During the summer sometimes my anniversary band doesn't fit too well so recently I decided I would get another band to wear on those warm days. I wanted something different than my normal band so I decided to look at sapphire diamond bands. My solitaire is YG and most of the rings I found were WG so I ended up buying a .21 ctw sapphire diamond band in WG. The ones I ruled out had bigger carat weight or were more decorative bands; I decided against them because they would either scratch my solitaire band, they were too wide or took away from the diamond. I eventually decided to get this band and left it to be sized. When it showed up in the mail on Wednesday I put it on and soon found I didn't really like it all that well with my solitaire. The difference in metal colors was more noticeable than I thought it would be and while it didn't look bad it wasn't really something I wanted to wear with my solitaire.

So I was debating about going back and trying on some of the YG bands again when I decided to try it with one of my WG sapphire RHR. I think it looks great with it so I'll probably just keep the new band now. I can have a sapphire wedding set if I want to just wear something different and of course I can always wear these as a RHR.

I have to agree the band looks better with the RHR WG. I do like the band though, very pretty :)
 
The band is nice and versatile between the other 2 rings.. Congrats, you made a good purchase
 
Very pretty band and it looks really great with the RHR!!

Totally agree. It looks great with your RHR.
 
Definitely looks the best with your RHR. Sometimes different colors mix well - sometimes not. At least you have an alternative - and the new band is very pretty!!
 
Beautiful!
 
pretty! Where's it from?
 
Your new band is lovely. I love all of your blueberry-blue sapphires. You surprised me with white gold. Good for you! (I've got both too and I love having options)!
 
Thank you everyone.

Snooper, I was very happy it looked so good with my RHR.

Mitsui4, I like having rings I can switch around.

Thanks Diamondrnglover, Amys Bling and Centralsquare.

MissGotRocks, I thought the YG and WG looked pretty good together at first but it sure didn’t suit me when I got it home. I could return or exchange the band but I am sure I’ll wear it with my RHR.

Motownmama, thank you. I got it at the Shane Company. They have some YG bands with pink sapphires. I may try one of them on the next time I visit the store. I am not adverse to pink sapphires either. They also have some diamond scattered bands.

Gemgirl, I love that shade of blue sapphire too. I think blue sapphires look great in WG and yes it’s fun to have options.
 
love it! :twirl:
 
I love your new band with the sapphire RHR - it's nice to have another e-ring + w-band :love: set when you're in the mood to add some color!
 
Thank you Catwalk and PintoBean.

PintoBean, I actually have thought of having a WG or sapphire wedding set - now I do. It's nice to be able to change things out or add some color.
 
really pretty band! I think it looks great with your RHR.

also your upgrade is just gorgeous :)
 
Thank you Sig. When we got my upgrade we must have tried on 3 dozen anniversary bands before we both found one that looked good with the solitaire and didn't take away from the diamond. I think that is more my problem than the WG. I know I'll wear it with the sapphire RHR a lot. That is one of my favorite rings.
 
I think this Sapphire set is very pretty, it's so fun to have another option to suit the weather (or your mood)! Enjoy :wavey:
 
marcy, it looks fantastic with both rings! I've tried on those alternating channel set sapphires more than a few times, and really really someday would like to have one! what a great ring to alternate with and love the pop of color. Looks beautiful on you!
 
Thank you LucyLoo. I really like sapphires so it will be fun to have a CS wedding set.

Thank you D&T. I hope you get a gemstone and diamond band some day too. The pink sapphires were bright enough to add color which kind of surprised me because I thought they might blend or be pale.
 
Very pretty! I love it with your colored stone!
 
Thank you TyTy333. It's a nice bright blue. I like the color better on this than I do my traditional blue sapphire which is a royal blue.
 
happy anniversary, beautiful! :love:
 
Looks great with your sapphire ring! It's nice to be able to switch it up whenever you feel like wearing something different.
 
Marcy your new band is just gorgeous and the sapphires have fantastic color! I too prefer it with your sapphire ring and think that makes a great set. You have such beautiful rings!!!
 
I love it with the RHR too! TDF!!! :cheeky: :love:
 
Thank you, Skippy.

Thank you, Stargurl. I enjoy wearing different rings even with my ering.

Thank you, Sundial. Sooner or later I am going to have to turn in my ering to be sized so I will have a nice blue wedding set to wear for a few days.

Gem Anemone, thank you. I appreciate it.

I honestly think I really like my normal anniversary band so much it’s hard to find something else that I like with my ering. It gives me an excuse to buy something new. :naughty:
 
HI:

Well done Marcy!

cheers--Sharon
 
I think your new band looks stunning with your sapphire soliatire.

But in fact, setting my original yg solitaire with a sapphire is at the top of my wishlist, to go with my 5th anni. sapphire band, so I just might be a little biased on the combo...but your rings are still beautiful!
 
Thank you, Sharon.

Thank you KaeKae. Great idea to set your original solitaire with a sapphire especially to go with your pretty sapphire band. I love sapphires. :appl:
 
L :love: vely new band!! Beautiful Blues!!!! :love: :love:
