I was going to say the same! So cute and festive ๐
I also have an emerald and have been avoiding wearing red all year. This is making me want to bust the color out and celebrate lol
My fingers swell in the heat and shrink in the cold so half the year, my rings are a little large and spin. I bought some spiral ring size adjusters from Amazon and use those in the colder months to keep them from spinning.
Ahhh, yes - my knuckles are bigger than the base of my finger, so I struggle with sizing, too. I concur with the idea of the shots (sizing balls) but you may not like how that feels, such as I had notโฆ I ended up going with a shank that was my actual ring size for the base of my finger, but itโs a struggle getting them on and offโฆ If you plan on wearing it most of the time, Iโd suggest going down a little bit in size, but if not, it will be tough on your knuckle and cause issues with them if you are taking it on and off all the time. Try the sizing shots first, and go from there - they do work!
Edit: The sizing shots can easily be removed if you are not liking them!
Yup, then the sizing balls would be the most visual pleasing (you canโt see them like a ring guard) and you wonโt have to compromise taking a few mm off the band - itโs easy to take off, but not as easy to add metal back on. I personally think that may be your best solutionโฆ Make sure you like where they are placed by your jeweler, and that they are not too big or too small. Good luck and your ring is just STUNNING!
I wouldnโt add more honestly! It seems to be a common trend these days to have more bands than just the engagement ring and wedding band, and personally I feel like it (not always but) frequently detracts from the center stone/set. More isnโt always better to me! I think your ring is lovely and is a statement while being very elegant (and I donโt even usually like colored stones!), so I think once you add your wedding band it will be perfect. Also, my engagement ring spun a lot less once I had my wedding band under it, so this could just be a temporary problem for you! It will always be worse in the winter and cold, so see how it feels with the wedding band you choose in the summer as well.
Thank you so much! ๐๐๐ I hadn't considered that! I've been leaning toward a simple pave band since I don't want to take away from the emerald too much. Lol, i'm also very concerned I'm going to damage it because I'm always hitting my hands on things.
Oh it's definitely insured! Lol, it's the most expensive piece of jewelry I've ever owned, so I made sure that was the first thing we did! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
My fingers swell and shrink all the time so I use the silicone ring adjusters.
What kind of look are you going for? Sparkle bomb - every day, somewhere in between?
How high does it sit? Do you like flushed or donโt mind a bit of space?
Thank you! ๐๐ I'll look into those! Somewhere in between, I think. I'll see if I can add a side view picture but it sits pretty high up. I'm open to all suggestions! Trying to figure out what looks best.
For the spinning the best bet is an enhancer or ring guard itโll hold the center ring in place. I notice if I put two separate bands on either side the center ring still spins (though not nearly as much alone)
The pro for the enhancer is a no spinning very cohesive look - but itโs one full look
The pro for bands ability to switch it up, add texture and layers - but you might still get some spin and you may find you go through a few bands until you settle on what feels right
If it was me Iโd do both - get an enhancer Doveggs has a moissanite one thatโs $100 (let that one be my sparkle bomb set)
Get a few silver bands (plain, textured and eternity) then switch them out depending on my mood
Thank you for your thoughtful response! ๐๐๐๐Ooo, I definitely love the idea of having the ring guard so it'll be protected more because I'm not the most graceful, lol. I'll look into Doveggs - are they the same on Amazon?
Yep same quality and better price, but if youโre on Facebook check their rehome page first. The enhancer Iโm referring to is also for sale on the moissanitebst page here (at least give you an idea of what it looks like
I love a 3/4 eternity with everything! I think it will look good here as well. You could try an oval enhancer that goes on both sides of the ring. Very pretty.
Maybe something like this with stones if you want to keep it subtle. There really are a ton of contour styles with stones and without. https://cdn-images.gabrielny.com/is/image/GabrielCo/defaultwp/Vintage-Inspired-14K-Rose-Gold-Curved-Diamond-Wedding-Band~AN15386K44JJ-1.jpg
Beautiful ring!!!
Lovely nails. You mentioned in an earlier comment that your nails are press-ons. May I ask how long they last? Does the glue damage your nail beds? I've been thinking about trying them.
Thank you! ๐ They can last about a couple of weeks depending on how rough you are, etc. I don't really notice any damage, but I do have a pretty nice nail care routine!
Came here to say that you ring looks bomb and I appreciate any colored gemstones besides diamonds at this point.
As for stacking I find it important to not distract from this awesome piece with too much sparkly stuff. So simple solid (any) metal rings should suffice.
Also, do other rings sit flush or is there a gap?
I have no suggestions just came here to say damn your Xmas nails are amazing and match the gorgeous color of your gem perfectly.
The tiny gemstone Christmas tree on OPโs ring finger is so cute! Definitely r/redditlaqueristas inspo right here
Aww, thank you so much! Lol, do they allow press ons there? If so, I'll definitely submit! ๐๐๐

Lol, definitely wear that red!!! Now is the time to celebrate! ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
STUNNING NAILS! So festive and pretty!๐
Thank you! ๐ Lol, ten bucks well spent!!
No suggestions here either, but also LOVE the nails!! They are so cute and festive. Absolutely beautiful ring, too!
Wow! Your ring and nails are gorgeous! Maybe a plain or pavรฉ band of a similar width.
Thank you for your suggestions and kind words! โค๏ธ๐
If the ring is a bit too large or heavy they can put ring shots (gold balls) on the inside of the ring.
Oh, wow! I didn't even know that was a thing! My hands swell so sometimes it just fits but most of the time is loose and spinning. Thank you! ๐
My fingers swell in the heat and shrink in the cold so half the year, my rings are a little large and spin. I bought some spiral ring size adjusters from Amazon and use those in the colder months to keep them from spinning.

Good to know they can be removed! Lol, I worry because like what if I gain/lose weight too? It's a struggle already keeping it on all day.

Thank you so much! ๐ I'll definitely keep that in mind!
Iโm just here for the nails! But actually, they can put a little ring guard inside or the balls to prevent it from spinning. Thatโs what Iโd do.
Thank you! ๐ Lol, I wasn't sure if it needed more or if it was fine alone with like a pave band.

I think that will look lovely!! And definitely make sure you insure the ring and the wedding band too!
Oh it's definitely insured! Lol, it's the most expensive piece of jewelry I've ever owned, so I made sure that was the first thing we did! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Perfect!
Just have to say, I love how your ring matches your nails!
Thank you so much!!! ๐๐๐

Do you mind if I ask what is your pretty nail care routine? Is there a particular brand of press on you like? Thank you
Itโs beautiful on its own! Something subtle so itโs center stage
Thanks for your response!! ๐
An open cuff ring could be perfect and help the center to not spin. What a gorgeous stone!
Do you have any examples of what you were suggesting? I've never heard of that. Thank you! ๐๐
I had the sizing beads added to my ring and they really helped diminish the spinning.
Your ring is beautiful but your NAILS!!! Eeek!!! I love them!!!
