Opinions! What type of ring? Pics

Hey!

Not bought anything yet but window shopping for eternity ring ideas.

My engagement ring is a beautiful pear shaped halo and my wedding band is a plain half diamond eternity style hoop.

So far I’ve tried two very different styles - see pics

Any thoughts or options/suggestions/ ideas would be greatly appreciated.

My plan is to spend a day at the jewellery quarter in Birmingham but it would be good to have a couple of ideas.

What do you guys have?

I’m a fan of ‘difference’, not a plain band kind of lady - I’m a nurse so when I get a chance to wear my ring I like a (modest ) statement

Would be looking for diamonds and white gold.

Would I regret getting something fashionable I.e the fanned one? Would a simpler design age better?

Thanks!

I absolutely love the fan ring! Not classic eternity but it is beautiful and goes so well with your engagement ring. I'd go for that one.- every time you look at your finger you'll think "wow"!

I also love the fan ring- it makes such a statement with you engagement ring.

beddygu · 16/03/2022 23:52

I love the last band

EssexLioness · 16/03/2022 23:54

I love the second picture. Those rings look stunning together

TheBigDilemma · 16/03/2022 23:55

I’m not so sure about the fan ring, it looks like a pineapple when put together with the other ring.

BluebellsGreenbells · 16/03/2022 23:56

I also like the fan - it brings balance to the pear

LakeIsle48 · 16/03/2022 23:57

I love the fan ring. I dont think it would date. Its really nice!

mumjustmum · 16/03/2022 23:58

I also prefer the third picture ring, very elegant.
Worn above both your engagement and wedding would look beautiful. Your wedding ring being the first thing you wear as 'closest to your heart'

As your wedding ring is already a half eternity the one with alternate baguettes and brilliants, although gorgeous, won't really add anything.
The fan was n it's own isn't to my taste at all but with your pear solitaire looks stunning. It's a great combination. If you don't go for that then definitely go for something to frame your engagement solitaire in some way, lest it be lost next to your blingy wedding ring. Lucky you! Enjoy your trip to the jewellery quarter 🙂. Sounds like a lovely trip!

Thanks everyone 😊

I’m also thinking something more like the fan - less of a ‘safe’ option but you’re right why not get something that I think ‘wow’

Although I think for matching sake it would need diamond shoulders?

I also agree - looks like a pineapple 😂😂😂 (not necessarily a bad thing!)

We decided that a big wedding wasn’t for us so it’s a bit of a deal that I get to choose some nice jewellery very very occasionally!

Thanks again everyone.

I really dislike an eternity ring with your wedding and engagement rings. You have a beautiful engagement ring and are totally taking away from the impact of it by making your finger so busy. I would get an eternity ring for the other hand

KellyPaul36 · 17/03/2022 14:13

They are so beautiful! I love the fan ring more.

notawittyname1954 · 17/03/2022 15:16

the fan is beautiful with your other rings

aghhinlaws · 17/03/2022 16:42

I dislike the fan ring, it looks like a pineapple. I would prefer the first picture. I still haven't got my wedding ring although it's a plain gold band given on the wedding day so I just wear that but when I do get it, it would be just one wedding ring and eternity ring combined rather than having 3 rings.

Bumble1993 · 23/03/2022 16:58

Hey thanks for all your thoughts - been window shopping again!
I like the one half way down my finger (wrong size) - I think that’s the one

I like the fan one

LabelMaker · 23/03/2022 17:13

Omg so sorry! Missed you'd updated it. I like the 3rd picture of your 2nd set. I'd that the one you like?

RoseHarper · 23/03/2022 18:34

Have a look at Marrow Fine jewellery on Instagram or fb, they do amazing unusual stacks.

HanSB · 23/03/2022 18:54

Not keen on the fan one, I think it looks like costume jewellery which cheapens the look of your whole set when your beautiful ring with the other choices although a lot of diamonds looks quite elegant

Bumble1993 · 23/03/2022 19:43

Hey everyone - just wanted to say thanks for giving me your advice. I think the pineapple is not to be but is good fun!

Just wanted to say I realise at the moment with the cost of fuel and everything this post might seem a bit tone deaf. I don’t mean it to. We’re in the same boat as everyone else but as I said - our wedding was very low cost

That’s exactly what I thought.
Nnique · 23/03/2022 20:02

I quite like the one midway down your finger. Seems to fit your brief nicely and is a little bit different.

Nopeihavenoidea · 23/03/2022 20:07

Why don’t you get a ring for another finger as your eternity one - you could get something different

Have fun shopping
