YAY! I'm not a color girl as a rule. And I don't care for the vendor I bought this from (Dover Jewels) as I KNOW that they are hideously inaccurate and lax with their listings-- however they do have good pics.
SO... when I saw this band for sale I couldn't resist bidding. And I'm SO glad I did.
REAL stats (as usually Dover had completely inflated the stats)... The band is 14K white gold, no maker's hallmark, it has 16 points of diamonds G-Si1, and 27 points of high grade Emeralds (most likely treated) that glow like you wouldn't believe. [Dover had it listed as "80 points of emeralds and diamonds" -- considering the diamond and emerald weight are engraved right on the band --->
Dover]
Size 6.5. Realistic value on the band, without knowing who makes it, is about $900 -- not the $2,000 inflated value Dover estimated (does he use a dart board? LGK thinks so and I think she's right!)!
It's not going back though because I bid based on the pics and ignored Dover's "description" and I ADORE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For scale:
My pave wedding band is 2mm wide and 2 mm high. And my shank on my engagement ring is hovering at 1.8-1.9 these days (need calipers!). I didn't measure the band but I think it's about 2mm wide and 1.5mm high off the finger.
And YES! I finally figured out how to take decent pics: I have to take them in my car at 4:00 in the afternoon in Fall apparently with our Sony Cybershot.
