I wonder if nobody openly criticises me because its not my actual engagment ring that I am changing. I still have that ring and its hugely sentimental to me. I do still wear it.
I probably would have gone with a bezel or something modern (jeff cooper).Date: 8/14/2008 12:58:28 AM

Oh I feel a slight hijacksies coming on ...
As am I. I''m like a ring stalker of your ring & a few others around here! (WestJenn''s ring is very close to my first e-ring love.)
So, out of idle bleary-eyed work-avoiding curiosity ... what *would* you have chosen yourself? Sigh. I can''t think of anything more lovely ... excepting perhaps a certain Deco-ish e-ring of which I''m quite fond myself.
ETA: Of course its natural to crush on other people''s rings & new styles as you discover them. Practically though there are just countless things in life that we can love & want & are ''so us'' but not enough time & $$$ to actually OWN most of them.

Seriously, I see rings on here all the time that I really love, but, I love mine most, because it's ME, and that's why I don't feel any need to change it. All you need to do is think about what setting says 'you'. If it's what you have, great, you're done. If you realize it's something else (but no cheating), then change it, after you've sat on it a bit. Not literally though.
Well thank you Angeline, I''m glad I could help!Date: 8/14/2008 7:08:05 PM

I think this is one of the wisest things I have read on PS. As a chronic resetter (and stone changer!) myself, you''ve just helped me to decide what I want. Also what someone else said about it fitting your lifestyle etc.
To the OP, I think you should get what you *want*. The trick is sorting out what that is!

Just be sure to show me what I helped you get.
I think that''s a good idea. And just another opinion from someone who had an eternity band....I wouldn''t do it, not for everyday e-ring wear....maybe in a band I could take off when I wanted. My originaly e-ring had eternity, and I actually didn''t specify that I wanted it that way, the designer just chose that for me. Anyways, I really did love it at first, but I was constantly paranoid about hitting the ring and losing stones etc...it just wasn''t practical. I was also worried about sizing issues further down the road. So I had the setting re-done to only partial eternity. Also, I just made sure my ring fit well so there isn''t lots of spinning to reveal the non-diamond side. I''m really glad that I got rid of the eternity.Date: 8/13/2008 12:07:25 PM

Thanks! I needed to hear some sense. I am leaving my setting alone. I do love it, I do! I just loved hers too and thought maybe, but it''s silly. I will just focus on my wedding band now.

All shall be revealed! Seriously, I keep applying what you said to all the many and varied settings I love and I keep coming back to just one!
Yay!
