Band Lover''s Paradise

[MaryAlaina]

While I was in the photographing mood, thought I''d get out my bands and take a few pictures. (I excluded any yellow gold and silver ones.) As you know, I love bands and mixing and matching. I have most of them sized to wear on either ring finger.

From the top down:
Pink diamond 1/2 eternity in rose gold
Diamonds in wide knife edge in platinum
Tiffany knife edge in platinum
Tiffany platinum Lucida band
Tiffany sapphires eternity in platinum
Carre diamond eternity in platinum
Tiffany Legacy diamond eternity in platinum
Channel set diamonds eternity in white gold
Trellis set diamond 5 stone in white gold
Shared prong diamond eternity in white gold
Scattered diamond eternity in platinum
Michael B. Lace lookalike diamond eternity in white gold
Bar set diamond eternity in platinum

You need a Cartier trinity ring

I almost got one last month when I visited a Cartier store, but I decided I really didn''t like how the plain tri-gold one looked on me. The diamond ones looked much better but were more than I wanted to spend. I ended up finding a vendor who sold the tri-gold ones with bead set diamonds. However, when they polished up the ring to send to me, 2 of the stones fell out! They didn''t notice it before shipping. While they let me return it with no problem, I ended up deciding the trinity was not for me and decided to order the Champaigne pave band from WF instead. That one is here, but I haven''t seen it in person yet because it''s my Christmas gift!

 

[HollyS]

Okay. I was merely feeling a bit green about you. Now I hate you.

And you're getting another for Christmas???!!

Well, you have to; I count 13 there, and that's just unlucky!
I just looked in the mirror. . . I am the color of pea soup!

Haa haa, me too! So jealous over here!!! The versatility of bands is just wonderful... there must be endless combinations... I would love to have a collection like that one day!

Thanks for taking the pics!

 

[Rock Candy]

You go girl!!! I love each and every one of your bands! What a fantastic collection! Do you have a favorite?

 

[bebe]

Oh, how fun!

MA, you must show us some us your mix and matches.
I would be in heaven playing with those and also
trying to figure what to buy next to mix in!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

OH MY GOSH!!! They are ALL so pretty, I cannot pick one that is my favorite! I am so jealous!!

 

[louisvgirl]

Great shot!

Love your bands, what versatility.

 

[DiamanteBlu]

So you have just a couple!

They are gorgeous! Love the pics!

 

[lyra]

Fantastic! I''d love to have that much versatility.

I don''t think my DH would go for it though.

 

[Fly Girl]

Wonderful collection. Thanks for sharing.

How many of those do you wear at one time on an average day? In any case, there are lots more variations out there, so methinks that you are not done collecting yet.

I actually forgot to include one! I keep my rings in this box, and have certain rows I use for bands, and one (baguettes in white gold) was in the wrong row, and I didn''t even realize it until later! Oh well. I know I need to do a separate post with yellow gold, and then for engagement style rings, but I''m supposed to be studying right now!

Hmmm....I don''t know that I do. Kind of depends on what I''m wearing (clothes and other jewelry), but I do really love the Tiffany Legacy and the WF scattered diamond bands. When I want simplicity though, hard to beat either the Tiffany knife edge or Lucida bands. Of course the bar set 3.20 ct. band is good for when I want to look more blingy, and the smaller ones are good for stacking. Ok, you see how this goes???
