I have my wedding band!!!
After a long search and lots of changing my mind, it''s finally here! My FI surprised me by ordering it early, and when I came home from overnight call at the hospital, there was a package slip in my mailbox...and there it was!
Initially I wanted a curved band to sit flush with the very low gallery of my e-ring. I''m not a gap lover, and I thought that any amount of a gap would bother me. However, I couldn''t seem to find anything that looked "right" and would have needed to go custom. WF showed me a great example of a custom curved band, but it was a little more expensive than I was looking for. So then I went to Tiffany''s and tried on the Etoile, which I loved, so I looked into getting the
WF scattered diamond band and was pretty much set on buying the 3mm band. But then I tried on a bezel set round diamond eternity band at a local jeweler in Pittsburgh, similar to the Tiffany Jazz but actually alternating between larger and smaller round diamonds. It was really beautiful and suited me the best, but I didn''t want to pay B&M prices, so I kept looking.
At some point I was browsing around PS and noticed that someone had linked to this eternity band from Blue Nile. It...was...PERFECT! Princess cut stones set on point to match the surprise diamonds in my e-ring, alternating with smaller round diamonds in the style of the one I liked at the B&M...what more could I ask for! And it was very affordable in Platinum. So that was it!
I think I will still order the WF scattered diamond band in the near future, but in WG to wear as a RHR, probably in the 4mm size, which would have been overpowering with my e-ring, but would look elegant on its own. I feel a bit guilty for not ordering from WF, but it would have been a lot more expensive to custom-design this eternity band through WF, and the perfect band was sitting right in front of my eyes at BN.
Anyway, enough rambling...onto the pics!
