Should I keep this two-tone diamond eternity band?

Having trouble deciding! Total ctw is around .6, diameter is just over 2mm, the band is 14k gold and either platinum or white gold. Has really pretty engraving and fine milgrain. I kind of like the idea of wearing just this and a plain gold band--it goes well with a lot of the bigger rings in my collection but not my engagement ring (not pictured) which has an O-P center stone. The eternity band stones are much whiter. It was around $700, haven't been able to find anything comparable. I was hoping the stones were old euros but I think the band is too new for that, they are more like full cut rounds I think.

Let me know what you think! Do you think the white metal in the middle section blends in too much with the stones? Do channel set eternity bands look dated?

I think its beautiful!! Not a typical channel set, it looks like the diamonds are actually bead set? Either way, its timeless to me, not dated at all (when I think of a "dated" channel set, I think of tons of metal with only the tables of the diamonds peaking thru the channels) Reminds me of the Tiffany Legacy band, which is gorgeous too!

Thank you! Its a good stacker--just not sure if $700 is too much to pay for a band I'd stack but on the other hand I think I'd wear it a lot.
 
I really like the band! Versatile and classy. Classic but not dated

No, $700 to me is a steal....its a full eternity? Ill bet its 18k and platinum as well, it looks like a quality piece.

They are beadset actually! and the "channel" walls are super thin and milgrained so I maybe thats why it doesn't look too 80s. I just looked up the Tiffany Legacy band, so pretty and you're right very similar. I wish I knew who made my version. Its marked "BKJ" but I haven't had any luck looking it up.

Oh good! I'm glad $700 sounds like a good price. It is full eternity. It's marked 585 so I think thats 14k gold but no markings for the white gold so I wonder if that means the white part is also 14k. It seems really well made to me too.

I think so! If you decide to keep it, id just take it to a local jeweler and make sure everything is as it should be. I did that with a preowned eternity that bought thag had no markings. Im so glad i did!!
Yes, Im pretty sure 585 means 14k. Im suprised it looks like 18k to me.
 
I love it! Looks like a good buy to me and plays nicely with all your rings.
 
Keep!!
 
585 is an European stamp for 14k.
Beautiful ring!

You got a deal and I think it looks gorge with your ering.
 
I would keep it! You have lots to wear it with and its really pretty! KEEP!
 
It's too pretty not to keep, and looks great in all the pairings!
 
I’m a fan! Make sure you love the diamonds tho. I think it’s a classic style and the price is good if you like the quality of the diamonds. I live how the width matches up with the rest Of your rings.
 
I like it! Price is good too.
 
Keep! That is a workhorse band. It'll go with just about everything. What could be better?
I know this because I wish it was mine :bigsmile:

hopefully I can take it to a jeweler once they open up again in my area. I'd love to get a second opinion on the stones too and carat weight too--they look nice and white and clear to me. .6 seems like a low carat weight for a full eternity size 6.5 ring but maybe thats right.

oh wow, good to know! So do you think that means it was likely not made in the U.S.?

We must have similar taste--I love your set! Ideally I'd like to get a band like yours, one day! I looked back at your thread, is your band one of the 7 stone asters or was it custom designed to go with your ring? Its a gorgeous set! I think it would be so hard to find matching oecs of that size though so i'm hoping that this band I have scratches the 3mm oec itch until I can buy a band like yours.
 
I think it is a keeper! Very versatile with lots of your other rings as a band or as a stacker!

The diamonds look pretty good under magnification, i think. (so hard to photograph!) I like the width too, not too wide, not too thin.

Thank you, we do, we do, and back at you! Mine is a 9 stone aster 3mm oec moissy warm color band. I asked her to make it a 9 stone and I'm sure Julia would be happy to do the same for you. The trouble of finding well matched stones in that size+color+cost+time was exactly why I went the route I did, and I'm super pleased with the results. They are fabulous little pillows of sparkly goodness.

I think that is most likely. I'm in Europe and all my gold are stamped with 585(14k) or 750(18k).
 
I love all of your iterations of the new ring stacked! It’s a classic that will always be in style and it goes with everything or alone. I would keep it. Very pretty!!
 
I really, really like it. It goes well with everything you have.
