Calling Waterlilly - more piccies of pave band pls!

[dinamit]

Hi Waterlilly

Can't think of any other way to get in touch with you - hope you don't mind me calling out for your attention this way

I recently got engaged, and am at the exciting stage of wedding planning and looking for bands. Whilst searching the forum for pictures of scattered bands, I came across your wonderful rings - you have great taste! It must be a joy wearing those lovelies every day

I absolutely love your bezel, the scattered band, and especially the pave band.

I have a semi-bezel for my engagement ring (you can see pics in LIW) and think a pave band like yours would look wonderful with it. Would you mind sharing the details? I looked on BN, but couldn't find it. Does it have a style number/name?

Many, many thanks,

dinamit

Many thanks!

Hi Dinamit!

Thank you so much for your kind words, it is very flattering!

I just searched, and it looks like they are not offering the ring anymore

You should check out Lord of Gem Rings on ebay though, they offer a similar style of that micropave ring - mine is not quite a half eternity (maybe because my ring size is a big 'ol 8.5) and I would love to have a full eternity of it - I love that ring. It is SO sparkly. I've checked out LOGR's a lot but never pulled the trigger on one. I'll check them on ebay and see if I see one that is like mine..

I hope that helps!

is this a similar band? if so, any jeweler can order from uniquesettings and put their diamonds in it. I'm sure adwar.com also has something similar, lots and lots of jewelers order cast rings from uniquesettings, stuller and adwar, so you don't have to go custom, and more cost effective.

Thank you so much Waterlilly and D&T - you ladies are lovely!

Waterlilly, yeah, it's just as I feared - BN isn't stocking that lovely ring anymore. I was just drooling over it again in another thread, where you were showing off your scattered band (which I also considered, alongside a channel band, to go with my semi-bezel). I the black and white pic of all your three rings - it looks pro!

I was trying on bands yesterday, and found one very similar to yours, but it was ridicilously overpriced here in the UK, and the diamonds weren't all that great. Still, it sparkled like mad and confirmed that I am in love with this style. The channel might balance the semi-bezel better, but my heart wants the pave...

May I ask how thick is your band? The one I tried on is 2.7mm - perfect!

Btw, I would never guess your ring size is 8.5, as your rings look so nicely balanced. How big is your solitaire? It looks perfect on your hand.

I don't know whether to dare go for LOGR, as I'm not sure how nicely finished/good the diamonds are, and I really want my wedding band to be quality.

D&T , that setting looks a little more rounded, but maybe I am wrong. Perhaps Waterlilly could comment on that? Thanks so much for your suggestions, and do shout if you come across a similar ring anywhere.

Hi! Glad you saw the post!

Yes, you know that ring does look a little rotund...not sure though, could just be the size of the photo. Mine is 2.5mm.

You know, the prices on the LOGR one's are so low sometimes (one sold the other night for like $120 on auction, not BIN) it may be worth checking one out.

My solitaire is 1.1ct.

I'll keep searching around and see if I can find one - did I post the price somewhere....argh I'm trying to remember how much mine was - I want to say $400? and it's ~0.25ct

I'm really surprised they aren't offering it anymore, as soon as I saw it I had to have it!

 

[dinamit]

Thanks again Waterlilly, I really appreciate your help.

I just checked out the LOGR band, it does look nice. The diamonds are H colour, what colour are yours? My ER is an F - I wonder if the H coloured band would look out of place against it

So...now I have to post more pics

I've got a bazillion...I believe they are G-H color, my solitaire is H...

I think that the stones are so small, you can't really detect the color difference between H and F - maybe someone else might know better, but I'm guessing you wouldn't notice...

 

[dinamit]

Simply stunning!

Thanks for letting me perv again

I got a very reasonable quote from LOGR to make the band in 18k white gold, and upgrade the diamonds to F/G VS. I am tempted, but I don't know how much of a hassle it would be to return to China, if I didn't like it.

Btw, how thick is your e-ring? I can see it's a little thicker than the band.

[waterlilly]

maybe you could sell or gift it if you didn't like it? you aren't married yet, correct? if you didn't like it, it would be a great maid of honor or mother's gift perhaps?

My e-ring is 3mm.

I initially thought that I should have gotten a half or 3/4 eternity style, but since my finger is bigger - the row of stones sits along the part of my finger that is exposed...does that make sense? So no stones touch the sides of my fingers. On a normal day it won't spin but if my fingers are shrunken at all, it makes me a little nutty sometimes because I have to adjust it a lot.

I recently got a bezel eternity so have been wearing that with my ering and wearing the scattered and pave together as a rhr.

I really would love a full eternity, but worry about damaging the stones...with LOGR prices though, will probably get one one of these days!

They have an office/returning point in Boston, so making returns is incredibly easy. If you make a return, your loss would be $30 for customization fee if you've had it sized away from the standard 6.5 and shipping costs.

 

[dinamit]

Indy,I'm in the UK. Wish they had a drop-off here, but I suppose the bulk of their business is in the US, so I would need to cover the shipping charges to China for returns. I am a size 6.5, but the band I'm after is listed as a 6? Have you had any experience with them? Do you own any LOGR pieces, and if so, what do you make of them?

Waterlilly, please feel free to post as many pics as you'd like! Would love to see pics of your new bezel band too, if you have any. I bet the scattered and pave bands look wonderful together as RHRs. It's cool that you can wear same size rings on both hands. I think mine are at least 1/2 size apart.

My ER is also 3mm, so seeing your pictures gave me really good perspective on what my set might look like. Here is a link to my LIW thread, if you want to see it.

I share your concern about full eternities, I tried on a few and it felt really weird seeing diamonds at the back of my finger! I think the LOGR one is somewhere between a 1/2 and 3/4, so it's perfect in that sense.

We are going away tomorrow, so the wedding band saga continues in a couple of weeks!

Oh, YUM, Dinamit - your ring is fabulous!!

Did you choose the design or did your fi choose that?

I originally had a 6-prong, but have always been in love with bezels. After a year or so, my prongs were mangled and my husband had always said that the 6-prong was just because he didn't know what kind of setting I'd like, so I finally bit the bullet and had it set in the bezel.

I don't think I have pics of my new bezel band, will get some and post them! It's a unique style, I haven't seen one quite like it on here...
