Spacer band, antique/vintage piece

[beau13]

I have been looking for a narrow (2mm) band to wear between my new 5 stone and solitaire. It seems the diamonds on the 5 stone are chewing away at the prongs on my pretty solstice head (leaving little dents). So..I stumbled across this cute band on E-bay (of course), and got it for $ 25! 14k white gold...has a nice thicker profile to it, not flat like some bands out there. The vendor will be polishing it up for me, and when I get it, I will be sure to post hand pics, or all three rings together.

Pretty!

I found a yellow gold vintage ring at an antique store here locally and love it.. I dont wear it very often because my set is white... but I love the little engravings it still has on it My ring is circa hm.. I think early hundreds

If you want to wear it with your set, why not have the YG ring rhodium dipped?

I can''t wait to see it with your set, I was thinking of doing something similar with my set. What a steal

 

[mommy2iz]

what a great bargain! and so unique! love those little treasures. can''t wait to see more pics with your set.

Thanks ladies..I need a little something in between the diamond rings..I don''t want to damage my solitaire setting anymore than it already is.

If it doesn''t look good with the two, I will wear it on my right hand as a stacker with my bezel set band, which hasn''t sold yet

. So..for $25, I''m sure it isn''t a waste of money!!

beau, I definitely think you''re our "great deal" Queen. Where do you find these things? Ohmygosh, for twenty five bucks?
A steal!

I''d considered doing that a long while ago.. but I love it yellow.. isn''t that silly?

Not silly at all..I liked yellow gold for a long time, when I tried on white gold, I thought it looked funny. Now that I have been wearing it, I guess I''m used to it..and like it..but there''s something about yellow gold,it''s so rich looking!!

Try telling that to my husband..he thinks I buy far too much..period! lol
I don't really need anything,when I start "looking"..but I can't help looking when I have the time, and If I see something that is too good to pass up, that I could use..I can't help but buy it. I have found many fine rings on E-bay..if I add up what I paid for them all..I still think it would amount to far less than what some people pay for ONE ring! My best find to date, is my 5 stone diamond band..I still can't believe how beautiful it is...and how little I paid for it..SCORE !! (hubby had to agree with me on that one..especially when I told him I saved him thousands!

The stones in beau''s new ring are really gorgeous, the stone setting was done very evenly, and the goldsmithing was impeccably done. It''s an Ex/Ex/Ex of a different kind in my book!

$25?!?!? WOW! That is the deal of the century. Congrats.

Thanks for posting the link..I only seen the request now. I''m glad you like my ring...I really LOVE it to..and was floored by the quality & craftsmanship of the ring too!

 

[beau13]

WOW..I just received this ring today, and what another GREAT E-bay find. It''s so pretty, the pattern, lots of gold, and for $25, GOSH..lunch with a friend cost me more than that today! I took some pics and wil post when I find some time (I need to upload them to the computer and crop them a bit). Stay tuned..

Can''t wait to see it!

1. I LOVE vintage spacers (though I''m biased) and
2. I love a great bargain!!

 

[Kelli]

Very pretty! Can''t wait to see it paired with your set!

 

[beau13]

You can see the pattern in this profile pic

 

[beau13]

another...

.and lastly, together separating my diamond band and solitaire, to prevent rubbing. It''s narrow enough that is doesn''t take away from the other tow rings. The 3mm band I had, made the whole combination too wide. You don''t even see the middle band when looking at my hand in person. (which is what I was going for). Hmmmm..I really like it!

 

[beau13]

oops..here''s the pic!

 

[MMT]

Looks perfect with your set. I think I need to look into doing the same thing.

 

[chiquitapet]

Looks beautiful. Fits right in!

 

[beau13]

Last pic (This might be a more clear pic of the band)??

 

[ladymentha]

2mm band doesn''t overpower the other rings. Btw I love your 5 stone ring. It is so pretty...

Thanks LadyMentha, and welcome to the boards!
