That is lovely-is it Pandora?

My friend has a three coloured trinity diamond Cartier wedding ring, it's stunning. Very blingy!

I got married 2015 both of mine are yellow gold. The wedding ring belonged to my great grandmother, I had it resized though as I have ridiculously small hands and fingers

What size are you-just out of interest?

I’m an H 1/2 and struggle to buy ‘off the peg’ rings.

GinGeum · 29/07/2018 12:06

Holiday I’m a size H too. I just bought an I and had it resized.

PurpleFlower1983 · 29/07/2018 12:13

Mine is half eternity style and I love it.

I'm an h to, have to get everything re sized

RiojaHaze · 29/07/2018 14:31

@Holidayshopping yes! So lucky - saw it online, popped in to try one on and they only had one which was in my size and in the sale so cost £40!

I have loved seeing everyone's wedding rings. I have really manly hands and it's not a great pic but I love mine - antique emerald cut diamond with baguettes and diamond wedding ring.

My wedding band is an eternal knot in yellow gold, bound by white gold. My DH is the same but bigger! My engagement ring is nearest my finger to, my eternity ring is nearest my hand. I love mine and wouldn't be without any of them.

Holidayshopping your ring looks similar to mine so thats how mine would look with a plain band. I have very small hands and fingers too. Everything has to be resized.

@Nightwispa go for it! I also have a penchant for diamonds. my little collection are modelled on my other Gran's beautiful diamond rings which were of the carat and clarity I could only dream of, and all set in platinum.

The only downside to increasing the sparkle on my index finger is it can be a bit distracting when driving-I'm shamefully obsessed Blush

I have a Russian wedding ring from 1996 and have never seen anyone else wearing one. I can't find how to post a pic though!

thismeansnothing · 30/07/2018 14:54

My wedding band is a half eternity ring. Got tiny fingers so if the time ever came don't think I'd be able to squeeze and eternity ring on there too 😬

As an alternative.. I had 24 CT yellow for our wedding last year. It was hand made sandcast for an organic feel and matched my Alex Monroe engagement ring beautifully. I love how 22 and 24 carat gold actually glows in the light.

DH had a similar sandcast style but much thicker and reusing his grandfather's ring.

After my first marriage where I went for the bigger is better approach I wanted something that wouldn't keep taking my eye out like the last one. Ironically it turned out that the 0.75 carat solitaire from a well known high street jeweller was in fact not a diamond. I still enjoy knowing that exH spent a fortune on essentially cut glass :)

Love looking at all the different styles! Mine are made with platinum. When did everyone get their eternity ring? Some people say they got it when they had their first son, others say after x many years of marriage... not really sure when I should be expecting one?! 🤣🤣

Thank you. Sandcast is a process where they mix a little sand into the mould so you get that organic textured feel. We got it from Justin Duance who is based in Cornwall but sells online too. We were fortunate to be visiting on holiday and he made time to meet us. We had a wonderful experience and he was great offering suggestions to get on budget, such as reusing gold which we really like the idea of.

Lol the fake, initially I gave the ring to a friend, as it held no value to me and second hand they don't sell for much. She got it valued and they said oh you know this isn't diamond, it's a mossanite.

It all clicked into place. A colleague was really interested in buying it for his wife as an upgrade until he had it valued. He never told me why..

Still. Never mind

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire · 30/07/2018 16:58

Which jeweller?
