Please help me choose an eternity or choose not to at all!

[hathalove]

First let me say I am new to this site so if this isn't the appropriate place please forgive me Also I have been married for 12 years and recently went from a thick pressure setting 3.5mm? and 4mm wedding band to a halo with plain shank 1.5mm at top to 2.5mm bottom with a 1.5mm plain wedding band. I am loving the change and delicate nature of the new look. However, I am toying with the idea of getting an eternity band to place maybe between the two. My center stone is small at .43 points and the halo are .01 pointers total of .14.
Will try to attach a picture. Do I leave the rings alone as is? Or do you have an eternity style ring that you think would totally enhance the look without over powering its delicate nature.

I am loving the art deco bands on here with and without milligrain. I was also seriously going to pull the trigger on the danielle bezel jazz band on whiteflash. Or do I do just a plain diamond eternity pave? pronged? pointer size? etc... I was thinking to add a ring for texture. Even though the shank and band are really thin often times they press together and look like a bigger band with small diamond?

PLEASE HELP...literally drives me crazy day and night. Just need to make a decision!

Here is webdiva's that I liked and hope she doesn't mind. Also posted a copy of the pic of the Danielle jazz bezel.

I would get a thin micropave the same width as your plain and your e-ring shank and wear the plain band between the ering and diamond band.

I wear the Danielle band between my solitaire and plain band, and I think it looks great. I don't know how it would look with a halo, though. However, if you love the Danielle, I say go for it. Your ring reminds me of the Guinevere from Whiteflash, a favorite of mine, and I think a shared prong, bead-set, or channel set might look more 'matchy' with your halo. Any one of these:

You could contact Whiteflash and see if they could take a photo of the Guinevere or similar halo/plain shank style with the Danielle and some other options and see which one you like the best!

Don't mind at all! Thank you!

I like the idea of adding interest with a non-matchy and non-pave band. You could even stack something like mine with a thin micropave band and your wedding band for more fun! The more, the merrier! There are a bunch of stacker threads to get more ideas. Someone just got the marquis and round LOGR and it looks super cute!

Thank you rubybeth for all the suggestions. When I am at my computer I will check out the links more closely. I should have mentioned budget..lol Not a very big one. I would say max $800 for something I loved and was %100 about. Really would like it to be more around $500 which I know might not be realistic. Also I know the halo is very noticeable in pictures and up close like that. But when I reach my hand out it looks kinda like a solitaire (hopeful thinking) I could not afford to upgrade the stone so just made a setting change. Thats why seeing all these stacks on here I thought the danielle might work?

Webdiva~ I stumbled across your threads when I was searching deco bands and LOVED yours. Really did and almost bought it outright with the fb code and such. Plus cannot beat that price! Way more affordable. Anyway my hesitation was how long it took for you to get it and the delicacy concerns of your ring. So how has it been holding up? Is it still sparkly? Saw some complaints about the company, can't remember where but that just worried me. Also in an old post you mentioned going to 14k in beverly hills (to lazy to figure out 14 in roman numerals) and that a similar ring was $1200. Just curious is that the marked price or the 50% off quote they give in person. No one pays sticker price there. Oh and the width and thickness are both less than 2mm right? I really did think this was going to be it.

I really appreciate the time and suggestions. I have seen some amazing jewels so you all taking the time on my tiny situation fills me with gratitude!

couple crazy questions. Whiteflash uses better color that my diamond (H). If they put H diamonds in the rings does that reduce the price?
2nd.. would getting this possible eternity ring in rose gold be crazy? Or stick with the white gold?

btw I have one WG and RG pave eternity rings might be 1mm very thin, tiny tiny and a 1/2 size too big so I usually wear on my right hand. That might be why I am not super crazy about it with my wedding set? Just looking for refreshing set

Sorry! Just saw this! For 14 karats - that was the price quoted in the store in person.

My ring has held up really well, and one other PSer ordered it - so we'll see how hers holds up. I wear it everyday, but take it off to wash dishes, walk the dogs, work around the house, etc. The Diamonds still look great and the plating looks fine.It dimmed a bit from the bright white when I got it, but now it matches my ering. It's a great deal, you really can't beat the price. If you order a regular size (not half size), it seems it comes in faster. Good luck!

BTW - I don't have any LOGR but others on the board do and love them!

Hathalove, do you happen to have pictures of your original tension set ring?

Oh just saw this! I will check to see if I can dig something up after I get my son to sleep.

btw.. I ended up not getting anything. Not really in my budget right now! It is so easy to dream when looking at all these gorgeous rings on here!!!
