As many may remember, I have been wanting to get my husband a wedding band with diamonds for years and years now. My husband is the type of man who really loves to wear a wedding band, and he loves his present band very much but has often said he would like a little bling.

Nothing I found ever seemed quite right. I was really hoping to get him a new band for our fifth anniversary last May, but I could not find something in time :blackeye:

Last month I happened upon a Scott Kay ring in platinum that ticked all the boxes: Wide, platiunum, well crafted, manly. It was a little banged up. But I snapped it up!

It was filthy when it arrived :knockout: I was a little concerned it was too far gone to refurbish to like-new condition, or even acceptable condition!

But with some cleaning and a lot of careful patience from my wonderful local jeweler, it now looks 100% brand new! I am very impressed.

It is 8mm wide with about .48cttw in diamonds (12 x .04ct). He will love it.

This is the ring, I paid a very small fraction of this price (which is shocking to me!): http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/scott-kay-for-men-jewelry/rings/105U1/

This weekend we are having our first night away from the kids in a year and a half :o We are going to a Christmas party and staying in a hotel over night downtown, then seeing the Hobbit on Sunday in 3d Imax! I am going to give it to him our first night out.

Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Wow, it's so nice! Does he have any idea this is coming?! I bet he will love it!
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Love that your hubby is manly enough for bling, love the band, love that you, of course, got it for a steal, and LOVE that you get a weekend without kids!
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Your jeweller is quite the miracle worker - what a difference from before to after! That is so romantic that you can't wait to give it to him! I hope he's just as excited receiving it, as you are gifting it! AND -- totally jealous your DH will wear a sparkle! No such luck in the Enerchi household.. (more for me!!)

Great ring, Dreamer! :appl:
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Dreamer! You've done it again! I am always in awe of your online finds. What a great band!!
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Wow, that before shot! You're lucky no diamonds were chipped. Your jeweler did a fantastic job.
Enjoy your weekend away. What a treat! :))
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Dreamer, Fabulous find, I love the mixed finishes of the metal :love: Have a wonderful time on your date :wavey:
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Outstanding, he's gonna love it! And there's that beautiful ring of yours, drool drool :cheeky:
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

It looks as new and gorgeous - move over George!
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

It looks so awesome now! A total transformation! A brand new ring! Your DH is gonna turn some heads wearing that ring! He may even start a trend with his coworkers and friends :naughty:
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

I can't believe what the rehab did - great find!! If he wants a blingier band, I think he will be very excited to receive this band. It's beautiful, blingy and yet masculine. How fun to be able to give him some bling!

Enjoy your weekend and your night away - sounds perfect!
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Wow, what a transformation!!!! I love that band, I wish my DH would wear diamonds. He insisted on a band without them though. Great job Dreamer!! :appl:
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Gorgeous band, Dreamer. I love a good bargain!
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Wow, that is a drastic difference!!! It's beautiful though! I wish DH would wear diamonds...Sounds like a fun weekend! Hope you enjoy the Hobbit!

Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Dreamer, I just love this band!!! Very masculine and refined. Awesome that you got a deal. I can't believe how much it is full price!
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Dreamer, love it!, that is a great ring. Congrats and I am sure your dh will love it, have a lovely time! :wavey:
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

That before photo is shocking!! Your jeweler did a great job with it. Looks great, and it's cute how excited you are to give it to him! ::)
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Glad to have people to share in my excitement!

The gift is a surprise. He is going to be very very shocked.

madelise Thanks! I think most men won't wear diamonds. Shrug. Their loss!

Laila It is a surprise :)) He will be shocked because we are on a tight budget, but I used a bit of my own fun money for this.

Rosebloom A weekend without kids is really the best gift at all. We will be drunk on the freedom. It has been a looooooong time!

Enerchi Thanks lady!

Manderz It is great. I stumbled on it when I was perusing the wares of a seller I had bought something else from and just snapped it up. Most other similar bands on ebay were at least $500 more. So no waffling, had to have it.

Jane It is a treat indeed to get away. The seller was an estate seller and was careful in their description, so I knew there was no damage to the diamonds and that it needed refurbishment, and if there was damage, I could return it :))

artdecogirl I too love the different textures. In person it is very very subtle, but it sure looks purdy in macro!

sandy haha I had to sneak in one little peak at my baby! The ring I mean.

polished Well, George still holds his own ;))

YayTacori I suspect he will get some teasing! He may not wear it in some contexts and might wear his plain band. I dunno. In person the diamonds are pretty subtle. You can only see them if you look for them. I think they are more for the wearer than the public. From a distance one only sees the texture diferences.

MGR I am amazed at the rehad. I was not sure it could be made so new and shiny!

Stargurl Thanks! :wavey:

justginger Oh I love good bargain too. It is a sickness in me.

04diamond I am very stoked for the Hobbit. We bought our tickets two weeks ago :lol:

motown Thanks!

Circe A) Thanks! Twas a while ago, but still a nice milestone; B) yup yup!; C) It is a newish band, there are some shots in my thread on the solitaire. Just a pretty little engraved band. I am still looking for something "perfect", but this one really meets my needs for now! And I too love my set. It is dreamy to me.

Lizzy Thanks! The full price is scary, but that is designer for you I guess.

haha... thanks!

It looks normal to me in that photo. I certainly don't think my ring is small, but it does not look huge to me anymore! ::)

I sent a photo of another diamond I have to my friend , and my solitaire was in the shot. Apparently her husband saw it on the monitor and thought my solitaire was massive! Maybe bigger than my friend's ring, and hers is huge/ I was like, "naaah... it doesn't look so big!" haha.

Oh DSS, foul beast.

Thanks Sarahb, monnyjay, and pandabee! :wavey:
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

What a thoughtful surprise gift! Your husband will be very thrilled by two facts. First, a nice gesture from you. Second, the ring looks amazing! I can't wait to see it on his hand!
 
Re: Scott Kay diamond and platinum wedding band for my husba

Wow. Your jeweller did an AWESOME job with it - it really does look brand new, and that's in super-duper-closeups!

And awesome that your DH likes a little bling, and awesome choice!! :appl: It's very elegant and "manly" - but your handshots don't count :bigsmile:
