just ordered my WF scattered diamond band!

[katiedid]

So if you''ve been following along...
I wanted the WF scattered diamond band.
When I got around to ordering it (after getting a bonus at work recently), the price had jumped way up.
I found a similar band made by Benchmark and ordered it.
I finally got it this week (on Monday) and it was REALLY pretty but the stones were very small and not super sparkly.
I started hounding Lesley at WF about their band since they had reduced the price back down after I''d ordered the Benchmark one.
I only have 30 days from ship date to return the Benchmark band but wanted to compare the 2 side by side. And I''m going out of the country on business at the end of the month so have to get this taken care of NOW!
I ordered the WF one today! It''s the 4mm 14k white gold, .25 ctw, 10 stones total (2.5 pts each), ACAs, F/G, VS
The Benchmark band is 4mm, .24 ctw, 12 stones (2 pts each), G, SI1

I wish I could post photos of the Benchmark one. My camera is in the shop. I''m going to try to use the older camera we have and see what I can get with that. Then when the WF one gets here (and I send back the Benchmark one--I''m pretty sure this is what will happen...), I''ll post photos of it! I''ve even thought about going ahead and sending the Benchmark one back, but I want to be SURE the WF one will be better.

Who else ordered the WF band when they dropped the price back down????

I bet the WF one will be sparklier for sure-I have the tiny ACAs in my setting and they are super sparkly! I''m glad the price dropped so now you can get what you originally wanted!

me too thing2of2! thanks. That''s why I''m thinking there''s very little chance I''ll get the WF one and like the Benchmark one better! I could go ahead and get my credit started on that one while the WF is on it''s way to me. But I''m so cautious...

I did I did!!

But you already know that, I just wanted to share again

And, my ring is in the country! I just have to figure out if I can go and pick it up this weekend, otherwise I''ll have to wait until Monday for the FedEx man.

Katie, don''t send the other back yet, it would be great to get comparison pics.

I''d definitely wait to compare the two. Just to be on the safe side! It won''t be long before you get the WF one!

true--unless I get too close to my trip, I''ll keep the Benchmark one and compare them IRL! I can''t find our old camera. Darnit!

 

[katiedid]
