I also got mine as a wedding band. I like that if I don't feel like wearing my e-ring, there's still some sparkle!
It's a half-band as I heard they were more practical, not just for wear and tear but also if I needed to get it resized for whatever reason down the road. But it's got 12 diamonds, which means it looks like a full band as the diamonds go pretty far down each side.
I'd like a second one for my right hand, thicker maybe, with channel cut baguettes - I love that chunky look! But I'm only married 5 years - I'll happily wait a while.
