A french cut band can't be too rich or too thin

Temptation, thy name is french cut - when I saw this little guy winking up at me out of a tray on 47th, I couldn't resist. My three carater needed a friend!

Platinum and die-stamped, I believe, this is the SKINNIEST eternity band I've ever seen - it's 1.35 mm wide, and nevertheless sturdy and hardwearing. You can tell it's seen a lot of love by the way the platinum has worn: I dunno if I'm going to have it retooled (I like seeing a little history), but I sure as heck feel more comfortable wearing it day in and day out knowing that I'm not the first!

It's technically a size 7, but since I'm an eternity band addict and it's so skinny, it's the perfect fourth (or fifth!) band to wear with my stack.

A few shots below - alone, with its "big sister," and in Circe's Stack o'Bands ....

And, since one good aphorism deserves another ... have I ever mentioned that my personal motto is that too much is never enough? Yeah. I also wear it with my little vintage-y solitaire. :rodent:

It's a size 7, too, but I actually don't think I'll have it resized: it fits perfectly over my domed wedding band so there's no gap. Like I PLANNED it, I tell you!

I really love how the skinny band looks with my french cut ruby band. And my carre band. And all of the bands, really - poifect accent piece! Poifect, I tellz ya!

Ahem.

HI:

Glad you qualified what cannot be "too" rich or thin...I'd hate for this to turn into one of those discussions..... :bigsmile: :saint: ;))

Great find as usual. :love: And when you are tired of that T & C turquoise necklace and ruby eternity ring...do look me up...

cheers--Sharon

We gotta hunt her down. Grab her. And lock her in my dungeon. Enerchi and Mayk are already down there. She'll have company.

No, Circe... I'm happy for you! Of course! Don't run away in the opposite direction when you see me stalking you in New York! MUAHAHA!

Circe! Totally great stack! I love that skinny band, and ruby band, and and and all of it. Great taste, as usual. Don't forget about my "Circe Mash-Up" coming! Maybe it will enable/inspire Sarahbear if Venice is lonely. Didn't you see any little 3-5 size ones??

come on... meet me in NYC this week ... I'm not like those other evil girls (YT, Sarahbear or Gemfever) who want to take your stack from you.... I'm not like that at all... you can trust sweet little old Enerchi to be kind and sweet and loving to your new french cut band and the rest of your stack... really.... I would *never* try to take them from you.... EVER.... :devil: :Up_to_something:

Beautiful addition to your collection. There is just something quite special about a thin, :twirl: delicate, DIAMOND band!!!

It's really sweet and adorable and I do love it with your stack. Please share if you would, who has old cuts on 47th St.? Lately, I'm there once a month (yes, it's become a habit of sorts!) but I never wander further than our friends at IDJ and one other place.

So... have I mentioned lately that one day I'm going to becoming an international jewel thief and steal your entire collection? Cause that's totally happening. :rodent:

I have been skeptical of skinny french cut bands but gee it looks really, really nice in that stack! What a great find!
