Thanks Cricketgrrl! Yes, both of them are eternities. The stones on the top eternity band are 2mm according to their website. I like the 2mm width on me, not too blingy for everyday wear but not just glittery either (like my diamond band on the bottom of the first pic)leaving you wanting more. smile

I just bought two of the 2 mm eternities to go on either side of my "house" band, which is just a 3 mm white gold wedding band. So how are you going to bake them? What will baking them do? I do notice that the 2 mm band doesn't really sparkle so much.

Hannah - I think that's a cute idea to wear your "house" band like that! My original wedding band is also a 3mm white gold band. smile

I am baking them to somewhat "lower" the color of the czs so they aren't quite so white. I put them in a cold oven in a glass dish and set the temp to 400 and let them bake for 2 hours then turn off the oven and I don't take them out till the oven is cool again. I will have to bake them again though. I didn't notice too much difference the first time around. smile

I'm NOT a photographer!! In real life I think that the berricle 2mm is very sparkly! Especially compared to my 2mm diamond 1/2 eternity (the one on the bottom with the milgrain). The diamond "chips" in that one barely sparkle, they are more glittery. I hope that you aren't disappointed with yours! I love mine, I wore it solo yesterday. laugh

You'll have to post pics when you get them! Berricle shipped to me super fast!

I'm definitely not disappointed - I think I'm just so used to the "bling effect" from my Asha Flanders and the micropave on my engagement setting that I can already tell the difference between "cheaper" CZs and the Ashas smile The rings are perfect for what I wanted them for - when we're traveling/on the beach and I still want some bling that I don't have to worry about destroying. I won't be wearing them very often. I've seen a bunch of people post about baking their Berricles and I wonder if it will make that much of a difference with my eternity rings.... I'll post some pics tomorrow, I already received them but they're at home in the box next to the wedding band (I wear my engagement ring to work/out and about unless I'm going to Wal-Mart where I'm afraid I'll get mugged for my Asha).

Your rings are gorgeous - that one poster was right, that one looks like it was custom made to go with the Asscher!

It is really important to make sure you rings are WELL cleaned first, or you will bake finger prints right in...

I have never not cleaned things first, but I am pretty sure someone figured it out by trial and error. I have just read it on here LOTS so I figured I would pass it on. I have only baked a few rings, but dozens of loose stones, and I always wipe them with baby wipes and put them into the baking dish from the wipe, so I don't have any hand oils or finger prints on them before baking.

I'm glad that you brought it up Jcent!

I'm baking my berricle rings for the sencond time today. I didn't notice a difference the first time around so I upped the temp to 425. smile

HannahBee~ I agree, it does look custom made! That's what I thought when I saw GingerKa's! A custom look for so cheap! Whoo-hoo!! I'm waiting, waiting, waiting for my sapphire to put in it.... frown
