Amazing how you have no idea something exists and then BOOM you discover it and you have to have it. That was me (and maybe one or two others) with French cuts. I have a lovely pair but couldn't stop gawking over the lovely eternity bands here on PS and seemingly popping up everywhere I looked. Of course totally out of my price range when I did see them in the wild.
I took a bit of a gamble and bought a parcel sight unseen from an IG vendor, fancy colored diamonds. Terry at Jasmine Jade Boutique held my hand the rest of the way and designed me a gorgeous band . She also helped me navigate the buying process as she had worked with the vendor before. We ran into a small issue since he only had 30 stones in the 1.9mm and I needed 33. But Tarak was very accommodating and went through every french cut he had to find me 3 stones that were very close (1.85ish). And he managed to get them out of HK right before Chinese New Year, had we missed that deadline I probably would still be waiting.
One of my concerns was that I buy this absolute dream cut eternity and then my hands swell or something and I can't wear it. Terry's solution was sizing up and using a U prong setting so there was "room to grow." And since it is an eternity it doesn't matter if it is loose in the winter and spins.
Without further ado.
Stats:
33 1.9mm (3 1.85~) G/F VS2 french cuts
Unplated white gold
Finger size normally 7, ring sized to 7.5
Width: 3.20mm
Height: 1.60mm
Sorry for the smudges and fingerprints, I was taking advantage of the sun and in a bit of a rush
So this is what the other end of the color spectrum looks like. I only have Ms and Ks so this lovely lady is very white to me

It’s absolutely gorgeous and I love the inside of the band...it’s pretty and practical (can you imagine?). Plus, it wears beautifully with your e-ring.
