So 13 years ago, before I knew anything about anything, I took my gran's art deco diamond ring and had it remade into a band. The band part was very important to me, this was not an E-ring, it was simply a band that sparkles. It was a disaster. And when the jeweler grudging remade the ring to what I had asked for, the workmanship was even more of a disaster. But it was my ring and my gran's stones so I lived with it. A few years later I discovered PS and learned about diamonds and how to choose them and then I sipped of the super ideal kool aid. A band of super ideals, what more could a girl ask for. But life gets in the way, and PS adds many more ideas to a girl's head, until girl realises that a five stone band for a big five birthday might be the way to go.
But what I didn't appreciate is that diamonds have depth (duh) and five super ideals on a 4.5 sized finger, wouldn't wrap round my finger, it would be a five stone ring sitting across the too and that wasn't really what I wanted. And again, PS adds so many ideas to a girl's head. But a band that wrapped round my finger and a bezel is what I continually came back to.
And here is it...almost
Thank you to everyone who answered my 'what size are your stones on what size finger' questions! Doing this online when our shops have been closed for the past five months has been a little challenging. And thank you to White flash for your service and attention to detail.
Could I have gone bigger - yes (and whoever heard of a girl persuading herself to buy smaller diamonds) but I kept coming back to my original idea - a band (and one that was in perfect proportion to my finger). I think this just about does the trick...
6x 0.2ct WF melee with platinum head and 18c brushed yellow good shank. Designed to be comfortable with no stones between my fingers (hence the 6 stones). It's what I wanted, low-key but still says 'look at me because I sparkle'.
