I am finally a married woman, well at least on my hand I am! Since I received my new VC Emilya halo I haven't gotten around to getting a wedding band. I posted a thread about what everyone was doing since at the time many people were getting the Harry Winston inspired halo. While it was helpful to see what others were doing, it didn't really provide many options.

Finally I did decide that after years of having a non matching set I would actually bit the bullet and get the matching eternity band. With this style ring I really feel that it has to match and be understated so the halo is the main focus. But I still wanted something blingy so an eternity was my final decision. Now the hard part. I was prepared to spend the several thousands of dollars I knew that a hand forged ring would be. I wasn't thrilled about it, but I was on that path. Then everything was blown out of the water as I fell in love with an OEC and decided that was my project for this year, my very own 3 stone. So my eternity band was shelved. I told DH I would continue to look engaged for a bit longer.
So right smack in the middle of deciding I wouldn't pursue a wedding band I saw that there was an eternity band up for sale on the preloved forum. It looked strangely familiar to a set of eternity bands that I had previously seen on JbEG but didn't have the funds at the time to spring for. Apparently the bands had been separated and now one was back up for sale. The price was incredible and though it was a quarter size too big I thought what the heck.
And honestly I'm totally blown away.
Just looking at the rings you would NEVER know that they weren't purchased together as one complete set. If I strain my eyes closely I can tell the eternity band is slightly thinner (1.8mm) vs. my Emilya (1.9mm). I have gotten so many compliments since I started to wear it...and of course DH is thrilled that I'm "married again." I also did end up buying the mate to my eternity and had it in my possession for about 3 hours but decided to return it. My finger size and knuckles just don't work for stacking more than my current set. I was hoping to wear the 2 eternity’s, a spacer and then my halo, but it didn't work out. If anyone wants to be my eternity twin, I know the other ring is back up for sale on the pre-loved forum with the original owner.
Ok so Stats:
Emilya Halo:
2.04ct RB
PLAT
Eternity ring:
18kt White Gold
.42 cts. (G-H Color, VS/SI Clarity)
I know you are not suppose to mix metals, so I do wear a 1mm PLAT spacer between the two bands which is not pictured. Eventually I will upgrad my eternity to PLAT, but for right now I'm not concerned about anything wearing down.

So that will just add to the mix!
