Eternity ring Qs

Doughnut, 1 May, 2008 at 21:15 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 32

I want one but I'm not sure how you're meant to choose - I have looked around but I wonder if you're meant to get the same cut stones as your engagement ring? I have 3 princess cut diamonds. I quite like this but I wonder if it would look a bit funny? I know it's up to me & to choose what I like, but I have awful taste in most things ? I like the rings with a few diamonds round a plain band, but I think they're wedding rings and I can't find anywhere that does my size and you can't have them resized I don't think.

Show me your rings please (as it were).

    This is my eternity ring. Tiffany have some lovely designs I think.

    I don't know about the 'matching it to your engagement ring' though as I had to switch hands when I got married as my engagement ring is a very unusual shape/design. I wear my eternity and wedding ring on my wedding finger.

    I wear my eternity ring on the third finger of my right hand. I have really little hands and any ring I tried on looked ridiculous with my e and wedding ring. But there was no way I was turning down the offer from my H for an eternity ring. ?

    I have one (small) princess cut diamond for engagement. in the end I got a full band of princess cut stones for eternity ring. but I was happily looking at all kinds of shapes - they don't have to match.

    I used to have a photo about, if I find it I'll post.

    I remember when you got this MrsB. It's the kind of thing I'm looking for I think. Might have to wait a little while yet! You deserve it after sprogging; I have no kids so haven't really earned mine yet!

    Yes, was only a couple of months back. I loooove it, I must say. It's not what I was looking for initially but I fell in love with it.

    hell, everyone deserves diamonds. the sprogs are just a useful lever ?

    ooh thanks! fringe looked great a couple of weeks ago. It's just a tad too long now. I will toddle back to them and get em to trim it shortly.

    The hairdresser said she was aiming for a Chrissie Hynde effect. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry ?

    We've been together 11 years so it was about ruddy time. I figured as we got engaged 10 years ago it was probs time I got more diamonds. ?

    Doughnut, that first ring you posted was the sort of thing I was looking at. the only reason I didn't go for it in the end was cost - I wanted the diamonds all the way round and that was just out of my price league ?

    Jester, thanks! we must meet up soon. I am sodding enormous this time around. I look about a month further on than I actually am. gawd knows what I'll be like when I'm due ?

    Very pretty, lucky thing! I love how it sparkles and have always loved princess cut diamonds.

    Does anyone else look at other people's wedding/eng etc rings? I spend ages doing this, people must think me a total weirdo!

    I would love an eternity ring but I have a feeling Mr G isn't going to buy me one. I have briefly considered making my own but I'm not sure if I trust myself with gold and diamonds yet ?

    I got my eternity ring for our first wedding anniversary. My eternity ring is a half diamond band and matches my engagement ring. I wear my eternity ring with my wedding ring and engagement ring.

    If I have one it'll have to be on a different finger, mine are too short to fit another ring on. I guess that means I wouldn't have to match it though, so I could have a coloured stone or something. This is all pie in the sky though, as I only got the wedding ring a year ago ?

    Here are my engagement and wedding rings. The wedding ring technically is an eternity ring but I'm hoping I'll get an eternity ring some time in the future - though I'm undecided on what would go

    Rings off

    Rings on (and hairy fingers)

    I've got a marquise cut engagement ring and my eternity ring is made up of 4 baguette cut diamonds.

    Don't have any pics though.

    Have you thought about getting one made?

    I had mine made to my own design by a jeweller in the Jewellery Quarter here in Brum. He made my wedding ring (my third!) the year before and so the two of them sit really well together.

    The E ring is white gold with 15 princess cut diamonds channel set into it. I like it because it looks like a full eternity ring as the diamonds go beyond the "shoulders" of the ring but it isn't. He told me that most half eternities have 7, 9 or 11 diamonds so it was great when H said I could have 15 and get the look I wanted.

    The wedding band is also white gold and "channel set" but where there would ordinarily be stones set between the channels, it's been hammered to create a industrial look - but from a few feet away it looks diamond set too.

    The E ring is the most expensive piece of jewellery I've ever owned and I love it. I'll never tire of it and it is soooo going to the grave with me. Nobody else is getting their hands on this little baby. ?
