Whiteflash vs ID Jewelry eternity ring

[md1984]

Hello everyone,

I am a long time Pricescope lurker, but this is the first post of my own! This forum was such a fantastic resource for me when choosing my engagement ring some years back and I was so grateful for all the pictures and information on other people's posts.

It's been a while since I've had occasion to buy diamond jewellery, but I will be turning 30 in a couple of months time and my husband has very sweetly offered to buy me a present to celebrate the occasion. At first I was thinking of a watch, but then what better excuse to acquire a new piece of bling!

I have been looking at eternity rings to wear on my right hand - middle or ring finger. The ring would be worn on its own (at least for now!) The ones I am drawn to at present are:

and

http://idjewelryonline.com/product_info.php?cPath=53_138&products_id=71698 (but customised to 3/4 rather than full eternity so it's possible to re-size later in life)

My budget is around US$2000 (I am in England, so I've budgeted for tax on top of that!)...

I just wondered whether anyone had an opinion on these choices, ID Jewelry vs Whiteflash, any issues I need to consider, alternatives, etc.?

Thank you for your time!

WhiteFlash diamond quality is usually going to be superior. That would be my personal choice for diamond jewelry.

Thank you, DiamondSeeker! That is really helpful. That's the one that the sensible bit of me was leaning towards, as it is maybe more classic and should hopefully stand the test of time. Thanks again for taking the time to reply. (Your engagement ring is amazing btw...!!)

I absolutely love my eternity band from IDJ! It's a 2.11 ct full eternity and it's so beautiful. They are also amazing about working with budgets. And IMHO I like the IDJ band you posted better. However whiteflash has amazingly beautiful diamonds. I don't think you can go wrong either way

I choose WF because I wanted the ACA level diamonds.

The IDJ one looks beautiful and unique...may not be as in style years from now though.

Thanks!

I actually wrote in my earlier post that I thought the WF band was more timeless, and then erased it because my main point was about diamond quality and not so much about style!

Thank you very much to everyone who has replied. It is so helpful to get opinions from people who have done their research, rather than just boring my long-suffering husband with endless pictures! Candygrl - your eternity ring is beautiful. I think maybe overall I prefer the style of the IDJ band, but that the other might have more longevity. Who knows whether style or substance will win me over. I'll try to take pics if and when I finally feel comfortable making a decision!! Thanks again...

OP - any chance you can wear a size 8.25? There is a listing on DiamondBistro for a WF bead-set ER & band - maybe the seller would sell the band to you separately? Her Preloved thread: https://www.pricescope.com/forum/pr...ffany-style-bead-set-wedding-set-t201142.html and the DiamondBistro listing: http://diamondbistro.com/category/2.../38383/Title-removed-do-not-use-ALL-CAPS.html

I'd pick WF for sure. I've got an eternity from ID but I feel you will get better quality from Whiteflash. Some items from the ID haven't been eye clean in the past but others have.
