Seeking Help with 10th Anniversary Eternity Band

Soon after starting a much needed kitchen remodel, DH mentioned that we have a big (10th) anniversary approaching. I told him that a new kitchen was an anniversary gift and more. A few weeks later he told me that the kitchen remodel was a property investment, not an anniversary gift, and said he wanted me to have an eternity band to go with my engagement reset of 2 years ago, so hesuggested I decide what I want. (Yay!) My dilemma… the anniversary is in 3 weeks and I am behind on finalizing the kitchen design while also swamped at work. I feel embarrassed to admit that I’m overwhelmed by the task of deciding on an eternity band. The minimal metal look of SK’s R0406 Mushroom Pave band and LM’s R5183 Stolen band compliment three stone settings like mine, but I am concerned about chipping (I’m Klutzy). Partial bezel settings are attractive to me and protect the stones, but I wonder if they will detract from my ER. I like channel settings, but am not fond of how they look with my ER. After trying on mall bands, I’ve found that 10-point stone bands overpower my ER while 5 pointers are too small. I suspect that 8-point stone bands will be best. Below are eternity bands I like along with a link to my ER reset posting. I am curious about other’s perspectives and/or recommendations of what would look good with my ER.

omg the kwiat one is stunning and your set would be so unique!
 
I couldnt get the first link of your reset to show up and dont want to suggest anything until I can see your ering.
 
I really love your ering...clean, classic look.

My favorite looks to go with it would be the kwait with round half bezels and the MB pear/round ring.

Things you need to consider...I had problems with the height of my wedding band compared to the height of my e-ring. It's
one more thing you want to match up. You don't want it to set to low compared to your e-ring. I tried on several rings that
I thought would look nice with my e-ring but they were just to low. You also need to consider that you will probably need
a separator ring to go with some of these wedding bangs because the diamonds will chew into the gold/plat of your e-ring.

To be honest, since you have a SK ering, I would probably let SK do you wedding band. That way he can make it the right
height etc. based on your ering.

Have you tried on lots of wedding bands with your ering to see how they look? You could even find a fake band that is similar to
what you want and looks good (heightwise) and send it to whoever you plan on making it with pictures of the rings together.3

I just hate to see you have one custom made and it not match up size wise to your e-ring. It wasnt something I though about
until I started trying some wedding bands on and wasnt getting the look that I wanted do to different heights in rings.
(I actually bought one and had to send it back...lucky for me it wasnt custom).
 
Thank you tyty333, very helpful information. I hadn't thought about height issues, which could be a problem.
 
Your E-Ring is just gorgeous!

I love the rings that you have posted, but I wonder if they might detract from your gorgeous 3 stone.

I would select a simple pave band or channel set band to accompany your engagement ring. I think that the others would be great as RH rings (I have been silently lusting after the MB Round Pear Bezel band for a couple of years.), but they may be too much for your e-ring. Again- this is just my opinion.

I know that your ring has pear sides, but I found a 3 stone round with a matching band that might want to consider.

I also agree with TYTY that getting SK involved in the process may be best in getting an eternity that will not compromise your E-Ring.

All the best with your decision!

Thank you crystal24k. Very helpful input.

Thank you All for your feedback. I decided to go with the SK band. Hopefully I'll have pictures to post in about 4 weeks.
