Hi everyone!

I just joined this forum and I'm enjoying reading all of your posts! I would like your opinion on choosing a wedding band for my engagement ring. I have a round solitaire 6-prong ring and I'm debating between a diamond eternity band or a simple milgrain band. I love the look of the eternity band on its own, but also the elegant simplicity of a milgrain band. If any of you have a similar engagement ring, would you please share your opinions and pictures!

Thanks in advance!! =)

Hi ShootingStar! I used to have round 6-prong but recently had it reset to a 4 prong with prong-set diamond band. I thought I'd show you my wedding bands anyhow since I think they would look great with a 6 prong (I was originally going to keep my 6 prong with these bands).

Here it is:

and here are my eternity bands:

and this is how they look together

Hope that helps you! My eternity bands are 2mm "shared setting".

Hi Love_Savvy! Your rings are gorgeous! I like your idea of putting all 3 rings together. They fit together so well and don't look too gaudy! Thanks so much for sharing!

love that savvy!
I'd go for the eternity, it's actually exactly why I chose my recent upgrade to be a solitaire.
Dh will start colleting eternity bands for me to mix and match or to wear alone.

I have both a plain and a diamond band. I usually wear my ering with the diamond band, and the plain band with the diamond band. Rarely just the ering and plain band. :)

Here's my set.

Eternity!!!

sometimes i think the diamond solitaire by itself looks kind of lonely...it really makes it sparkle more with the eternity band.

LV Rawks · Jan 29th, 2008, 10:34 PM

I don't think that you can go wrong with either one, but I love the extra sparkle the eternity gives!

I agree with LV Raks too, and congragulations on your wedding too. Welcome to tPF BTW.

Here is mine, I swear pictures dont do it any justice, I need a better camera!

eckertle · Jan 30th, 2008, 10:52 AM

Another vote for an eternity band!

I love shared prong w-bands and I really love Memoire bands!

ame · Jan 30th, 2008, 01:05 PM

I don't have a full eternity--just a half. I had so many issues with the ring that was full eternity, though that was just shoddy workmanship. But having to be scared of that made it not worthwhile to have a full eternity ring.

shootingstar · Jan 30th, 2008, 01:10 PM

Thanks for all of your replies! I love all of your rings and you've been so helpful! I think the halfway eternity band is my decision, but I have time since we're not getting married until 2009 (no official date yet). I'll have fun looking around in the mean time!

I love the idea and the look of a solitaire with an eternity band.

sinniebunnie · Feb 1st, 2008, 04:57 PM

well i can see whats popular on here.. a simple band and a band with diamonds... i always thought that might look odd so i got this instead
