hiya!
I know there has been a LOT of talk about different styles of eternity bands, different vendors, and the possible problems that can occur. So, is there any consensus on an eternity band that you can wear without (too much) worry? Seems like with shared prong, you can run into the exposed girdles eating your e-ring, difficult to get it made perfectly even, possible loose stones, and the prongs can be ouchy. Plus, I don''t care for the side view on many of them - I prefer smooth sides and they rarely have that. The channel set bands might have their own set of problems - my original channel set e-ring had problems with loose stones, uneven-ness, and space between the rb''s (which I know some space is necessary due to their shape). So, what''s the best style for durability (and looks, of course?)
