I like many others voted 3 stone because you seem to want it.

Your picture showed 3 round stones...I much prefer 1 rb and 2 pears.

Ditto, but sapphires don''t male good pear cuts, they are a little too dark in that shape I think.

I picked the three stone because you are going to keep it longer. The eternity is temporarily on your left hand. The Sapphire and diamond ring is on you right hand and won''t ever be replaced. Of course you''ll alternate it with other RHRs but it won''t ever loose it''s original spot of honor. The eternity band well, you have plans to make it ''step down'' in the future.

HTH

I wouldn''t have thought of it this way, but it makes sense. Also, the three stone is a more substantial and valuable piece I could pass down to my future daughter in law if I wanted to.

If I wanted to that is

I voted for the three stone...I love them so much, and with sapphires and diamond...

I love the idea of stacking eternity bands for each child, so if it were me I would probably go with the eternity band. I think it''s such a sweet and sentimental idea and it would give you the chance to wear a ring for each child (assuming you have more than one) every single day. However, if you think not getting the three-stone is something you might regret, then go for it!

I think if you went with the eternity band the diamond would look great as a pendant. And then you would have an eternity band and a new pendant!

Dreamer,

I picked the three stone ring for many reasons:

1. i big puffy heart sapphires - and i know you do too since you used to have that unbelievable three stone i loved

2. you keep upgrading your ering, and are picky about what goes with it (ie. height of the band - FWIW i picked the bigger eternity ring in the last poll).
3. I would REALLY like to see you do something with that gorgeous stone you have in your jewelry box

I am a very practical purchaser, and i just think it would be a shame to get the eternity band to go with a solitaire that you will upgrade sometime soon. Once you do that, and the band is too small for it, you''ll have to get a bigger band to go with it.

So, my favorite plan for you is to go with the three stone now - get the upgrade whenever you choose - get a suitable eternity band after you get the final ering

Well that is simply stunning! I think it may come down to my preference for brilliant cuts in sapphs though... sapphires are such moody stones and they can look very dark in some lighting environments and this is especially true in step-type cuts. Only my opinion, many people love sapphs in those cuts, but for me it doesn''t float my boat. BUT I sure love that design with diamonds!

Would make a really nice RHR

All great points! I too am a practical purchaser, so I am not sure yet how this will all play out. The only thing is, I may *not* change my solitaire setting down the road

Who really knows at this point! LOL!

I made up my mind

OOOH,,, are you going to share? or surprise us.... glad you made up your mind,,, I still am thinking about all of my decisions its going to take a few more days if not weeks... arggh...

Dreamer, I KNOW, I love the deco baguette designs. I think if I ever got a high color (G or higher) Transitional or Old European cut, I''d do something that is like one of those two settings.

What did you decide?
