I have fairly short and squat fingers. There is actually an unobtrusive 1mm spacer normally worn with these by the e-ring whenever it's with another ring but it's too tight in this heat. I don't want to look like the eccentric widow who wears all her jewelery at once. Do tell (and be frank) what is the best look to maximize both bling and elegance?
 
Need pics, Kelpie!
 
Grrrr. My computer decided to restart for updates. Pics forthcoming.

Sigh, Kelpie, your engagement ring is still one of the most beautiful I have EVER seen!

I like it in all combos - the ER is substantial enough to still hold it's own with all your bands. It also helps that all your bands are pretty delicate. I am not a huge fan of all four together, but it still looks good. I'd like to see the ER with just the two skinny French cut bands, too.
 
Pancake, you're the sweetest! Just for you options 6 and 7..feels like I'm cheating on my wedding band!

Hi There!

I voted for option 3 but then I saw option 6 (wo the wedding band, sorry :cry: ) and I really love it that way! Looks beautiful.
 
Your engagement ring is soooooooooo beautiful and I just love the way it looks with your french cuts :love: :love: :love:
 
LOVE option 3 the best. The sapphire band is gorgeous, but I feel like my eye goes naturally to it when its stacked with the other rings, so I would rather wear that on the right hand. Dont want to take away from your amazing e-ring and that gorgeous rose cut band.
LOVE IT!!! :love:
 
I like option 1 (by itself) and option 3 best! But all of the options are lovely and all of the rings are lovely, even if not worn with the e-ring.

What color is your diamond? I love that it looks different in almost every picture. I LOVE your e-ring.
 
Thank you Pancake, Titian, Hospatogi, Dani, and Mrswahs! The third way is the popular consensus and my favorite too. I actually had the bands first and picked out the setting because I thought all three looked marvelous together (single stone had a very similar OEC in that setting already for me to try on). I really adore the look of the e-ring alone as well and have been wearing it that way a lot. It is so hot in Africa it's not always comfy to wear multiple rings.

Mrswahs- My stone doesn't have a report but the appraiser called it an L. It was sold to me as M on ebay so it's somewhere in the buttery zone. :)
 
Love love love option 3. All the options are beautiful and worthy but #3 is my favorite. Love your e-ring, love the sapphire band.
 
OMG, your ering is gorgeous! I have not seen it before...is there a thread on it???
 
Option 3 here too...they seem to compliment your STUNNING e-ring without detracting from it. Thanks for the eyecandy too! :wavey:

Your Ering holds its own - definitely no worries about it getting lost! And the differences in widths and colours and stone types adds delineation - super thin, thick, blue, rose/french - makes sure it doesn't look overwhelmingly uniform.

Gotta say, I'm not usually a fan of tons of stackers but I'm loving yours like this!
 
I prefer option 2 or 3 and I'm with pancake...your ring is one of my favs!
 
Go all out! I love that each ring is distinctly different, and they all look so great together. As with my stack, I imagine that it looks even better in person than it does in pictures. My ering seems to get a little lost in pics, but it holds its own in real life! Love love love all your rings together!
 
well I love your ering :love: :love: and you have so many great bands to stack with!

IMO your finger is not long enough to wear ALL of the bands together (it's just not my favorite look...sorry) but I really like options 3 and 6. But the nice thing is that you can switch it up!
 
I would move your e-ring to your right hand and then stack all of the bands on your left hand. The e-ring is so, so beautiful alone and I love lots of stacking bands together. :love:
 
I think option 3 is BEAUTIFUL and classic! I would wear the sapphire band on the right hand, it's gorgeous as a stand alone ring (although they ALL are.)
 
Oooh! More Kelpie eye candy! My all time favorite is def option 3. Then comes 6 and 7. I'm always scouring ebay for the great deals that you find.
 
Mmmmmm. I do love your ring- both the stone and the setting are to die for!

Personally, I like it solo best. I admit am biased though- I wear my antique e-rings alone mostly, as they were designed to be worn that way back in the day. While your setting is a new one, it is a (fabulous) repro of an antique style, so I think it looks most appropriate to it's design when worn alone. And it makes that amazing stone pop the most IMO. So, I'd wear it alone, then stack your bands on your other hand. (Whichever!)
 
I like OPTION 6 the best *personally*. The thin bands really flatter your e-ring and the pop of color is zesty/unique.
 
Kelpie, for me, the more you stack band, the more I forgot your fantastic ring. It's true I'm a classic girl but 2 band is enough for me. OMG! This ring is TDF!
 
I just came back to drool, don't mind me.. :oops:
 
Kelpie, first off, let me just say that I think your ering and diamond are to-die-for. They are simply stunning. I, like many of the others, prefer option 3 as I find myself drawn to your ering which is the star of the show. With the blue band, I find myself distracted by the colour (although...what a fabulous distraction to have) and see your e-ring second. You have an incredibly beautiful selection of bands and so you really can't go wrong with any combination. :bigsmile:
 
I can never get enough of your e-ring- it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing :love: :love: :love:

I think option #3 is the most striking without looking like the woman you described wearing all her jewelry at once. If these lovelies were mine, that's how I'd wear them the majority of the time but on some days I'd wear all the bands together and no e-ring (or e-ring on right hand) and some days I'd switch out the thin band and add the blue.

They are all so so so gorgeous!
 
I think my first choice would be the amazing e-ring with the thinner diamond band. That e-ring just doesn't need anything to distract attention from it!
