Hopedream''s Eternity Ring!!

[HopeDream]

My First diamond ring came today via Fedex!

I purchased her second hand online, and she came with an AGI (Accredited Gemological Institute) Appraisal report
(I''m unsure of the accuracy and proficiency of AGI)

(graded as mounting permits)
18k white gold size 5
14 round brilliants 14 princess cuts 0.51 TCW
Color I
Clarity SI1
Cut, polish, symmetry: all Very good

I wear her on my left middle finger.

 

[HopeDream]

I love the thinness of the bezels relative to the stone size.

There are traces of millgrain which has all but worn off, and some of her creamy natural white gold is starting to show through her rhodium plating.

She also has a few scratches.

But I love her!

Here''s her profile, I love the grooves that differentiate the princess cuts from the RBs

 

[HopeDream]

I bought her to replace my old CZ and sterling silver eternity ring that I bought a while ago when I first wanted one.

I found I didn''t like how thick and linear the edges of the channels were on the chanel set ring.

I always felt a bit cheap knowing that it was CZ and Sterling

Beautiful! I always loved the look of an eternity on the middle finger.
