#JOTW Fabulous WF remake of my eternity band - shared prong to bezel!

[Dee*Jay]

Back in about 2000 I had an eternity band made to celebrate finishing my master degree... because that process had felt like an ETERNITY! Well the jeweler decided that I wear my rings too loose and had it made smaller than I asked for because *he knew best* (bless his heart, gotta love those old school jewelers!), so I ended up with a gorgeous ring in a size 4.5 that I rarely wore, and it was definitely not a size that was comfortable on right hand, which is where I would wear it now. Sad and unloved, it sat in my jewelry box for about two decades... I contacted WF last year about just getting it remade in a U-prong style, and a slightly bigger size, but I wasn't sure that was the right answer either because I was afraid of knocking a stone (klutz alert!) and then Bye Bye Diamond! This wasn't an idle fear BTW, because I had lost one early on, so I knew it could happen. I sat on the idea for a while... and then when we were in Houston for the GTG I had a chat with the lovely WF people about remaking it bezel set. It arrived yesterday and I couldn't be happier! This is now a ring I'm going to wear All The Time!!!

This is just gorgeous and looks sooooo comfortably wearable! Great job by WF and congrats on the stunning ring!

Ohhh! So glad you did it! The new and improved version is gorgeous and perfect on your hand! Well done @Dee*Jay and WF!

My requests to WF were to make each bezel distinct and as delicate as possible and to set the whole thing looooow. Well I couldn't have asked for a better result -- the ring is even better than I hoped for! I confess I took pause when I looked at the glamour shots thinking the ring might look "clunky," but when I opened the box I was abolutely blown away. The metal totally disappears and all you see is DiamondDiamondDiamond!

For specs, the stones are .33-.35 each and I did "lose" one by virtue of going to a bezel setting, so now the ring is 4.57 ct. (The one that wasn't used was chipped anyway... please see the klutz alert above!). The ring is platinum, and it's substantial but not heavy.

Have I mentioned how THRILLED I am?!

Awesome ring, I have to say I am loving the bezel look....

That really did turn out so well! It is just gorgeous Dee Jay! So nice to turn a non wearable piece into a thing of joy for every day! Kudos to WF for another spectacular job!

What a stunning remake! It looks very chique and very comfortable. Enjoy wearing it!

 

[Platinum-blonde]

Wow! I love this look. Wear it in great health and happiness.

 

[GearGirly]

Wow wow wow, I think this is PERFECT, I don’t know why but the bezel just makes it. This makes me want a large eternity again and I thought I was over that lol!

Dee Jay - your ring is spectacular, simply beautiful. Love the bezels and glad it's comfortable. Enjoy your lovely bling.

 

[Bonfire]

Wow, that is stunning DJ! I love how bezeling gives such definition to each stone (and added size). It’s so wearable and looks so amazing on your hand! Well done!

 

[cokitty]

The original was great, but the remake, wow! Well done for bringing your ring back to life. WF did an excellent job of executing your vision.

 

[nala]

Talk about a statement ring! That looks huge! Love it!

 

[4ever]

Yes! That is perfect. I love the look so much more as a bezel band, it’s glorious.
I’m sure you will enjoy it so much more now that you don’t have to be so precious with it.

 

[Gussie]

Love it!!!!! It looks sophisticated, just perfect!

 

[Catmom]

Wonderful remake DJ! It looks great on your hand. I love the other ring too!

 

[bright ice]

That’s a perfect eternity style and I’m sure so comfy now, it’s gorgeous! So glad you are happy with the outcome!!!

 

[marcy]

Dee Jay, your new eternity ring turned out fabulous. Whiteflash did a wonderful job. It looks perfect on you and I can see why you'd wear it every day.

 

[Asscherhalo_lover]

Bezels are the BEST!!! I love the contrast with your reset ring and the vine ring. Any thoughts on possibly keeping it yellow?

 

[Slickk]

Speechless, because that is one absolutely gorgeous ring! I loved bezels already but this is just ridiculously gorgeous. Everything about it! Wear it in much happiness now!
