WF Danielle Jazz ring opinions

[PumpkinPie]

another vote for without milgrain

 

[lizzyann]

Thanks for your feedback Maevie! Sounds like everyone agrees to "no milgrain" I am curious to see if they can do it in a 2pt without doing custom.

 

[lovemybling]

I am voting NO milgrain. You ering is nice a clean keep your new band the same.

Thanks Gecko, I think I am going to go with the 3/4 version like yours. I have WF looking into whether they can do the 2 point version non-custom so we shall see. Do you know the height of the ring by any chance?

According to this thread (https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/paging-geckodani.114674/):

"Okay, according to my orginal inquiry to WF, my adwar bezel band is:
Adwar W3327
Approx 2.3mm shank
Estimated 1.8mm in height

Which looks right. I held it up to a ruler and it came in a just slighty under 2mm tall. Does that help?"

Thanks again dani, you are a dani jazz ring specialist! Well then again...the ring is named after you!!!! I am so excited. Have you ever regretted not getting the full eternity? I still think I am going to go with the 3/4 version due to sizing down the road, but I have always liked the "idea" of having an eternity band.

Lovemybling, thanks for your comment. You are right, my ring is shiny and clean so I should keep this band the same!

Nope, I''ve never once regretted not getting the full eternity. I wear my rings on the snug side, so it barely spins. And I''m constantly readjusting the silly things anyway, so putting it rightside up isn''t a big deal.

Thanks again for all of your info Dani! I am just waiting to hear the verdict on the 2 pointer then I think I am going to pull the trigger. Do you think that there is room to engrave my sons name and date of birth in the inside of the back of the ring where there are no diamonds. His name is Evan so it isn''t too long plus his birthday.

I think so. The only issue might be that the metal type stamp and WF hallmark are in there too. Not sure if they''d just move them or leave them out?

I would guess they'd just move them. I have a bezel eternity band from WF as well, with 3.5-point ACA melee, and they just squeezed in a teensy "PT" and Whiteflash logo stamp between the diamonds. I thought my band (full eternity) actually ended up being very reasonably priced, so if you do want bigger stones, I think it might end up costing less than you think it might.

ETA: I like no milgrain--maybe because that's what I have

. WF actually ended up accidentally putting milgrain on mine the first time when I had asked for it without, so I saw it both with and without milgrain, and personally liked it without much better. Like geckodani said, it looks less cluttered.

 

[lizzyann]

kitty bean, thanks for posting. Very interesting. I am waiting to hear on if they can do the 2 pointers non-custom. Was your 3.5 pointers custom or not? I''m willing to go 3/4 if they can do the 2 pointers. How wide is your 3.5 point bezel band? I am going to see if I can find your thread on it!

Here''s a link to my thread about it. I think it is about 3.4 mm wide. I like how it looks by itself and how it doesn''t compete with my e-ring when I wear them together. Its total width is very close to the diameter of the side stones in my e-ring (3.5 mm).

My band was custom, but they made it with an Adwar cast. I also have small fingers, so any ring I wanted had to be made custom in my size.

Here is the thread.
https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-wf-platinum-bezel-eternity-wedding-band.115715/

I looked it up, because I may be interested in getting one myself. I like the bezel diamonds, because all diamonds and metal (including those of adjcent rings) are protected, and they are comfortable. I much prefer 3.5 pts over 2 pts, because I like bigger diamonds. 1 pt has a diameter of about 1.35 mm, and 3.5 pt has about 2.10mm. So I guess the width of the bezel band is about 3.5mm. kitty bean''s bezel ring looks daintier than a channel ring of the the same 3.5mm size.

According to kitty bean''s thread, her setting is an Adwar cast, so maybe the cost is not too high.

Well, I used to own a danielle jazz bezel, then I got a few other pieces in replacement, I am now in the process of getting my 5 pointers recycled and set into the Adwar 5 point bezel and should have pictures next week, but from what I could remember, like Geckodani says, its shimmery, and its quite dainty I think, but if you are interested in stacking it, then it could work, however it might look a bit lost next to your wedding band just my opinion though. To keep in the same style as your other rings, I would vote for no milgrain. If you still want milgrain, you can always add it later.

 

[FancyDiamond]

Your center stone is huge, so it can take larger size melees. Go back to the photos of the bezel diamond bands and re-examine the proportion of the melees with respect to the center stone. I am afraid 1 point may look too small for your huge center stone. Both 2-pt and 3.5-pt look good with your ering, but I prefer 3.5-pt based on kitty bean''s (whose set which look gorgeous BTW with perfect proportion). Remember, even if your current channel set band is also 3.5mm (guessing the width), the Danielle bezel band has a daintier looking style with less metal. Therefore, you can safely increase the size of your melees to 3.5-pt and have extra bling and fire.

Can''t wait to see your new 5-pt bezel eternity band.
I am thinking about getting a diamond band to go with my ering. Have been looking at 9-stone, U-prong of 15-pts, but I need to wear a thin spacer to proect the metal and diamonds. If there is a bezel eternity band with large enough melees, I may consider it. Hence, I''ll be waiting for your reveal.

FD- I feel we have much in common when we buy jewelery- much assessment or rather... overanalyzing

(sometimes, I just wing it though

- extreme ends at times...lol) I''ll for sure post pictures

I can''t help over-analyzing. Don''t want to be stuck with expensive mistakes. Got lots of those in the past.

I hear you... I know what you mean (hence the recycle project x2

), and I like that about you FD
Sorry Lizzy- end [threadjack]

 

[lizzyann]

no prob guys, do you knoe what size stones snlee used in her bev k band? On my calculations it is prob 2.5 pointers. I love how museys set looks tho and hers is 2 pointers and her ascher is 2 carats. My princess is 1.5 carats so i''m thinking the two or 3pt version may work as well. I need to get to tiffany''s! Another overanalyzer here!

 

[Dreamer_D]

The casting company Adwar, who makes the cast that WF uses as far a as I know, does not make a 2point version, so it would need to be custom. I was considering a 3point version using the Adwar cast last summer and was quoted approx $1200 at that time for wg 3/4 eternity. That ring was estimated to be 2.5mm wide and 2.. thick! Hope that helps!

For your e-ring I would go with the 3 point version for sure. The other will get "lost".

 

[lizzyann]

Hi Dreamer, I''m glad you popped by. I just got the quote for a 3/4 3 pointers in platinum it is $1475 which is quite a bit higher than I was looking to spend unfortunately. I am going to stop by a local jewelers now actually to try some things on for size comparison. I truly want to wear this as a stacker with my current set so I am thinking the smaller version may be fine. Do you like the bezel with my set better than the shared prong?

 

[lizzyann]

Ok so here is the update...I stopped by my local jewelers again and i do not care for the shared prong bands and I tried on a milgrain bezel that was about 2.43mm wide, size 6.5, and it was .75cttw. So I''d guess each diamond is .03. However I do not like any other band stacked with my current set but I did think this one looked OK with my engagement ring. But I LOVED

it on its own and when I added other stacking rings with it, it looked gorgeous. So I am now thinking that I am going to buy it for my right hand and add more bands for more babies or anniversaries etc. But now that I am mostly going to wear it on my own, I''m thinking I can save some $$$ and go the 18kg white gold route. I am having WF quote me on 18kg, 3/4 and full eternity with milgrain, 3pointers. i went to adwar and I noticed there are some already with milgrain so I am not sure if I am better off to just order it with milgrain already on it or have WF do it in house. The one I saw at the local jewelers was a very slight dainty miligrain. very pretty. What do you think guys? Thanks so much for all your help!!!

 

[lizzyann]

oh one more thing...the band was 2.47 mm wide that I tried on at the local jewelers and the WF 1pt band is 2.3 so now I am wondering since I won''t be stacking it with my current set I might be able to get away with the 1pt version in 18kg eternity with milgrain!!!

I think as a stacker you will run into the problem of the thin band being too low to the finger. I think the Danielle band is only 1.5mm thick. When talking with Lesley about it (was considering it for my baby ring) she mentioned that it is *very* delicate, almost not there it is so delicate. I think it works great with a "smaller" diamond, under 1 ct, in a simple solitaire like Dani has, but I really think it would be lost with your e-ring and especially stacked.

Have you considered a half eternity? Brings the cost down.

Just say the update. I think the milgrain offered by WF would still be the stock setting from Adwar anyways

I think a 3pt band would be perfect.

 

[Dreamer_D]

And I would still like to see how your set looks with a very thin wb. I think it would make the e-ring POPOPOP

Thickness, remember that consideration as well when you think about it.

 

[EHR2009]

Lizzy...In answer to your question about whether I have a bezel band from the other thread, I don''t

It is on my "wish list", however! I am excited to see how yours looks!!

 

[lizzyann]

Hi Dreamer, Gecko said that her 1pt band is 1.8mm thick according to adwar. I''ll ask about the 3pt version once I get the costing in.

EHR, thanks for letting me know. I was curious as you have the best stackers!!!

 

[lizzyann]

For a full eternity 3pt version with milgrain, I''m thinking this setting adwar

For 3/4 eternity 3pt version with milgrain, I''m thinking this setting

I love snee''s bev k and I think the above ones from adwar resembles this one the best. bev kadwar 3/4

What do you all think? Thanks for bearing with me!
