My e-ring is an eternity band, so to complete the set, FI is getting another eternity band as my wedding ring, which is really great. Just make sure you really know your size CB, because they are almost impossible to resize. I actually got some sizing beads soldered on the inside of my ring and it helps so much with fit. I don’t even notice them anymore and my ring doesn’t spin around like it used to!

I have an eternity band and I love it. I am not sure why everyone says they are not practical. I agree with futuremrs.taj. If you ring becomes too big you can get a small piece of platinum soldered to the inside of your ring to make it smaller, or beads whichever you choose.

I just picked out my wedding band this weekend… it’s an eternity band, asscher cut stones (to match my engagement ring), 2.75 ct total weight. The ones in the store were all HUGE (as in, 4 ct total weight) and that was WAY TOO MUCH BLING for me, so we had him custom make a smaller one to see if I would like that (truthfully I would go even smaller but my fiance was happy with the ring as is). As far as it being uncomfortable, it didn’t bother me at all, and I work with my hand significantly more than most (I’m a scientist, so not only do I use my hands, but I have to squish them into nitrile gloves 10 hours per day).
As far as the sizing, he suggested going up 1/4 to 1/2 size compared to my engagement ring, because I’ll wear it on the inside of my finger and the engagement ring will serve as the “ring guard” and as I get older, my fingers will swell more, so it’s better to have it be a bit loose now as opposed to later. Plus, since it’s a full eternity band, it doesn’t matter if it spins — there’s no up side and down side. I just knew I didn’t want a half eternity, because I wear my grand-grandmother’s half eternity ring on my right hand, and that sucker flips upside down ALL THE TIME. It’s actually really tight on my finger and a struggle to take on and off, but even with it being smaller than comfortable, it’s still upside-down every time I look at it.

my e-ring is also an eternity band… and I love it! As any ring it’s gets some time to get used to it, but now I hardly notice it. I have small hands… with a size 4 ring. At night when it gets cold, it’s totally loose (spins around) but when I get hot or in the morning, it’s super tight! soooo it’s actually the perfect size either way. As long as you know your ring size and maybe go a 1/2 up or (+) if you are worried about rpeganancy or whatever… I wouldn’t worry about it!

I wnet all out on my wedding band… I couldn’t stand the way one ring looked against my princess cut solitare, so we got a diamond eternity that I wear at the base of my finger, and then my engagement ring, and that is all sandwiched under a half diamond eternity - It really balances out the look of the ring. single bands were really making my ring look lopsided… The only question now is do I get the finish of my engagement ring brushed to lessen the shine???, I suppose I could always polish it back out if I don’t like the brushed look.

I have a half eternity and second facets (recommended by sarah above). Both our bands are from there (we actually went to the office on 47th) and Issac is great and their prices were fabulous!

Mine is channel-set and half-eternity. I have turned it around to the underside of my hand to see what it would look like if it were full-eternity, and I think it would be wasteful. Not only would it get dirty more easily, since you use the underside of your hands more than the top, but nobody ever sees the underside of your hand, anyways. You don’t sit around with your palms facing upwards…at least, I don’t!

I highly recommend the channel-set half-eternity wedding band. Everything stays put, it’s just as gorgeous (again, nobody can see the underside of your hand), and hey, it’s much cheaper! Mr. CB will appreciate that!
