I think I finally found my wedding band and received it the other day.

Last month I was presented with a gorgeous 1.54 Old Mine e-ring and was having a tough time finding a wedding band that I thought really complimented the uniqueness and charm of the old stone. Then I found a great 1.50 ct french cut eternity band that was created in '20's. I had never actually seen a french cut and love how sparkly they are and the hand engraving on the side is a added bonus!

I had my appraiser & jeweler check it out and they were both thrilled with the band. They could tell that at one point in time it had been sized and there was a little wear on some of the milgrain but for the most part it was in great shape and they had no concern with it.

Overall I love that the width is similar to my e-ring, originally I wanted something that has a bit more substance to the stones but everything thats available around here, that I have been able to try, hasn't looked right.

I love french cuts!!! BTW, do you happen to know what the width of the band is?
 
I will be getting the appraisal tomorrow and will have the exact details, but it is around 2mm and my ering is 2.3mm.

I'll +1 on that question if I may. French cuts have been quite hard to find for me!

My gosh, that pic in the darkness... stunning!

+2. I'm always on the lookout. No matter what the size and I have not found any!
 
Gorgeous set - it is a perfect match. That band is stunning!

I recently acquired two pendants with the hopes of pulling out the french cuts. Yours is simply stunning.
 
Perfection.

I ended up finding it online through Isreal Rose http://www.newyorkestatejewelry.com/
French cuts are tough to find, especially the old ones! I've had my eye on it for a while, very lucky I ended up with it!
 
GORGEOUS!! Even better in the sunlight than the pics they had on the web. (I am a +4, only this time, I will only spring for one that is in my size this time...)
Just love it with your ring and those french cuts sparkle so nicely without detracting from the main ring. Congrats on your find! :appl: :appl:
 
how gorgeous!! it's a great set!! congratulations on your find :appl:
 
Very gorgeous set!
 
Beautiful! I love the side engraving. What is your ring size?
 
You have a TDF set!
 
What a great idea to use French cuts to compliment an OMC. Really stunning!
 
They absolutely look like they were made to be worn together! What a fabulous find!
