pics of katiedid''s SP bands (channel and prong)

[katiedid]

Ok here is the prong set with my ering...

 

[katiedid]

my camera battery just died--I''ll post the channel set later! sorry!

 

[kgwen]

Very pretty!! it looks similar to my set with the prong set. even if it sits a little higher than your e-ring, i think it still goes perfectly. good luck!

 

[cinnamon013]

More pics! Give the specs of the two different rings. What is the tcw of each? Close ups! I am very interested to see what you think about the bands you received from Facets and which you are leaning toward.

 

[snlee]

Looks beautiful! I can''t wait to see more pictures. Close ups too please!

 

[katiedid]

Ok, let me try to attach some more shots! Here is the channel set. For both rings, in my size, the total carat weight would be around .75. Stones would be 2.4 or 2.5 pts each.

prong set again

oops

By themselves, I prefer the shared prong. With your e-ring, I prefer the channel set. The height difference would bug me too!
I could also picture an etoile style ring looking great with your e-ring.

one more

W/your ering the channel looks much better.

 

[Diamond*Dana]

I agree, I like the channel set with your e-ring.

 

[iheartscience]

I vote channel set as well! It just goes so perfectly! But maybe you can have both so you can switch it up!

 

[BigDiamonds]

Channel set! I totally thought i was going to like the prongs, but the channel looks great with your e-ring!

 

[snlee]

You know I love shared prong bands but I have to agree, the channel set band goes perfectly with your ering!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Oh I think both are beautiful! Tough choice (but a fun problem to have).

 

[katiedid]

You know what I''ve decided? Hubby and I went to look at shared prongs tonight and we both agreed that the BEST route to go is to send everything back to SP and have WF make me a shared prong eternity band that will sit just right with my legato and won''t rub it. I''ve asked Lesley to call me in the morning. I know we''ll love the WF band--I''ve been very impressed with their workmanship and customer service, and this way, everything will come from one place. They can make my band and resize my ering for me and I''ll be done!

But I do hate that you guys are all liking the channel set better! In person, it looks busy and distracting next to my ering. Oh well! I really do appreciate everyone''s feedback. It''s given me lots to think about!

They both look good for different reasons. The channel metal matches the ering metal (very sophisticated), but the shared prong gives that "princess" feel that everyone likes. It will be interesting to see how they match the heights in the end. I expect it will be very pretty.

My thoughts EXACTLY!!!

I know I''m chiming in a little late, but I think you made a great decision as I liked the shared prong band more! I know that the channel set is more matchy matchy, but I think the combo of a beautiful solitaire and a shared prong band is outstanding! PLUS you get the benefit of the great stand-alone band!

Congrats!

THRITTO!!! I have to agree - I''m a sucker for shared prong bands...and I LOVE the one you have, but the channel looks better with the ering.

 

[surfgirl]

The channel set goes the best with your ering. It doesn''t overpower it, just compliments it in a timeless, elegant, classic way. The shared prong, while I love the style, it overpowers the ering. It would look lovely alone or as a RHR, but the channel set looks more elegant with your ering. Enjoy!

 

[katiedid]

Really--I don''t think it overpowers it at all--it seems like a much more understated look than the more bulky, metally channel set. Hmmmm

Hi Katiedid...

When I look at your e-ring with the shared prong, my eyes are immediately drawn to the shared prong eternity ring . They look beautiful together, its just that your e-ring doesn''t pop out (the eternity band does). When I look at the picture of the e-ring with the channel set eternity band, I see two rings that look like they belong together (Neither one trumps the other and they both take center stage).

What look do you prefer? That''s all that matters- they are both lovely.

 

[suzi]

I hope I''m not too late, but I wanted to chime in for the channel set ring. I have both a prong set eternity band, and a channel. I like both, but the channel setting looks better IMO, and it''s more practical and comfortable. With your ering, I actually like the way the channel setting looks better than the prong setting. Both look nice, but the channel setting just looks more fluid to me.

 

[cinnamon013]

I vote for shared prong

It looks like you are Cinderella with that ring combination! I love, love, love it!

 

[katiedid]

thanks to all of you for your feedback - I really do appreciate it!!
