Bwahahahaha! You know me so well, @foxinsox!Fixed it for you
I am little confused. Would you mind clarifying about it not being a match for my e-ring?
Thank you! And I am sure she would. Just ask for The Millie Band.Ah-Mazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely PERFECT with your diamond ring & it's so beautiful I am looking at it thinking mmm.... I wonder if Caysie will make ME one of these??
I'm happy to share the beauty.Sadly her band is smaller so I can only wear it alone or else my fingers swell up. But I do wear it on occasion.

And again, thank you all so much for the wonderful compliments! I am just so amazed by everything on this little ring. There is so much detail! I will try to get some additional pictures from the side angles too, probably tomorrow. It's just got so much going on, yet flows perfectly so it doesn't seem busy. I'm so smitten and thankful I left the worry behind and went ahead with this custom project.

Gah, just reread my reply and my meaning was totally not clear! Sorry!
I meant that it is a match in that it coordinates with and complements it beautifully but it's not identical eg not matchy-matchy

Awww, that makes my heart happy. I’d say go for it! I think she’d make a great stacker too.If I'm this in love with this band just by looking at it online, I can only imagine how deeply in love YOU are!!!!!

Ah, now I’m tracking.
Yes, we were trying for complimentary but not matching. It was about marrying the two styles (Eleanor + my Grandma’s ring) together. I think she did such a wonderful job! I kinda don’t wanna go to bed cuz when I do, I have to take Millie off.

Thank you!
I was hoping you’d see this and know that your baby is loved and now has a BFF, too.
I love, love, love that she is loved by you and has a BFF

A few quick shots with my macro so you can see more details, especially the french cuts.

Does the design motif go about halfway around?

Thank you so much!I am loving the band and how it looks with your ering. The fact that it's inspired by your grandmother's wedding ring makes it even more amazing
You’re so sweet. Thanks!! I like how these came out, for the most part. I had fun shooting them.
Yes, just a smidge past halfway. The ring is a 5.5, for reference. It has the center station with four frenchies, then a marquise shaped station on either side with three rounds each, and finally a single frenchie at the end on either side.
And I’m glad you’re enjoying the pics! I’d love to find out if you get one too.

And thanks so much for the details about the stones in the design. Is the yellow gold 14K or 18K?I'm really hoping that this will fall within my budget. Crossing fingers!

Mine is 18k and platinum to match Eleanor. I would think the price would adjust at 14k. Oh and the frenchies were custom cut by Yoram, so that contributed a little to cost as well.I'm waiting to hear back from Caysie.

Got it, thank you! Do you think little rounds would work where the frenchies are?

For sure! We used frenchies because of the facets on my AVC. But I think rounds would be good too.

Sorry to be a but-inski and threadjack, but @KristyDarling do you still have that luscious OEC in that divine BE setting? A Millie with little oecs instead of frenchies would be lovely!

Not a buttinsky and I'm flattered you remembered! Yes, I do still have it and wear it almost every day! I agree that Millie would be beautiful next to my ring! Since Millie seems so versatile, I was thinking about pairing it with a couple other rings as well.
I know, right?? I'm eagerly awaiting Caysie's response!!

Remember? There is no way I could unsee or forget it. Burned into my brain like a laser!
Anyway, let us know how Caysie responds please Apologies again for the threadjack!

Oh my goodness! I've been waiting to see your beautiful band but haven't checked PS in a while! What a surprise to see it here! Its spectacular! First, just love that it was inspired by your grandmother's lovely band. I also love how the shapes work with your Eleanor! Millie is so delicate yet the amount of detail is astonishing! Can't stop looking at your photographs!
