Today I got my rings polished and sized down and they look so pretty, I had to take some pictures and share! :)) I've lost 50 pounds over the last 9 months and my finger size went from a 7.5 to a 5.5 for my engagement ring and a 6 for my wedding band! This is the diamond and e-ring setting that I keep going back and forth over keeping or changing. I'm not gonna lie, having them polished, looking new again, and my diamond looks clean again and a GOOD size (smaller finger and proper ring size?), I'm leaning towards keeping the diamond and setting (unless we hit the jackpot :cheeky: ) and for my 10th anniversary early next year, getting a diamond anniversary band (or two!) to wear with it?

Also, I'd like opinions on the plain band. IRL, I feel like it's a hair too thin, that maybe a 2.5mm or 3mm would be better. But then looking at the photos, I think the 2mm looks quite nice with it! And it's super comfy, which is a MUST for me.

I apologize for the craptastic photos ;)) My digital camera broke so these were taken with my iphone.

Anyway, thanks for looking and any opinions are great! :wavey:

Wanted to add. for those who don't know, my diamond is a .80 carat, Triple EX GIA, I color, SI2 (eye clean). :))

Perfect, perfect, perfect!!!!!!!!!! I just love your set. I also think your wedding band is perfect- I wouldn't get a thicker one, especially if you want to add an anniversary band!
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

Looking great! Congrats on the weight loss too - I'm envious/inspired?! Your wedding band is PERFECT w/the ering. I wouldn't want it a hair more narrow or wider. AT ALL. ENJOY!!!!!

:appl: :appl: :appl:

Thank you so much Lewood! Honestly, if I get a diamond anniversary band(s) I probabyl won't wear my plain band with the solitaire AND diamond bands. The plain band would get worn by itself or with the solitaire. :)) Thank you for the kind words!!

Aw, thanks Deco! I'm not gonna lie- when I saw that you had replied I thought "Oh no, I'm about to get a dose of RealityDeco!" and a good "talking to" about my changing my rings ;)) but then I saw your sweet post, which means a lot to me! Thank you so much for the congrats on the weight loss. I have 5 more pounds to lose and these are proving to be the hardest! I couldn't have done it without myfitnesspal.com and just plain old exercise. If I can lose weight, anyone can. :)) Thank you again for the sweet post! :twirl:
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

I think your set is PERFECT as is!! The diamond size looks great on you and I would stick with your current band. Congrats on the weight loss :appl:

(Love your nail polish, btw!)
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

That set is so classically beautiful, I wouldn't change a thing. Pop an eternity band along with it and it will all mesh seamlessly.

A big congratulations on your weight loss - very well done! I bet it's nice to have a smaller ring size now too, you've gotten the visual impact of a bigger diamond without changing a thing. :bigsmile:
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

Big congrats on the weight loss, I am on the same journey and its long and hard so GOOD FOR YOU!!

And your set looks just perfect as it is. Really. I 100% like this set the best of all the ones you have had!
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

Looks perfect! Congrats on the weight loss. Probably the best/healthiest way to "upgrade" the diamond "size," for those of us who have this wiggle room to start with ::)
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

It looks gorgeous!! I love it! :love:
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

Girl your ring looks amazing! I'm jealous. :cheeky: My .98 doesn't look anywhere near that big on me. I think your set is perfect! A 7 stone diamond band would be fun for special occasions too. Maybe 10 pointers?

Congrats on the weight loss!
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

I think that your set looks perfect! Very timeless and classic! :love: I can totally understand wanting the anniversary bands though and I think it will be a fantastic way to switch up your set! Congrats on the weight loss! That's an amazing accomplishment! :appl:
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

it looks perfect on you!!! congrats on the weightloss. :)
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

It looks so new and shiny! I think the band is just perfect with your e-ring.

Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

HUGE CONGRATS on the weight loss!!! :appl: :appl: :appl: That was a great accomplishment :appl:
And your set is gorgeous...Very classic and elegant :appl:
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

Your set looks fab and your stone looks huge on your svelte finger! :love: I would also keep it as is but get a seven stone anniversary band.

Thinks for including the myfitnesspal link. I already surfed over there to check it out and am signing up. I haved gained 40lbs in the last 4 years between opening & running my retail store and getting lyphedema in my legs :nono: I used to hit the gym 4-5 times a week but now with no time and my physical limitations I completely stopped going :(sad

I have been lurking here & posting a bit for the year seeking/obsessing about an upgrade for my 15 yr anniversary and have put off making any decision on buying a ring because I want to lose weight first so I won't have to deal with resizing. I dream of VC or SK settings so really want to wait until I reach my weight loss goal.

I just want to say you have inspired me Feb03! Congratulations to you on one heck of a great accomplishment! :appl:
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

Classic and beautiful!!!!
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

Congratulations on your weight loss! 50lbs is a great achievement! :appl: I'm on the weight loss journey too so I am inspired by your success.

As for your rings... they look beautiful!
 
Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

I think your set is totally perfect as it is and your hands are gorgeous! Congrats on the weight loss!

Re: My rings were polished & sized- had to share some pics!

Your ring looks amazing on your beautiful hand!! I love your set as is but I think getting a diamond band (or 2) for your 10th anniversary can give you more choices depending on your mood.
Congratulations on your weight loss and your "new" outlook on your ER!!!! Classic and lovely! :love:
