Went band shopping today!

We went band shopping again today. Unfortunately since we had sorta looked at bands the first time we went ring shopping (before we were engaged) I had found one that I sorta liked and so Martin went ahead and bought it. It was just a very simple plain, thin white gold band. Luckily it was less than $100. Anyways, I think we're going to try and sell that one and we've been shopping for something with a little more "bling".

After going to 3 jewelry stores today we found one that fits REALLY well with my E-Ring! I want to get y'alls opinions on it tho - is it too flashy, too much? That is my only hesitation. There are 2 sizes, one is .25 total carat weight and the other is .5 Believe it or not, Martin is actually pushing for the larger one (lol).

Here is my E-Ring (1 carat total weight, very sparkly in person):

Here is the Wedding Band: (Only difference is this one is the smaller one, the other one has two more diamonds and ends with 2 baguettes on the sides instead of circles, just like my E-Ring. Well, actually it has two more circles on the ends but we'd have those removed and it would match up perfectly...)

Let me know what you guys think!

I think its really nice, not too blingy at all. I think its perfect. I would go with the small one though, but that is just me. Most girls will say go big, but I am not one of them. lol

I can't believe you picked out your band already, we just got ours yesterday. lol

Well I am not going to lie, I am one of those girls!!! LOL I say go big!!! I dont think it will be too much at all. Personally the more sparkle the better!!!

I think it looks perfect with your e-ring. Beautiful!

I think it's perfect! Is there really such thing as too blingy ?!?! Lol... actually, yes there is, but no I do NOT think you are overstepping that line between gorgeous and gaudy. I say go for it!

We are actually going to get my WBs tomorrow. I just broke the news a few weeks ago that I want two My one justification is that we don't have to buy him a ring because he'll be wearing his father's (which was also his grandfather's)

Get the ring if it matches nicely, it is not always easy to find the perfect match, trust me, it's why I have had to have my band made.

I think it works perfectly, and not too much bling at all, it is very pretty.

You really are ahead of the game I am leaving in less then 2 months, and just ordered my ring, won't be ready for 4 to 5 weeks, I am really not ahead of the game.LOL

Thanks for all of your input ladies.

Jules - lol, I know we have a ton of time to choose them! (Hey, at least it's one thing out of the way, right! ) But, there is a sale going on right now. I know another sale will probably come along, but I don't want to lose out on this style since it is almost a perfect match. We went back to the place where we got my E Ring today and it wasn't there. I would have been so bummed if I had missed out! And we found out it would be about double for most jewelers to have one custom made, which we originally thought we were going to have to do.

Susan - That's exactly what I was wondering - if it was crossing the "gaudy" line. Thanks for the reassurance!
