Hi all. Some of you followed my surprise acquisition of a 3 carat old mine just a few short weeks ago. I had it set in my old setting as a temporary home. I bought the setting as a set in 2002 at the Mart in Atlanta. It originally had a matching band but I sadly lost that about two years ago. I didn't want to spend a ton of $$ on a band right now because: 1. I don't know how I am going to reset this stone, and 2. I just bought a rock and I think my husband was going to file for divorce if I spent too much more!
Anyway I found a bright cut pave platinum band on eBay that was a preowned piece. TCW is quite low, I think around .15, but I paid $225 for it after negotiation. It's not a perfect match, but for the price I think it's alright. And I have a back-up band to wear in the future after I have this stone reset and a matching band made.
