I was supposed to put this under the tree for Christmas, but who am I kidding?! I love this band, more every second. This is the wedding band I should have started with 16 years ago, but too bad Pricescope wasn't around in 1997. ;-)

The band is just under 3mm wide and 1.75 mm (about) deep. The stones are about H color. It's a size 4.5.

I love how the flashes of light are soooo subtle, but when I look at the band, it is still so gorgeous! Like I was saying, the carre cut facets wink at you compared to the sharp flashes of light from the MRB right next to it.

From really far away, you aren't even sure if the carre cut band is diamonds. It reminds me of my mom's engraved platinum wedding band. But up close, you can definitely tell they are diamonds. When I looking at asschers initially, people at the stores kept telling me I needed to go bigger with stepcuts since you cannot see the faceting when they are small. My total carat weight is under 2, and I can definitely see the faceting, enough for me anyway.

The MRB that I am wearing with it is an F, and I can definitely tell the difference in the color of the stones. It doesn't bother me at all because the styles of the diamonds and the type of light they reflect are so different that they do not at all compete. My two rings do not match, at all. But I love that they don't match and I love them together. LOVE!!!! This is permanent on my finger now. I even love it alone!! No big rock with it. To get this off me, you would have to pry it off my cold, dead fingers. Ok, maybe if I have to clean it...

Alright, enough blah, blah, blah. Pics. Sorry, but I took it in every kind of lighting I could. Be forewarned. I went overboard on the pics. I apologize and thank you for understanding in advance...

Crappy desk top lighting, with yellow walls behind (smart huh?)

Thank you PSer's, for understanding and indulging me. I know this is just a band, but thanks for letting me go crazy. ;-)

Hi asscher_girl, you and your ring are my step cut role model. So your kind words mean a lot coming from you.

Here is the jeweler's contact info. Hope it's not against rules to post this information.

yjk_card.jpg

Out of the 80-100 jewelers at the expo, he was the only one that showed a carre cut band, only carre cut. The one that I originally saw was just a half. I asked him to make me a full. Just tell him that you liked the carre cut eternity band that Patty and Darryl purchased at the San Mateo Jewelry expo at Thanksgiving.

Hope he can make you something that you will like.

Thank you NonieMarie. And thanks for thinking my fingers are long. :lol: They look so stubby to me. I am really happy to have another stacker to add. I think I want to add to the point just before it restricts bending. ;-)

So perfect, the carre, the channel, the milgrain!!!! :love:

Thank you Asscherhalo, your asscher is so stunning. It's one of my favorites. I just looove staring at the stepcuts in your stone.

Thanks Junebug17, I am trying to combat DSS. This carre band is helping. I needed to tuck the ering away for a couple of days, and presto, it comes back bigger than ever. :lol: Glad your beautiful halo is working for you so far... :)

Aww, thanks LLJsmom! I think the Carre band would play up my e-ring nicely (I'd wear the carre band on my right hand though). Thanks so much for posting the details, I'll send him an email. Are you in the SF Bay area as well? I've only been to the San Mateo show once, probably 5 years ago. I always forget about it but darn, I wish I would have gone to the last one!

Asscher girl, good or bad, I'm telling you anyway. Tomorrow is the last day of the jewelry expo. It's at the San Mateo expo center. Maybe you can make it? I know Jeff will still be there... :Up_to_something: I will probably go back one more day, gotta admit.
