What band(s) do you covet?

musey Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,155 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 9/30/2006	As some of you know, I'm currently debating between what's "safe" and what looks amazing/unique in my wedding band search. So in the spirit of uniqueness, what wedding band(s) do you absolutely love, but probably would never buy/wear for whatever reason? Doesn't match, too unconventional-looking OR not timeless enough, etc. Pictures, please!

This was a band that sold way over estimate at Sotheby's in 4/06 [It is, therefore, not mine! Snarl! ]. I love it and plan to have one made [ETA: Oops, I didn't read your whole question! Sorry.

BigDiamonds Ideal Rock Total Posts: 699 Last Post: 9/27/2009 Member Since: 3/29/2007	There is not a band out there that I wouldn't wear, at least on my right hand. There are lots that don't go with my e-ring, however. I would love an asscher eternity, like canuk-gal's, or maybe a Beverly K. I also LOVE the Tiffany Bubbles ring, which I have on my wishlist for a RHR some day!

I read it wrong, too. I would totally wear any of these. I can't think of a band I wouldn't wear.

monarch64 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 9,544 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 8/12/2005	I can never decide if I would wear this as a wedding band or on my RH at all...when DH and I were choosing wedding bands I really wanted something floral/antique-y/vintage-looking, but our jeweler talked me out of that option and into a simple band of princess cuts in plat. His rationale was that the band I ended up with would never go out of style because vintage was really "in" right now but wouldn't always be. Another case of "if I had known then what I know now," I guess. I really love the mixed-metal color look, aka rose gold, yellow gold, white gold together, but I don't know that I'd love it so much after wearing it for a few months. I still covet anything that looks similar to this Beverly K. ring, or anything by Simon g., or Kirk Kara. Yummmm. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."

indecisive Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,066 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 12/9/2005	I really, really want this french cut baguette band. Did I mention I really want it? I think it would look awesome with my ring but I was worried about how it would hold up with every day wear. I have a Ritani Endless love band for my future wedding ring and I think someday I will get this band for an anniversary. At least that is my plan! and in action next to Kristy Darlings gorgeous ring

HollyS Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,098 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 7/18/2007	www.ogi-ltd.com/collection_diamond_2.php Any of these: 046V-8WA5 087V-PAS 5241-8WA 353V-PA15 447-8WALS The site won't let me download the pictures; you'll have to go to OGI to see them. I have a 3/4 eternity with RBs, milgraining, and engraving. I'd love to get a companion band; I really love the full eternity with baguettes, with the same milgrain and engraved details. Wouldn't the diamond sapphire 3-row ring or the 2-row diamond ring be great as a RHR?! _____________________________ "I cannot live without books." - Thomas Jefferson

Octavia Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,454 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 10/29/2007	I can't post the links or photos either because the website won't let me, but I covet: Christopher Designs #N19R and/or #N19R-2CUSH. http://www.christopherdesigns.com/ --> Collections --> Rings --> Bands --> Wedding & Anniversary --> 8th and 9th bands to the right. Ritani #23026BPCRP-611. It's under their wedding bands about halfway through, the description says "Platinum with bezel set princess diamonds surrounded by micropave' set diamonds .65ctw. Available in various diamond weights." I really really like bands to the point where I might prefer one to a more traditional e-ring setting when the time comes, and these three have been favorites of mine for a looong time.
