I was looking for a setting and came across this band on Stuller. It is on sale on their website, about $15 more than the eternity (46 stones) that is only 24 stones.
I have a sapphire eternity and emeralds on my ER so why not another color right? Or come over and take away my credit card. I don't think I can return it since my jeweler will order it at cost and he doesn't sell CS.
Which one do you prefer? And does anyone have experience with the quality of Stuller's stock gemstones? What is odd is that both rings allegedly have 1.3mm x 1.3mm rubies but the anniversary band's rubies look much nicer. Do you think it is just the stock photos?

It will be tiiiiiiny in real life. Like tiiiiiiny.

Unless eternity bands are normally tiny.....I dunno as I normally like my stones a bit bigger.
 
I don-t connect quality with the name stuller, and I-d be surprised if those rubies were anything but heavily treated as~good as manmade gems, those that somebody called "mutant stones". But it comes down to price of course.
 
Stuller's items are generally commercial quality with stock photographs.
 
Whenever I see the words “ruby” and “great buy” in one sentence, I worry. With rubies, in the best of circumstances, you get what you pay for.
 
@mellowyellowgirl I am dying laughing, yes the more I think about it, I wonder if I will even be able to see the stones!

@Anne111 , @chrono , and @T L I am going to back away slowly. Thanks for the reality check.
