I hate being in the minority, but I''ll have to agree with DD. I love the idea of one or two thin platinum bands or possibly thin pave bands. But like DD, my personal preference leans toward more simple and elegant than super blingy.Date: 3/18/2008 11:16:23 PM

I''m sorry, please don''t hate me, this is only my opinion, but since you wanted them I will say that I am not crazy about them together. Iyour e-ring and I kinda think the band does detract from it''s bling power a little. I wonder if perhaps two low profile, simple platinum bands, one on either side of your e-ring, would look good? It would add symmetry and also let your e-ring be the star!![]()
But that''s just my personal taste, I am a simple sorta gal! The rings are lovely and if you like the look (and lots of others here totally seem to love it too!!) then keep it and wear that bling with pride!

Don''t despair! I feel your pain, it is so frustrating when things aren''t EXACTLY what you want!! If you aren''t totally loving the look of your rings, it really doesn''t matter that others think they are hot stuff (and your rings are hot stuff! I am only commenting because you still don''t seem totally enthralled with them...). I can see the dilemma with such an amazing and eye-catching e-ring, what do you pair with it? I really do love the e-ringDate: 3/20/2008 8:48:53 AM

Thanks for your honest response. I did try on some other diamond bands, but didn''t think anything but the shared prong looked like it when with it. Thats why I started w/the 2 ct. I really didn''t want it to look like I was just going for the bling. That band just got lost, kind of looked like a after thought. Now I am worried that the 3 ct is to much.
I am beginning to think this is causing to much stress! Maybe I should take the money and apply it toward something else!
Again Thanks for you thoughts,

I like both pieces, together or separate...however, I would consider getting a very thin, inexpensive spacer ring...I think that would eliminate the feeling of seeing too much together.
Odd question, but have you tried looking at your hands in a mirror at some distance? Do you like how much sparkle you see, or does it seem too much? We are all looking at your rings the way that you would, up close....but a mirror would show how people a few feet away from you would see them,and might give you a different perspective on them.
yes, that thin little ring on the end is very close to what i had in mind, i think thats what you need and would look great! where did you find it? try it out. some are saying that wedding band is too much, i can see what they are saying, but like you said, its a completely different look. you dont always have to wear them togerther, but when you want major bling some days, then i think you got it! you are right, it IS nice to have your problems! you can alwasy keep looking for a nice etched or carved band (thicker than the spacer) to wear with that e ring on your non major bling days too. i like options. i dont think i would put two thin metal ones on each side thought. i just dont think it would look good. i would sooner just wear it as a stand alone.Date: 3/20/2008 8:39:32 AM

Okay, I did a search on spacer rings and found this. Do you think this would look okay w/them? Does anybody know if I can find these in stock anywhere?

ok cwj, here is the exact problem you are facing. because the "accent" diamonds on your ring are not really "accent" sized, they are larger, it gives your e ring a hard to match kind of situation in terms of a wedding ring. that natural tendancy for most eyes will be to want to look for a wedding ring with similar sized stones on it as your "accent" stones next to your big old diamond. the link to the eternity band you posted is a good price, but are those stones going to be the same size as the ones in your e ring? what are all the stone sizes you got going on there btw? it looks like if the ones in the eternity band you linked to are .14 each, they will be about 3.3 mm. that seems smaller than what you have in your e ring, but you tell me. your other problem, (not really but you know what i mean) is the beautiful work in the side of your e ring, that you should protect. if you want to stick with a band that has the same size stones in it as your e ring, like you have, then how about this spacer to protect them. heck of a price! http://www.jewelbasket.com/jbnnpaprika-white.htmlDate: 3/21/2008 10:16:56 AM

I would love to find one like that, thats not a custom so I can try it and return it if I don''t like it. If anybody sees something like that, let me know please.
Same song different verse: what do u think of this band? I know its the same size, weight and etc. Just not a basket,but it seems to be a great price.

You are wonderful, I love the first band. I don''t know what size a 2mm band is, but I have a old band that I have taken some pictures of with it in the middle. I think it is to thick for my finger.( goes to far up) I am posting some of it, let me know what u think. (I know I would need white)Date: 3/21/2008 12:06:00 PM

or if you want to do a metal band as a stand alone, how about thishttp://www.mickyroof.com/vcimg905/2004-3.jpg probably not in stock though![]()
or if yow want a non curved thicker metal band, how about this? http://www.antiquejewelrymall.com/r209p.html
if you like the bigger diamond wedding band, the i would measure everything and make sure you had the same sized stones in both wedding band and e ring, then use a spacer like the one in the first link.
