Had a milestone birthday and was feeling naughty. 
I was out of town on an assignment on my birthday, feeling lonely and stressed, and browsing eBay as usual. It was a perfect storm. Fiance bought me a gorgeous e-ring recently, plus a diamond pendant for Christmas, so I'm not asking him for any more jewelry. But that didn't mean I couldn't treat myself... *cue evil laughter*
I'd been eyeing a few different eternity bands for a RHR. I was deciding between a 2mm full eternity single cut and a 2mm half eternity full cut, when suddenly I stumbled across this 3mm full eternity full cut band. (Confused yet?) It was almost twice the price of the other two bands, but was also almost three times the ctw. And then, the single cut eternity sold. So I took that as my sign to blow the budget and buy the 3mm eternity before it was gone too!
Reading that SMTB thread about regretting the one that got away was probably a factor haha.
1.30ctw 14k WG diamond eternity band, listed as F, VS2 by the seller. It's stamped on the inside with 585, Made in USA, some sort of serial number, and a jeweler's stamp/maker's mark that I don't recognize. Very white, very sparkly (doesn't show well in these photos). One stone has strong blue fluorescence, two have medium fluor, and one has faint/med fluor. Fun to see that. Looked at the melee through an Ideal Scope and was happy to see that some of them appear "ideal cut" though most of them are just pretty good. Still think it was worth the price -- although curious what you guys would consider a 'good price' for a ring with these stats (assuming it really is F/G, VS)... Maybe I'll ask that question over in RT. I plan to take it to an appraiser soon.

and I love it with your scatter band too. Beautiful. Happy birthday!
Not sure what IDJ would quote for a similar band. I may ask them to make me a similar one eventually as a gift for my mom -- she would need hers in platinum though because she has nickel allergy.
