    I just got my wedding band after we looked effortlessly for a few months.. See, I originally had a pave, diamond eternity band.. it was BEAUTIFUL but it just didn't seem to go with the Ering.. so YES.. diamonds are not a girls best friend.. I did trade my diamonds for a beautiful, simple yet elegant vintage band that is from the same era as my Ering.  So happy I made this decision as this band seems to complete my ring.

    I love it! I got a patterned, non-diamond band as well! And I really like the pattern on your e-ring -- it almost looks like little hearts.

    Thanks everybody!!  This is sweet for you all to take time for feedback. It just made more sense to have it all the same era..

    It's beautiful! I love the vintage look. And I agree, diamonds are not a girls best friend lo, well maybe not all the time.

    @Mrs.Lotus:  I have one image that you can see the ring on my hand.. hope this will help give you an idea of the two bands.. ofcourse you won't be able to see the detail as well.

    I have an antique ring and I will be looking for a antique or antique-inspired wedding band as well. You made an awesome choice! They look beautiful together!

    Wow.. I am seriously taken aback by this feedback.. I do know that it is not 'blingy' and is a modest ring with what I feel is 'proper' presentation of intricate filigree with a single diamond.. this is great to see that others still can appreciate the traditional simple solitiare. I enjoy my estate piece because it creates a mood for the old hollywood romance that I've always seen in B&W.

    DROOL!!!! I love your set! And totally agree with you on the "diamonds are not always a girl's best friend thing"... I've yet to find a diamond wedding band I like better than a simple white gold engraved one I found!

    @shirasagi:  In regards to looking for antique wedding band.. it was difficult for us because my Ering band is so thin and the height of the band is very slim so everything was raising over the ring and it just looked weird.  This is the same aged metal, the same height and it just seems to be a perfect fit.  There are several antique/vintage wedding bands on Ebay you can search. I found mine at a local jewelry store that specializes in estate jewelry.  It was already my ring finger size, so it feels as though it was just waiting on me!
