Re: Wedding Band...diamonds/no diamonds?

Platinum Diamond eternity bands (channel set round stones all the way around the band). My FI gave me 3 of them and I wear them stacked. Each band is a little of 2 carats. If I can find a picture I'll post it (I already wear them, I've had them for a while) So, I wear my engagement ring on one hand and the wedding bands on the other.

Surprised me by one day giving me three piece of candy, wrapped in shinny paper. I opened the candy to try them, and in each 'piece' of candy was actually the rings! It was sweet.

Re: Wedding Band...diamonds/no diamonds?

I want diamonds on my band, too. I'm having a difficult time deciding on whether to do smaller diamonds so that it has an very understated elegance look but which is complementary and makes my solitaire stand out or to get a bit bigger diamonds which creates more of a 'Wow' effect plus if I just wear my band alone - it's a substantial ring on its own. Decisions, decisions - so many choices...

Re: Wedding Band...diamonds/no diamonds?

My wedding band is diamonds because nothing else looked good with my e-ring. I tried just a plain platinum band and it just didn't look nice at all with my e-ring.

Re: Wedding Band...diamonds/no diamonds?

It all depends on your taste. I am getting an eternity band with round diamonds all around in a common prong setting. The size diamond really depends on how it looks on your hand.
I am also gettting a plain band also.

Re: Wedding Band...diamonds/no diamonds?

I have a solitaire e-ring. My wedding band is 9 tiny diamonds in a shared prong setting (I've posted pics before if you do a search). I went for the smaller diamonds on the wedding band instead of the larger ones because we didn't want to overwhelm the e-ring (which is a family heirloom). I wear both together.

Re: Wedding Band...diamonds/no diamonds?

I am having the same person who made my e-ring make my wedding band to match. It is going to be princess cuts diamonds around the front to exactly match my e-ring.

Re: Wedding Band...diamonds/no diamonds?

I have a white gold band with.25 pave diamonds on it. My e-ring is larger, so I wanted something a little more understated for the band and they look nice together. I'm also getting a plain band with nothing on it in addition.

Once you go diamonds you can't go back

Mine is a channel set eternity band. The diamonds total 1.7 carats.

Re: Wedding Band...diamonds/no diamonds?

Am i the only one without diamonds? I just don't like it (for myself) for a wedding band. Just too much. I'd rather get one as an anniversary band. I like the look of a plain platinum band. I have simple tastes.
