how many stones on the WF scattered diamond band?

[katiedid]

Hi all, I decided to start a new thread on this, just to ask this question: How many stones are in the 4mm WF scattered diamond band? I can''t tell if there are 10 or 12. The total ct wt is .25, so I''m guessing there are 10 2.5 pt stones.

The Benchmark band I just received (which is really pretty by the way) has 12 stones, and is .24 ctw, so the stones are 2 pts each. I was a little surprised that the stones were not more noticeable. Of course, photos magnify everything and then in real life, the stones are never as large as you think they''ll be!

I have to decide in the next few days whether to keep the Benchmark band or return it and get the WF one. The WF one will be more $, but if the stones are indeed larger (and they are F/G, VS stones, whereas the Benchmark are G, SI), then the price difference might be worth it.

Please let me know how many stones are in the WF one and what point size they are (and if they are really sparkly!). I also wonder what the turnaround time is on the WF band. I''d love to be able to compare the two side by side before making the decision.

thanks!!

Happy to help, Katie.

The scattered band has 10 diamonds regardless of the band width. The size of the stones varies with the width as follows:

3mm width - approx .20 ctw (approx 2 pointers)
4mm width - approx .25 ctw (approx 2.5 pointers)
5mm width - approx .33 ctw (approx 3-pointers)

thanks Alj!! Sweet Lesley sent me an email today too, letting me know there were 10 stones, so It''s good to know they are 2.5 pters. How quickly could I get one in a size 6? I only have a 30 day period to return the Benchmark band and I''d love to be able to compare them side by side. My only other question is about the return policy if for some reason I decide to keep the Benchmark band.

I know the ACAs would be prettier than the stones in the Benchmark band. I just want to make sure there''s a significant difference since the WF band is more $ and if there''s not a noticeable difference, I should just make do with the Benchmark one.
