only way my hubby will ever get me on his again. After going 160mph down the center dotted white line (Oh at that speed there are no dots...it is one solid white blur) slicing through traffic...it is going to have be at least 5 carats. But I know if I had yours waiting, I could have done it too...(Just don't let that get out...5 carat minimum before I mount that monster again). Also, we vacation (I call it living) in your part of the woods...so I was picturing myself on the SD highway. I sorta was vicariously with you on that ride! I told my husband...life just isn't good enough for this chick...SD, La Jolla Cove, fish tacos, the Del...and now a gorgeous custom made halo diamond ring!! Some people!! Now you have to have MORE? Your new addition is lovely. Of course I am kidding you. But you can no longer be chairman of the ONERINGER society. We will have to ask you step down. How many days did you chair? Congrats on your latest addition. And, Hello. Door Knob

Patty Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,031 Last Post: 6/4/2008 Member Since: 12/7/2003	It looks great with your new ring, Tawn! My wedding ring is wide enough that I don't need to wear a wedding band with it, but I found myself wanting something more, so I added a 2mm band to wear with it. Sometimes you need that little wedding band to complete the look.

DiamondLil Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,405 Last Post: 6/1/2006 Member Since: 6/8/2003	I can totally relate to how you feel, Tawn. Your new band looks great with your split-shank. With it or without it, it looks great!!! My husband prefers the look of my split-shank on its own, but I prefer to have a wedding band with it. It looks fine by itself, but to me it looks more wedding-set-like with the band. DiamondLil ________________ "Diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs."

old-fashioned girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,621 Last Post: 10/31/2008 Member Since: 8/1/2005	Your ring looks gorgeous, with or without the wedding band! I love the smooth band of the rings. I am glad too, to be hearing comments on wearing the diamond ring without wedding band or with, as I am thinking of wearing my new ring (whenever I decide on it and get it! - resetting my original engagement diamond) alone, and wondered if others do it. I do have a spare wedding ring I can wear on my right hand, if I decide to do the e-ring alone on left hand. The Europeans wear their wedding rings on the right hand, so I figure that is my excuse!! :)

tawn Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,311 Last Post: 9/17/2008 Member Since: 6/24/2003	I actually thought I'd end up going for an eternity band down the road sometime, but I tried a few on with the ring and they look hideous?!! Boo Hoo! I thought I could be a "OneRinger" but I just couldn't do it! I think it's from being married too long, but maybe it would have worked out if I had started out that way!? I still can't take a good picture! Hard to capture the "sparkle"! Maybe I should try with my husbands camera! Thanks for the hand compliment! My toes are almost as long as my fingers!! (not joking!) My 12 yr-old's palms are already wider than mine. My hands are actually kinda big, just narrow and long! (sz 5.5) Oh, and the ring is from Benchmark! They have a cool lifetime warranty! They'll resize or even replace it if you outgrow it! Got it on sale too, very inexpensive and quick shipping! DKS...I live a mile or two from the "Del"! So, we have the "Strand" for the speed straight stretch! My husband actually made me buy gloves so I don't scratch his gas tank with my rings! He polishes that bike as much as I polish my ring! We're compulsive! LLLuxury...are you still coming to SD? Let me know when!

door knob solitaire Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,933 Last Post: 2/26/2008 Member Since: 6/27/2005	Tawn, The glove thing is too funny. I know about the polished tanks...my husband is also A. retentive about his cars. Glad yours and mine will get along so well...as the next time we come to Coronado, we'll skip the Del and just plan to stay with you. HA. HA. We just bought a house with a 1/4 mile driveway...he is having it constructed of concrete with a doted white line painted down the center. Would you ask your husband if this is equivalent to a mans bling upgrade? When will the madness stop? The taco place just north of the Del...oh man. Land at Lindberg...go directly there...takeout...eat on the promenade at the Del. We always say, "Can you believe it.. just three hours ago we were in grey dreary OK with a bowl of soagy grapenuts. Now were are eating this FRESH taco...in the sun...looking at the strand...It just doesn't get any better than this!" Question for you: Where do you vacation? I mean how much better can life get? Oh that's right you had to have ONE MORE RING! Now your satisifed. Next time we are there, I'll be looking at every woman on a bike...to see if it is you and your gloves...I'll know under the glove is Blingorama! Be sure to take an extra peek for me of the strand. DKS
