I am beyond excited!!
I just posted last October that my hubby got me a new setting w/ anniversary ring for our 12th anniversary. Well, after only a few short months, the bands were getting seriously chipped, dinged, scratched etc. and well, that's what we get for going to the discount jewelry store, I guess?
And while that lovely solitaire thrilled me for awhile, I really miss the side bling and while I've had 3 wedding sets over the years, the only one that I felt was truly "me" ended up causing an allergic reaction (how I learned I was allergic to nickel. LOL) and the other sets were based a lot on price.
So now we're expecting our 5th child and our local jeweler (a very reputable one) held his annual semi-mount event today, so between Mother's Day and the upcoming birth, we decided to go in and find yet another set, and this should hopefully be my last.
The good thing is that it's totally me! Antique, migraine, just enough sparkle, feminine, etc. The matching band was actually custom made to match.
Anyway.....it's so versatile and I can't even remember what the total carat is, but I know that all the diamonds are bright white and it's lovely!
I have three choices: The e-ring w/ the matching band, which is GORGEOUS!!! But not sure if it's suitable for everyday wear. I always like to keep a plain band for when I'm out doing lots of heavy work, out shopping with the children, etc. BTW the matching diamond band even looks lovely on its own! So I thought I could wear it on my right hand, if I decide to wear the e-ring with a plain band. Sometimes I think a plain band can help bring out the sparkle of diamonds. But sometimes it doesn't.
Anyway, three choices: e-ring w/ matching band.
e-ring with a plain 2.5 mm band.
e-ring with a 3 mm band (yes there does seem to be a difference).
Here are pics:
I can only post 4 pics, so I'll just post those for the poll. I'll try to add on the detail shots of the e-ring soon.
