We just got back from vacation (just to the beach a couple hours from home) and while we were there, we visited this little historic town that has some little shops and restaurants. We wandered into a hole-in-the-wall jewelry store in the basement of an old historic building. I almost didn''t even see it - my hubby saw it and pointed it out. I noticed a pretty sapphire band and could not believe the price on it. Tried it on and although it''s a little large, it basically was a perfect fit and I can even wear it on both hands, which is very unusual since they differ by about one full size. I decided that was a sign that it was meant to be mine! My birthday is Wednesday and even though I know my hubby has bought me some type of jewelry from a local store he likes, I just had to have it (and he totally supported me getting it).

It''s 14k white gold, and I don''t know if the stones are considered french cut or just square cut (I don''t know the difference). There is a little beveled edge around each stone, so maybe that will help someone here identify the cut for me! Anyway, the band is very dainty - more so than the photos show. It''s about 2 mm. The stones themselves are about 1.5 mm square, which makes them around 3 pts or so each. There are 32 stones in the band, so total of just under a carat. Enjoy the photos! I really love it!

This was a little family owned store and I think they''d had this band a while, as the price was from before gold went up so high. I got this ring for less than $300 including tax. The owner said he had no idea what he would price it at now with gold prices where they are. I decided to take it before he re-priced it!

happy birthday!!!! and beautiful band, they look like carre cut kinda like a princess step cut without clipped corners right? almost asscher but not and no windmill effect.
 
Beautiful! I love it.
 
Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I thought it was a great deal too and am really happy I got it. It''s not like me to walk in somewhere, see something reasonable (I never find the deals) and just decide to buy myself something like that!

Annette, thanks! Good to hear from you and I hope you''re doing well too!

D&T - thanks - I wasn''t sure about what kind of cut they were. They are step cut for sure and no clipped corners. Thanks for the feedback!
 
It''s very pretty. Love the color. Happy Birthday.
 
Lovely!
 
Wow! It''s gorgeous! And what a steal-you had to snap that up! Wear it in good health and happy birthday!
