I'm the odd one in the group. I love #2 and then #3. I think you will always be able to find a similar ring in the future. You may not find similar bracelets in the future. #2 is so unique.
 
#3 blingy and unique, yet clean looking. you already have a diamond eternity band. #2, I would wear more on special occassions, and I would not spend that much $$ on something I couldn't wear everyday. That's just me. Whatever makes you go STOP EVERYTHING!!! :D
 
Hi all! I wanted to get your thoughts on which you like the best...
Option #1 is a second eternity band to stack with my e ring and wedding band ( the one I'm considering is on the top- baguettes and rounds)

Option 2 is this vintage diamond bracelet

Option 3 is a diamond bangle

All three are from a consignment store in town and roughly the same price. I want something that I can wear every day... Please let me know your thoughts as to which I should get!!!!
Option 3!!! :loveeyes:
 
Cartier love is still definitely an option. I'm a little hung up on the price but DH is willing to let me have it if I pitch in my own funds from my "stash". I found a lovely pre-loved one that I could do. Just not sure what the right decision is for me. I like the option of being able to take my jewelry off at night and I'm not sure if I can get used to having it on 24/7. Still up for consideration too is a two tone 33 mm ballon bleu. I no longer have the Cartier tank in my avatar but I do have a 36mm stainless rolex with diamond markers. I love watches. But my poor right wrist is bare and I think needs some adornment first. HELP!!!
 
Wow- almost everyone has loved #3 so far. I wasn't sure if this one is too dressy for every day. I am a SAHM and my kids are in school but my social life consists of volunteering at their school and serving on committees.... Keep the opinions coming :)
Here's some more shots of the top two contenders... This would be for DH and my 10th anniversary this November btw

What if it were between the diamond bangle #3 or a yellow gold cartier love bracelet? Which would you choose and why?

Blumster, I am looking at the closing mechanism on the diamond bangle and it looks to me that it will NOT be for everyday. Given your lifestyle, I would say dip into your stash and get the LOVE - it is understated elegance. The diamond bangle is what I will call opulent elegance.

I just bought a PG LOVE and like you, would have to get used to not taking it off.

Thanks so much for your insight, Hadassah! I think you are right and as gorgeous as the bangle is, I feel a little uncomfortable wearing something so blingy for everyday. This piece reads more dressy to me..... The more I think about it, the more I want the love. Now I have to decide between pg new or the yellow pre- loved.... 3rd world problems, I know!

If you wish, you can get the YG polished but I have read where every time there is a polish, there is loss of metal.
 
All three are lovely. The eternity band is gorgeous but you already have finger candy.

Both bracelets are stunning but I'd go with 3.

As to the showiness, in my experience a piece like this looks showy because it's new to you and you're seeing it up close. Over the course of a couple of weeks it will settle right in and just look right is what a believe. Instead of looking extra blingy it will look like a lovely little piece of beauty on your wrist
