After the drama of my full princess eternity ring becoming misshapen for the 4th time in under 4 years & the vendor washing their hands of it despite acknowledging there was in issue with structural integrity, in stepped a Jeweller friend of mine in London to re-make it :appl:

I would never in a million years be able to afford to commission him, as he's very exclusive & caters for the rich & famous, so squeaking me in at mates rates & on his own time just goes above & beyond. Here's to the Knights in Shining Armour of the Jewellery world out there! :wavey:

And here she is, my certified matched 1.75ctw, F colour, VS1 clarity diamonds in their new, sturdy home :love:

Gosh I love love love it. It looks a lot sleeker and more timeless than your other one, and the reduced metal makes it go with your e ring amazingly.

It really is perfection.

Great end to a bad story. Lol :)

Thank you Niel! I am not a lover of channel settings, but my friend convinced me that it would match my busy life & busy hands :bigsmile:

It has been entirely hand made with a comfort fit interior, thinned & rounded walls & no holes inside - its a solid band. He felt it would give more strength & also keep the diamonds cleaner. I also have a progress gallery that he sent full of pictures, from removing the stones from the original setting to the bar of platinum he started with for the new ring. Its fascinating to look through!

Looks amazing. I think you will grow to love a princess/channel set band - I have one and lOVE it - so smooth, such crisp and clean lines.

I am sooooo happy that your eternity band story has a happy ending!!! I love the new band in the channel setting so much more than the shared prong - the lines are clean & seamless, and it looks so beautiful with your other band and your e-ring. It's gorgeous - congrats!!!

Thank you everyone! I am over the moon with it & can't stop looking at it or fiddling with the order of my rings on my finger! The new style brings a whole new dynamic to my set, so which way to wear them is a mystery!
