Please show me your >2 ring set?

[zhuzhu]

I would love to see those of you who wear more than 2 rings on the ring finger. I think some of us call the middle band "spacer", but some call the set "ring guard look".

What is the advantage of having a spacer and do you like it?

Thanks!

This thread contains pics of my recently purchased "spacer"band...which helps prevent the diamaonds on my 5 stone band from eating away at the cup shape head on my solitaire. I like it sometimes...other times I only wear the diamond band and solitaire. I find the spacer sometimes takes away from the beauty of my five stone band! If you are worried about damaging your ring, it's a good idea.

Thank you Beau!
That is the exactly idea I have in mind. I have a sentimental family platinum ring that I would love to wear as a spacer. Other than protecting against the rubbing of the 2 rings, I think it also helps to give the wedding band a "bigger view" instead of the "hidden view" next to my ering.

I don''t have a spacer band I just wanted to say that you ladies both have some gorgeous rings!

Hi there zhuzhu, here is a pic of my set, during the day I wear all three but when night comes I take off the channel set band, cause first thing the in am my fingers of course are bloated to smitherines. Then after they come down I slide the channel set band back on. I kinda realy like the idea. I got the spacer band idea from Beau, cause I love her set.

Thanks for the kind words ladies!
I love wearing more than 2 rings (my solitaire with 2 different bands).Here is another different look (taken when my solitaire was set in a 4 prong setting this past summer)

 

[kmcq]

Oh Beau13... I absolutley LOVE your set!

 

[beau13]

Thanks, kmcq and crickett.
I love how versatile the e-ring is..as you can see I have had many different bands..and I like to mix them up to create different looks depending on my mood! LOVE stacking different bands!

Beau: Lovely set! Who makes the "spacer" ring in your set? LOVELY!

 

[js_diamond]

LOVE your set! I eventually want a middle band like the one you have to go with a classic eternity band. Very nice.

Here's a blurry pic of mine. To answer your questions:

1. What is the advantage?
The diamonds in my wedding band were starting to eat into the basket of my e-ring. I tend to be overly-sentimental about my e-ring and didn't want to cause any unnecessary damage, even if it was superficial, so I went on a quest for a thin, vintage (1920's) french-cut sapphire band in platinum to add to the set. I really wanted for the spacer to be meaningful (sapphire = married in September. French cut = engaged in France, etc.) and this one did the trick.

2. Do I like it?
I do, though I feel like my set is too busy. I plan to get other thin eternity bands in the future so I can mix it up a little. The spacer serves its purpose, though, and that is what is most important for me.

ETA: Zhuzhu, I really love the new baguette eternity!

NEL--I love your rings!

The sapphire band is really lovely--how many mm is it? Have you ever considered an antique super thin engraved spacer? Could give you another option.

In any case, I think your rings are perfect in ANY combo!

Thanks, Coati, that means a lot coming from a woman who has such gorgeous rings herself! My goal is to do exactly what you have done and have a collection of many bands that I can mix and match or stack.

ETA: I forgot to answer your question, I would LOVE a thin platinum engraved spacer and have been looking around for one for several months. The trouble is that I wear an 8 and would prefer not to size one if possible...I've put the hunt on the back burner for a bit when we decided to buy an additional vehicle, but I'm hoping a bargain might pop up sometime. I WILL have one someday, it just might take a little time.

Beau: Lovely set! Who makes the ''spacer'' ring in your set? LOVELY!

Hey Snow..I don''t know who makes it. It was another lovely E-bay find (about $ 22). It''s vintage/antique, very narrow..with a pattern on sides (profile). I didn''t want to spend a whole lot..wasn''t sure if I''d like the look or not.

Right now I''m a-hunting for antique engraved super thin bands to wear with my JM reset. He made me one band, but I think it would be fun to stack some old pieces with it. Your set reminds me of Reese Witherspoon''s set from when she was married to Ryan Phillipe--I adore the look!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Here is my set. The spacer band is 2-2.5mm knife edge band. I purchased it because the diamonds in the band were eating away at my prongs. I actually like the look of just the knife edge band with my e-ring, but it is always nice to have more sparkle!

Please excuse the lifeless picture. My pear is so hard to get a good picture of inside the house with this poor lighting, but (as you can see from the snowy background) it is cold outside, and I am not going out there!

 

[zhuzhu]

Wow, your beautiful ring sets have totally sold me on the idea of spacer band. Lucky for me I already do have 2-3 bands that I can use for that purpose. I will post pictures of these combination in a day or 2!

Thanks ladies! Love your rings!

 

[chiquitapet]

Beautiful sets everyone! I love >2 ring sets.

I wore a 2mm spacer band between my e-ring and wedding ring for a while (attached pic), but then I tried the combo with my 5-stone anniversary ring that I used to wear as RHR (without spacer band) and really liked the look. So I have been wearing it like that for a few months now (avatar).

 

[mommy2iz]

i have several stackables that i switch out....here''s one option

 

[mommy2iz]

with sapphire stackable

 

[MMT]

I have a plain 2mm spacer band and I love it. It keeps the diamonds from rubbing on the 2 rings and it makes the rings pop a bit more.

 

[sugarplum]

nice sets, ladies! do any of you ever feel like your circulation is slightly restricted when wearing three rings? or feel like it''s too tight or heavy (especially platinum wearers)?

 

[chiquitapet]

Sugar, my circulation seems fine. My rings are all slightly different sizes. The top one (e-ring) is the smallest, and the bottom anniversary ring is the largest (just because it was sized to be an RHR, and worked out to be slightly larger than my wedding set).

 

[justjulia]

I like the three together because I have this thing about rings being stuck over my huge knuckles--the third ring keeps everything from spinning (and protects the eternity) while at the same time I know I can get them off easily. Funny how a little extra width keeps everything still.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

I wear my set like this quite often with my tiny baguette bands.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

With a couple of little rainbows.

 

[Circe]

Lauren, that is such a marvelous look!

I wear mine mixed and matched all the time: I alternate the eternities with the wedding band (on days when I pair another ring with the e-ring, the wedding band goes on the right hand), and I stack them in different combinations. This is how I''ve been wearing them most recently ....

 

[ladymentha]

I think wearing a spacer is a very good idea plus it also looks good!
