My entire band collection—so far. I am limited by my giant size 8 finger and my very tiny jewelry budget. My dream band is a french cut diamond eternity, or sapphire, or another colored stone. 4E181E92-2FCE-4B6F-A8D0-7B2666720D92.jpeg790648
 
Perfect timing...I just cleaned mine!
My wedding band is a custom BGD dream band. 20210603_211746.jpg
And next we have my beautiful LM eternity anniversary band Kismet, preloved from the lovely @mrs-b 20210603_211801.jpg
And I have a 3mm plain platinum band from Costco that I love too! I just don't have it with me right now.
So, I have 3 bands, all platinum and I love them all! 20210603_211830.jpg
 
Here’s mine...

Stunning @mrs-b !! The channel set princess and (sapphire?) is lovely! How do you manage to keep your gypsy ring so shiny and polished?
 
This is my MIL’s wedding band. She wore it for several years after my FIL passed. I didn’t dream of asking for the set but she gifted them to us a little after we were married. So I usually wear it on my middle finger, and wear the plain gold band I was actually married with on my ring finger.89BA27FF-4834-44E0-990A-65E0DB5C197D.jpeg

And a bonus shot with my husband’s matching band.

Ooh and I forgot I have another band from my MIL! She made this a long time ago but doesn’t really wear rose gold so now it’s mine

I don't have many photos of just the bands but here's what I have showing some of my bands. Sorry but Bubbalah (and my black opal plus another ring) is in some of these pics too.

One of my very first bands with my old cut ER. A simple engraved platinum band from the 1930s.

2 more of Greg's WBs. Wearing on one hand just for a funny pic. He generally only wears one at a time :lol:

I have many more bands but most of them are away in my safe in NY because for the most part I wear Bubbalah by herself these days.

My original wedding band is a platinum shared eternity band and when I traded my original ER for an old cut diamond I took the setting from the original ER and made another shared eternity band from it. So I have 2 shared prong diamond eternity rings (I don't wear them ever though as they just don't look right with my OEC IMO). I don't have a photo of that but here is the original ER and the original band. Now I have 2 diamond eternity bands from the original set.

Orange blossom hexagonal band in platinum from the 1940s (I think).

When DH and I married we chose not to have wedding bands and instead we tied a ribbon in a knot (from the Celtic hand fastening ceremony). Then I decided I would like a wedding band after all! This ring belonged to my gran and had been in a drawer for 30+ years. But it was big enough to fit my thumb and sizing was problematic because of the engraving and hexagon type shape. On the third attempt I found a jeweler who suggested removing one entire section and that worked. I do feel a bit bad because now the ring is so small it is unlikely to fit anyone else (my daughter's fingers are larger than mine) but at least it is being worn.

You had one job ;)
 
You had one job ;-)

:lol:
My only excuse is I haven’t been home for over a year now. So I’m separated from most of my bands so had to use old photos. I’m trying though and I wanted to participate in your thread. :)
 
I only have one with Sapphire and diamonds, given to me by my mum when I was about 11/12yo, my first "adult" jewellery.

I thought I had lost it, and it was found amongst my belongings when I cleared out my garage after having moved into my house for 14y!

It only fits my pinky nowadays.

Not sure if the second ring as seen in the pic counts as a band.

DK :))
 

@diamondringlover - Could you tell us the stats on your diamond band - the one in this post and also in your profile photo?

I'd love to know the size of the diamonds and any other information you might have - and if you have any photos of it on your hand from front on, that would be wonderful! I'm planning on doing one myself and am looking for inspiration.

Many thanks!
 
It’s still dark but I had these old photos on my phone.

Details on your two tone one, please?

Thank you! That ring is Tiffany’s with rose gold and platinum. The band is 2 mm. My husband got it for me a few years ago for my birthday if irc. He had them add engraving to the inside.
