It turned out so perfect! I love love LOVE it! The band was custom from the Facets collection. They modified this ring http://thefacetscollection.com/item.cfm?item_id=1053&show_metal=18K White Gold to have milgrain. I also asked for alternating sapphires and diamonds in groups of three.

Everything on their end was great! They got the band to me in two weeks. They sent a cute silver key necklace with my ring as well. The only tiny negative is on my end. I ordered the band in a 4.5(my ering is a 4.25) since it is an eternity band... and there is *so* much extra room! I don't think I'd order up in size again. I bought this to wear with my ering so it should be fine. I've got plenty of room to grow now :lol:.

Thanks for looking!

Oh pixies, what a gorgeous band!! I love the delicate pink next to the diamonds, what a beautiful combination! And it looks perfect alongside your ering. A really stunning wedding set!

Thank you athenaworth, luv2sparkle, lizzyann01, and junebug17! I love the extra splash of color. I originally wanted sapphire sides. This is a good way to incorporate color as it allows flexibility. If I don't want to wear pink one day, then I can just wear my ering solo. I think it compliments the JbEG ring nicely. I'd like one of each color:naughty: !

EEeeeeep! I want one too!!! That's sooo pretty, love the delicate milgrain and the beautiful pinks. I think the 3 alternating stones is very pleasing to the eye. Was the price a little less since it has sapphires or did it end up being the same price range since they had to milgrain? Congratulations!

I forgot to mention that the band is 18kt white gold.

Sandycheeks, diamonds and milgrain in a 4.5 is $768, diamonds and sapphire with milgrain is $719. The plain channel band is $691 in a 4.5 so the milgrain costs about $77. I guess that'd make a sapphire and diamond band in that size around 642. So a little cheaper, not a lot.

What a wonderful combination Pixies!! It looks like your e-ring and the band are just made for each other in every way, as if they have been made by the same jeweller.

Is there nothing Facets could do about the size?

Thanks dinamit! I didn't think it was worth mentioning since it is the size I ordered. I really didn't want to go smaller since I planned on wearing it with another ring and didn't want it to be snug. I think I might get sizing beads put in if the band is still loose come summer. That way if I ever need the extra space I can just have them removed instead of getting a new band. I ordered up since that's what many people suggest when ordering eternity bands since they can't be resized and I'd rather have extra space than not enough. I think I was just surprised by how much extra space a quarter size had! When I get a plain band it will be a 4.25 though!

I love the wedding band, and the colors of the sapphire is so delicate, and light, is it pretty accurate IRL (BECUASE I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!)? I also really like how you tied your e-ring in with the extra details of milgrain. Just GORGEOUS!!!!

Thank you so much for posting pictures of your lovely new band. I never realized how beautiful their pink sapphires are. They're a just right shade of pink!

Thanks D&T! The sapphires are a *bit* more vivid as I think the pictures wash them out a little bit. They are like an amped up baby pink shade as opposed to hot, magenta/fuchsia pink. The sapphires are really pretty. Thanks for the compliments. I think the milgrain really helps to soften the look of the ring. Facets did a great job!

Thanks for all the kind words Yssie, gemgirl, yennyfire, lknvbr4, dandyandi, and diamondseeker2006!

Leah at Facets was always quick to answer my questions and I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again!

Such a pretty band! It looks amazing with your e-ring. I like the 3 sapphires/3 diamonds pattern--it makes it a little more visually interesting, and the pink sapphires look to be such a nice color.
