Hi! I’m new here and looking for info and advice about a possible anniversary ring and/or a reset for my wedding set.
This year is my 20th anniversary and 50th birthday, and I want something new. I thought I wanted to add an eternity or anniversary band to my set, but I am also open to a reset.
my current set is a traditional trinity setting, in platinum. Stones are asscher cut, and I think it’s about 1.3 ct total weight. I still love my setting, but I have relatively small hands and I’m not sure I can get another ring onto my hand and still feel comfortable. I’m also pretty hands-on and active, which makes me kind of hard on things - I can’t wear delicate chain bracelets, for example, because I break them. every single time. Because of this, I think I would be better with a partial eternity ring, and not the full one.
When I was looking at bands, I noticed that a lot of the setting today are more delicate than mine and I’ve been wondering if a reset of my e-ring into a narrower band, maybe pave, would be pretty. But I still really like the look and feel of my current set, so this may be an option for later. Maybe my 30th/60th?
anyway, the rings I’ve been considering to go with are:

It’s a small row of stones, and I don’t think it would overwhelm my hand. I also like the look of the embrace setting, but it’s not a lot of stone for the $$$.

For the Soleste band, I would probably do the full eternity style - the stones seem pretty well protected this setting.

This is the band I always thought I wanted with my set. It’s pretty and the stones match, but I’m now wondering it the channel setting is too much metal? Or if it’s a good way to protect the stones. This is also really hard to find because Tiffany doesn’t make it anymore and I would have to wait or resize.

this is about the same width as my current bands. I think it’s lovely, but I’m not sure if my hand can take 2.8mm more ring.[/URL]
what would you do? Is there another style I should consider?
The closest Tiffany store is 2.5 hours away so I can go and try the first two rings, but it will take a bit of work to get there. I can also probably try one of their channel-set bands, just not the asschers.
any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
