Baubles, Bling and Endless Things
Eternity bands… how do you feel about them? Are you Team Yes (give me ALL the diamonds!) or Team No (keep the diamonds on top, where I can enjoy them)? Admittedly, there are pros and cons of these endless rings of scintillating sparkle. Let’s make a list…
Pros:
- Eternity bands are trés romantic! The diamonds encircle the finger with no beginning and no end. Endless diamonds = endless love.
- If the ring spins around on the hand, no one would ever know! It looks the same all the way around.
- More diamonds means more sparkle!
- These unique beauties are often custom made, allowing for creativity and personalized style.
Cons:
- An eternity band can be more expensive than a band with diamonds only on a portion of the ring.
- Eternity bands are more difficult (and sometimes impossible) to size.
- With diamonds all the way around, the stones themselves see more wear and tear than a half-round style.
- Often, eternity bands are thicker to accommodate the depth of the stones. Some may find this to be uncomfortable.
Personally, I love eternity bands. I have been wearing my wedding ring since August of 2000, nearly twenty-four years. Perhaps I’m a hopeless romantic – I get the warm fuzzies just looking at my ring. I had a similar reaction when I saw this week’s featured piece for the first time.
Made entirely of platinum, this wide band reminds me of antique lace. The edges are scalloped, waving up and down. There are six small sections, each one features a unique combination of diamond shapes and sizes: one pear-shape, three marquises and five rounds. Combined, the six pear-shapes have a weight of .60 carat, the eighteen marquise diamonds have a weight of 1.50 carats, and the thirty rounds have a total weight of .60 carat. That’s 2.70 carats of endless sparkle!
Like Cinderella’s slipper, this beauty must be a perfect fit. It is a size six, and cannot be sized. The band has a silky-smooth interior and is quite comfortable to wear.
If you love a great eternity band AND you wear a size six, this band is simply too good to resist. It’s a stunning Mid Century Modern design, made in the 1960’s. Priced at $4,350.00, it’s available now. Give us a call to claim it today.
