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:

  1. Eternity bands are trés romantic!  The diamonds encircle the finger with no beginning and no end.  Endless diamonds = endless love. 
  2. If the ring spins around on the hand, no one would ever know!  It looks the same all the way around.  
  3. More diamonds means more sparkle!
  4. These unique beauties are often custom made, allowing for creativity and personalized style.

Cons:

  1. An eternity band can be more expensive than a band with diamonds only on a portion of the ring.  
  2. Eternity bands are more difficult (and sometimes impossible) to size.  
  3. With diamonds all the way around, the stones themselves see more wear and tear than a half-round style.
  4. 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.

Pick of the Week Holiday Edition – Volume 4

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Eternity bands – customers either love them or they don’t.  Personally, I am a big fan.  I adore the sentimental aspect of the endless pattern.  Symbolizing the eternal commitment that you and your significant other have made, a never-ending ring of stones seems so appropriate.  

The primary concern about these beauties is sizing.  Some think that not only are you vowing to love someone throughout all eternity, you’re also vowing to stay the same size as well!  There’s no question that some eternity bands cannot be sized.  However, in the hands of a skilled expert, many can be adjusted if necessary.  

For the fourth piece in our holiday series, we’ve chosen this 18-karat white gold diamond vine ring by Beverley K.  There’s so much to love about this botanical beauty.  Currently measuring a size 6, this ring wraps the finger in an unending band of coiled vines and leaves.  Delicate milgrain beading decorates every line and curve of the band adding an oh-so-vintage vibe to this modern, new piece.

Featuring two sizes of leaves, the eight larger ones contain a round brilliant diamond.  In total, these diamonds have a weight of .13 carat.  Dainty and darling, this feminine band has been featured on our site for $1,375.00.  Although it is still a current offering in the Beverley K line, we have decided to drop the price on this one.  It’s now available for just $950!  That’s a discount of more than 30% – do not sleep on this sale!  It’s the only one we have and it won’t last at this price.  Click over to our site and hit that buy button.

Baubles, Bling and Stackable Things

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times…  I am a sucker for unique wedding bands.  Thin or thick, plain or with diamonds, vintage or modern – it’s almost impossible to pick a favorite.  Almost. 

In this eclectic assortment, there is a little bit of everything.  Each ring can be worn on its own, but what a powerhouse when you stack them tall!  There are three modern bands, and two estate.  Can you guess which is which?  If you have a hunch that the matched pair are vintage, you’re spot on!  These beauties are made from 18 karat yellow gold with an endless channel of black enamel, priced at $800.00 for both.  

Two distinctive diamond pieces add sparkle and brilliance.  First, is an 18 karat white gold gem made by Beverley K.  The unusual honeycomb style setting features a series of 28 round brilliant diamonds that have a combined weight of .63 carat.  This eternal enchantress packs a punch for just $1,750.00.  Next is a 14 karat yellow gold stunner.  With diamonds on the top half, set in an alternating framework of both marquise and round shapes, this brand new bauble offers an antique appeal.  It’s available now for $1,100.00.

Last but definitely not least, if you hadn’t already guessed, is my personal favorite.  Can we talk about that enameled daisy band?  14 karat white gold is the ideal base for this multicolored marvel.  Pale yellow centers surrounded by white petals and mint green leaves pop on a black background.  It’s a botanical masterpiece – priced to sell at just $675.00.

As I mentioned before, each of these bands can be worn alone, but the combination is unbeatable.  Perhaps one or more of them has caught your eye.  Call us at 1-800-747-7552 for ownership possibilities.
