Yep! I decided to go with the shared prong eternity band. I was on the fence and this was FI''s preference. PLUS I feel like I could get a small matching band down the road for pretty cheap, so it is more possible to get that as a "gift" than a big blingy eternity band!!Date: 3/6/2008 11:49:51 AM

Hi Octoberbride. I don''t have any pictures of those rings but I was just curious- does this mean you have picked a wedding band? I havent been around as much and I know before you were not sure which kind of band you were going to get. 2 ct eternity sounds good though! Good luck.
Ooohh! I likey!! It does look quite large, but I have a size 6 finger so it should look a bit smaller on me. Mine uses 10 pointers I think...Date: 3/6/2008 12:10:52 PM

Hey October!!
I paged you the other day in DH, but I guess you didnt see the thread.....I was asking you about your w-band...Did you decide to go with ERD or Facets (or someone else) for it? I was just curious..
Yes, I know, I really owe you guys pics of my rings. I also want to take some new pics of my e-ring for all of you. MH said he will help me as soon as his grad school work winds down. PROMISE!!!![]()

Hi October,
I ended up getting what I think is called a 1/2 eternity? It has 11 stones. They are tiny, I guess- maybe .03 each ? I really love it though and I did not love the matching band to my ring. I sometimes wear them toghether and sometimes separate, as I worry that the band will rub the diamonds on the side of my ering? Do you plan on wearing them together and do you worry about any scratching? Congrats on your new purchase!![]()

I can't wait to see them - I'm sure the band with your beautiful ering will be stunning!
I decided to go with ERD for a few reasons. First off, Mark is amazing. He is so accommodating and easy to work with. Second, his quote was amazing. I shopped around to make sure it was what I wanted and his price was outstanding. Thirdly, I emailed Facets about whether or not they could make me what I wanted and they never wrote back. PLUS the one I had my eye on was gone, and from the sounds of it they have stopped producing white gold rings.
I will have the ring in a week or so (a friend of mine is picking it up for me on his holiday) and will post a tonne of pics I promise!!
I did end up going with the basket setting too - it wasn't custom (probably Adwar), so it was more reasonable than I expected. Can't wait!!
Well my friend is picking it up on Saturday, but is on a week long holiday in California. So I should have it not next week, but the one after that.Date: 3/7/2008 7:45:22 AM

HA, HA!!! Im sorry...I really feel bad I left you guys hanging when it came to the pics, but the truth is (and its embarassing to say it) is that I am so not computer/anything tech savvy...its really pathetic!!! I always need MH''s help!!!!
I am SOOO excited for you- you are going to have a gorgeous eternity band!!! Lucky girl! I am glad you are working with Mark. He is great, isnt he? We purchased my e-ring from him too...hope to work with him again in the future (sometime soon!) when we work on the
upgrade!! Ha!
So, what are the specs on the band? How big are the stones? Did you end up getting WG or plat? I''m sorry for being so nosey and asking so many questions, but I am really interested b/c I am researching 1 yr anni gifts!!!! I am SOOOO bad!!!! But seriously, an eternity band is next on my jewelry wish-list...I end up wearing just my w-bands (stacked) more than I wear my whole wedding set anyway!!!! So, it would totally be great to have a blingy e-band, ya know????
So, when do you get it?? Sooo happy for you!!!!

It is 2.23 tcw, G colour, VS clarity in 18K wg setting. Since it wasn''t going to sit next to my platinum ring, I figured I should save the money and put it into TCWIt is MUCH larger than I expected!! I think it will still look great and not too overpowering or anything. I can''t wait! I don''t know how I''ll wait until October to wear it full time! (Oh and the stones are likely 10 pointers each - 22 stones/2.23 total. That''s 10 pointers right?)
I''m not sure how wide that makes it though...
My camera is already charged in anticipation of the photoshoot that will come![]()
Hey Dani! Yep it came in the low 2k range. I hope you get one too!Date: 3/7/2008 10:45:52 AM

Ohhh, my, that sounds so exciting!!! Can I ask you approx. how much this ring set you back (ballpark $$ figure)? Wanting to know how much realistically we have to save up....lol....That size e-band is almost exactly what I am looking for, and I cant wait to see the pics, b/c you and I have the same finger size, so I will really get an idea of how it will look on me too...YAY!!!!

Yeah I thought so too! Seriously - I compared a few different places and Mark was just so great and reasonable. We''ll see when I get it but I''m sure it will be amazing!Date: 3/7/2008 11:14:29 AM

Thanks so much! That is reasonable. I wonder how much it would be in platinum, although I would probably get WG too b/c I wouldnt wear it with my EC e-ring....and more $$ to put towards the bling, just like you said!!!And I would definitely work with Mark too on this project.....heart him!!!![]()
