    I need some opinions about which band would go best with my ering...what do you think? I'm working with a local jeweler so I had to search for similar pics on the internet! Thanks for the help:)

    #1  It's an eternity band.

    Which wedding band? :  wedding Delicate Bling

    #2 This is a half eternity.

    I would a half eternity but with a smaller size diamond like the full eternity size you tried on!! That way it doesn't overpower your ring and also someday if you need to get it resized you can!!

    I would do the eternity too, but just make sure you get the correct size! I agree with laurarocks, the second one would over power the ering without changing the size of the diamonds.

    I love the eternity band & how blingy it is! Like PP said, be sure to get your correct size if you end up choosing that one. I'll have to get my rings soldered together because I chose a 3/4 band & the spinning would drive me nuts, something to consider. Your ering is beautiful btw.

    Half eternity all the way! 

    I definitely prefer the look of the larger stones on the half e., plus, I feel diamonds are safer when they are facing the top of the hand.  (I am pretty hard on rings.)  Glad you are using a local jeweler, at least you know he/she will set them correctly!

    I like the smaller size of the stones in the eternity band, but I prefer half eternity bands for 2 reasons -- they can be resized later, and I found eternity bands uncomfortable. Your surrounding fingers don't really sit flush and the stones poke.

    I vote half eternity band with smaller diamond size to better compliment the diamonds in your Ering band.

    I love the size of the first one and I'm going to vote for the eternity because it would annoy the crap out of me to have it spinning around and not match.

    I agree with MRSK2be....

     

    I am not a fan of full eternity bands.  I am having a hard time finding a wedding band I like too.  I did a post since I'm a newbie so I hope the board can help.  :-D

    your half eternity has pretty large stones. large enough that I think that if you got a 1/2 eternity, the ring will stay in place. the large stones will prevent it from spinning.

    I don't think it's a good idea to get a full eternity with stones that large -- the ring would be really uncomfortable between the fingers.

    I voted for the half eternity because I agreed with other posters that it would be easier to resize if you ever needed to. But I do like the smaller stones of the 1st.

    On another note. I always find it amusing when a poll turns out to be almost 50/50. :)

    Wow..it looks like it's tied! 

    I voted half-eternity in case you need to re-size it. But I think you should get smaller stones, like other PPs said...those are HUGE stones, and would overtake your e-ring, IMO.
