Oh that's a beautiful set! Even though it's all non-matching it still looks nicely proportionate when put together!

Where do the girdles on your eternity ring hit against on the engagement ring? I'll express a note of caution if they rub against metal as they will slowly eat away at it... Which sounds very alarming I know so sorry for saying it but would rather warn so you can see if that's going to be an issue ... Was it an issue with your last ring or not at all?

Your new set looks very elegant but fun and sparkly at the same time. Your hands do not look 30 years married either! Enjoy them in good health

@lydial
What a wonderful compliment!! Our hands age faster than other parts. Haha!!! I did my best to cut out the age spots. Thank you for all the nice words. Great community here!!

@Lykame
I will look at that concern. I appreciate you mentioning it. This is such a smart and well experienced group!! I’m taking the rings in next week to be sized. When I put them together, they are too tight. I was afraid of that!! My previous ring was one ring, and not very wide.

Gorgeous set!!! But I'm with @Lykame, you need a spacer. Aside from the eternity girdles cutting into the metals, the possible girdle on girdle action would give me SERIOUS anxiety!

Here’s a side view. What’s a spacer? Help

Your new rings are just so pretty! Congrats on them and the anniversary. Wear them in health and happiness for many years to come!

@CareBear
What are my options if I don’t want a spacer? Would raising the setting on the e ring fix the problem? Thanks for your words of wisdom!!

Happy anniversary! to die for ring, it's super beautiful! your rings together must BLIND people. I like B2C very much also. They were the first PS vendor I bought from. Your rings are a total hit run.

It would only be possible if the setting had a donut, the head was high enough, and the eternity band had much smaller stones. But I'm afraid with your set it would not be possible to avoid girdle contact without a spacer.
Another member had this issue.

Thank you @Tekate So nice of you!!
@CareBear
That was an awesome, very detailed thread you linked. Thank you!!!! Great info for anyone designing a similar wedding set. Can you say, looking at my pictures, how wide a spacer would need to be? Without changing anything else? Thank you!

My wife have stop wearing her 5 stone ring along with her E-ring for that reason. I think it still makes contact even if she use her 2mm spacer ring between the 2 rings.

 

[diamondnewbieny]

Love your diamond and ring! Btw I love your nail polish!

 

[MK Malone]

@diamondnewbieny Thank you so much. And nails are Nexgen 109.
@Dancing Fire That is very disappointing.

 

[msop04]

Thank you all!! @mrs-b I wear a 7.5.
@Lykame I will post additional pics for you later today. Thank you for showing the love!! @Matthews1127 I love B2C!! I’m surprised there aren’t plenty of reviews here. They have been so kind, so patient, so eager to please. I received both diamonds very quickly, within 4-5 days of order date. When I returned the first diamond (pictured in diamond comparison video above, Diamond on the left), they mailed out my refund check within 48 hours and provided tracking. They kept in touch with me until the refund was received. I can’t say enough nice things. Very trustworthy and reliable.

Stunning!!!! I agree with @mrs-b about it looking HUGE!! My 3.33 I has very similar specs and is 9.8 mm -- and yours STILL looks larger than mine on my 4.75 finger!! What gives???!! LOL

...but, for real, what in the world??!!

ETA: I think what we see may not be exactly what others see... DSS and all.

 

[SandyinAnaheim]

Holy mackerel @MK Malone! Now THAT is a ROCK!! Congratulations on your 30th anniversary and your new rings. I had the same issue @Lykame and @CareBear are warning about, my diamonds all scratched each other due to a design flaw. Even though the problem was fixed promptly by my vendor, I take absolutely no chances and use a thin diamond spacer now. I really wouldn't risk it if I were you....you want those beauties to stay perfect for the next 30.

 

[apacherose]

Well, this is a stunning ring and I love it. Thank you for the videos in different lighting , I enjoy them!

Enjoy this gorgeous sparkler!!! Wear in good health.

 

[MK Malone]

@msop04 I agree with you. I don’t think we see what others see. And how do these diamonds shrink on our fingers so fast!! Thank you for your sweet compliments!!

@SandyinAnaheim thank you sweet lady!! Please tell me more about your spacer!! Pics too if available. I’m going back to the jeweler on June 4.

@apacherose thank you!! And I have been obsessed with video and pics of diamonds for the past 3 months. Constantly on youtube!!

 

[mermaid]

Your ring is stunning! And the WOW does it look BIG! Enjoy!

 

[SandyinAnaheim]

@SandyinAnaheim thank you sweet lady!! Please tell me more about your spacer!! Pics too if available. I’m going back to the jeweler on June 4.

You're welcome!! I've got a gazillion pictures, but I think a video shows it best. I tried to upload it, and shrank it, but it won't load. The spacer protects my rings from each other, while being delicately beautiful itself. The stones on the spacer are E/F VS and I got the ring on Etsy.

 

[MK Malone]

@SandyinAnaheim
I too had trouble loading videos here, but Vimeo worked so well!! I like your spacer and it looks like it works very well and is pretty!! Thank you for sharing!!

 

[MK Malone]

I’ve attached a video of the side profile of the 5 stone ring inquestion. Are the girdles exposed? I can’t tell but I am hoping they are covered by gold so that I don’t have to worry about damage to the prongs of the e ring. Thanks for looking!!

Well just for a moment let's ignore girdle issues and appreciate how awesome and sparkly that ring is!

To be honest it's not easy to tell from that video but my instinct looking at that style of setting is that they will be. Are you able to take some photos of the ring lengthways? That might be more telling.

 

[MK Malone]

@Lykame Nice PS peep!!
Here is more video and a pic. Thanks!!

Such a beautiful ring. Honestly wow. It's so sparkly.

I strongly suspect based on the setting that the girdles of those diamonds are at risk of rubbing against metal. If you rub your nail against the edges can you feel the girdle under your fingernail?

You may wish to consider a very slim spacer. Some people solder their rings together so that the girdles cannot rub but that's obviously a very permanent solution that would mean never separating the rings.

@Lykame @CareBear

Here’s a side view. What’s a spacer? Help

Okay apologies I missed this picture. Your band is definitely going to rub against your engagement ring. A spacer is a very thin band of metal that pushes your diamond band away from your ring. Some people have curved spacers.

This is a very nice thread of spacers.
This is another useful thread.

Hope that helps?
