simple little band from Gold & Gems

[katiedid]

Hi all, I posted about ordering a palladium band from a place called Gold & Gems and how happy I was with their customer service. I wanted a simple band to wear when I don't want to wear my diamond wedding band and ering (to the gym, the pool, the beach, anywhere I'm worried about gunking up the eternity band setting and my ering setting). I ordered an ArtCarved palladium band in a size 5, Gold & Gems had it in stock, they engraved it for me that very day (my wedding date on the inside of the band), and sent it to me 2nd day air. I received it this morning and I love it. It's perfect for what I'll wear it for, and even matches nicely with my platinum ering. I took a couple of quick iPhone photos - pardon the dry hands - I just got back from a run and I'm probably dehydrated from the heat!

Just wanted to recommend Gold & Gems to anyone looking for something like this. It's always so nice to receive excellent customer service, even if you're not spending a lot of money!

it's perfect. And a very classic look that will never go out of style. Comfy too I bet!

thanks nfowife! super comfy! The best part is that it won't yellow over time like white gold tends to do on me. I can sweat all over it or wear it in the pool with no worries.

Looks great! I love the classic look of a plain band.

Looks great! Love the look of a plain band!

Just had to comment that your e-ring is so beautiful! What a spectacular diamond!

Nice choice, it looks perfect with your solitaire! Very classic!

Lovely band! I really love a simple wedding band. Very nice.

Looks good!

Thank you so much everyone! I really like it with my ering but I love my uternity too much to not wear it! I'm planning to try out the new band this weekend. Really appreciate all the nice comments on it.

It looks great!! Gold and Gems has great prices--I am thinking about ordering something from them.

I love it alone and with your ring. They were made for each other!

 

[pregcurious]

That's a great idea and it looks great. Are there any issues with wearing platinum and palladium next to each other in terms of the rings rubbing on each other?

I just did the same thing katie. With all of the dozens of rings and bands I have collected over the years, I never had a plain band and I just got myself one as well, and I like it a LOT! Yours looks great on you with your e-ring. Sometimes is actually do like to wear just plain metal and not a diamond band (perish the thought!)

I don't know of any issues with wearing the different metals next to each other, but when I wear this plain band, I wear it by itself. After wearing it a couple of times now, I wish I'd gotten a quarter size bigger since it's "comfort fit". It fits perfectly, but I like rings a little loose. It'll be fine once the weather cools down though. It's been in the 90s and 100s here so that tends to make your fingers a little bigger!

Thanks for the compliments everyone! Gemgirl, post a pic of yours!

Yeah, I found that comfort fit bands do fit a little bit different, but they can be stretched a hair without a problem. My new bands are going to have to be stretched when I regain all of my weight.

I'm going to have to take some pictures of my new e-ring with my newest plain band. I looked through my photo album and realized that I haven't taken any pics of the plain band yet!

My new e-ring didn't last long. I recently decided to *try* to sell it (for a decent price) and trade up color wise and size wise, and also by a new diamond from one of our vendors that has a lifetime upgrade policy, BUT..... that's all contingent on being able to sell this diamond for a reasonable price. I'm not into losing money. It makes me cranky!

Not a very good picture, but this is my new e-ring with a new 3mm. comfort fit band.

 

[marcy]

Very pretty. I've been thinking of getting the same thing to go with my solitaire ering. Sorry if I copy you.

 

[katiedid]

marcy, you'd enjoy a plain band - I really have! I love the simplicity and symbolism of it too.

gemgirl, your rings are gorgeous together!
