Circe Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,850 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 4/26/2007	Well, I don't think I'd ever go thick (that's one of the things that scares me away from doing more than admiring some of the gorgeous carat-heavy eternities I see on here ... the certainty that it would drive me nuts to be able to feel the ring spreading my fingers apart), but I'd definitely go WIDE. Maybe towards something like the Tiffany Bubbles ring, or to some of the gorgeous Sasha Primak designs. Alternately, I might start out with a lovely band of channel-set princesses or baguettes, and look forward to stacking fun for anniversaries ... Signed Pieces has some lovely classics along these lines.

CalBearsFan Rough Rock Total Posts: 80 Last Post: 3/10/2009 Member Since: 4/15/2008	I'd stack a couple of thin wedding bands. I know that wasn't one of your options but that's what I'd do so that I could get best of both worlds. Wear one on the days I want thin but stack on days I want a thicker look

gemgirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,538 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 2/8/2003	I absolutely LOVE that Mark Morrell eternity, but if I were going to wear a band and only that one band every day....... I'd chose a five or seven stone band. I think they're more practical for everyday. That's just my opinion, for what it's worth. I have a five stone, a seven stone and a platinum eternity, and even though it's diamonds and platinum, I'm more conscious of not harming the stones on the bottom of my eternity band when I grab things or pick things up (even door knobs! you never know). The shanks of either of my shared prong bands can always be polished and brought back to perfect condition again.

lauralu Ideal Rock Total Posts: 689 Last Post: 11/11/2009 Member Since: 7/20/2007	Liz I bet your Niwaka is super comfy as well? Looks beautiful. Something comfy would be very important. I wonder how comfy a larger eternity band or a how durable a pave or even a wider pave set band would be for everyday wear.... So far so good, keep the ideas coming..:)

liz Rough Rock Total Posts: 84 Last Post: 3/13/2009 Member Since: 12/13/2002	Yes, my Niwaka band is extremely comfortable. All their rings are comfort fit. What I really like about their bands is that many seem to be designed for solo wear. They have beautiful his/hers matching bands too.

fiery Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,143 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 5/18/2008	I would go with a thick, very blingy band. There's a woman at my job that has this ring that I absolutely love. She and her fiance are both divorced with children so they just fell into calling each other husband/wife although he never really proposed. He bought her the band a few years ago and its beautiful. This past Christmas he proposed with a beautiful 3 stone (after 8 years together) and guess what...she still wears the band on her left and hardly ever wears her 3 stone. Go figure!! Anyways, if I were doing one ring alone, I would get something like Cushioncut's pave band (I hope she doesn't mind me posting her picture!!). It's beautiful and perfect as a ring alone. As a matter of fact, I'm seriously considering getting one similar anyway to wear when I travel.

Elmorton Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,750 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 7/6/2007	Right now I'm sporting a 4mm band. I love the weight of it - but my w-band/e-ring together are about 6mm, so something 2mm alone on my finger just feels strange - my wband is 1.7mm, so sometimes I do stack it with another thin band and that feels (and looks) fine. I'd go with something in the 3mm-4mm range.

TanDogMom Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,932 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 11/8/2005	geckodani, those are super cool! I can't believe I have missed those, as I am always looking at the natural sapphire company! Did you happen to get price quotes and if so do you mind sharing? Lauralu, to answer your question I personally would go for a 3mm or 4mm eternity or half eternity band or diamonds. I like that width on my hand. Either that or a 4mm etoile style ring. Or, an ornate BeverleyK style band (either thick or medium-thin, I like both). Or a 5 stone like KCoursolle's. Those are my favorite standalone wedding bands!

Isabelle Ideal Rock Total Posts: 811 Last Post: 5/28/2009 Member Since: 2/15/2008	Maybe a gorgeous custom stacking combination of three thin different, but complimentary celebration rings. That would look really sophisticated and understated.

I love the swoopy setting. I couldn't ever have anything that fancy as my actual wedding ring though, I'm too tough on my hands.

It was around 2k at I believe 3 carats? I forget...I'll check the email when I get home tonight if you like.

mercoledi Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,667 Last Post: 10/5/2009 Member Since: 6/20/2006	The "light blue" sapphires were 3K, princesses were about 2.5 for a size 6. I'm surprised white sapphires are that much cheaper; I'll have to keep that in mind... I can't wait for a PSer to get one of these to see IRL photos! It's so similar the Sasha Primak trellis band.
