Where to get french cut eternity band???

[Melanie611]

Hi all,

I''m looking for a french cut baguette eternity band. Any recs on where to find one? I''ve heard of Singlestone and Sheldon Speyer. Any experience with either?

I *think* KristyDarling got hers from Doyle & Doyle or maybe Lang Antiques? Somewhere in the SF/Bay area... but I haven't seen her posting in a while (come back KD!). But the other two vendors you mentioned both get high marks. I think those are BEEEUTIFUL bands. Look forward to seeing which you pick!

singlestone has some, too, I think.

ETA: Oops, haha, I somehow skipped over SS in your original post. Nevermind!

Hi Melanie,
Oooh, french cut baguette eternity band - how pretty! I just placed my order for the mini emerald cut band at Single Stone, so I can give you a full report with photos once I get the ring (in about 4 weeks). So far, Patti has been a delight to work with, and many people have had great success working with Ari as well. Kimikocat mentioned in my WB thread that she'd seen Single Stone rings at Lang's Antiques in SF, so perhaps they can give you a bit of feedback on their workmanship, and perhaps they're familiar with Sheldon Speyer rings as well.

Thanks pixley. So you finally decided on the SS rather than the Leon? Or are you getting both? Can''t wait for your review.

rainydaze, OMG that ring is gorgeous! And a great price too. But it''s a size too big. I''m only a size 5.

Melanie,

This is the band KristyDarling tried on : http://www.tias.com/9207/PictPage/1922356173.html

There are pics of it in her 3 stone ring thread: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/kristydarlings-3-stone-by-leon-mege.44363/

Look on pages 11 and 12. Gorgeous band!!!

I decided to go with SS first because their website says they're a limited production item. Evidently, the mini emerald cuts came in a lot that was purchased from Rolex and they're very high color and clarity. I'll be sure to post pics when it arrives, but thus far, they've been so easy to work with. If you have something in mind that you can't seem to find, def. give 'em a call. From what I've seen on PS, their work looks remarkably clean yet delicate and not so hard-edged that you lose that vintage-y feel. They also seem to have access to cutters who can deliver a wide variety of cuts, which would give you endless options.

I second SS -- altho I didn''t officially buy anything, I almost did (and they have an item I still want!) and Ari and Patti were GREAT! I will buy from them someday!

Good luck!
