I originally purchased this ring as my anniversary present, but I've decided I'm more of a solitaire kind of girl. This is a great blingy band with a lot of presence. I purchased it second-hand in excellent condition and have only had it for a couple of months and worn it only a handful of times. The color of the stones were described to me as G and compared to a J diamond I owned (and just recently resold) they are indeed whiter, but I will say G/H just to be safe. The clarity of the stones are VS quality. I've louped them with my 10x loupe and cannot see a single spot of carbon or cloudiness. The stones are not ideal cut like BGD or Whiteflash's melee, however every stone has arrows, so I would say that they are well cut. Probably similar to something that IDjewelry would sell if you asked for well-cut melee.
Each stone is 20 points (0.20ct) for a total of 1.40ctw. The band measures 4mm wide on the top and tapers to 3mm wide at the bottom with a height of about 3mm. (All measurements were taken with my manual calipers.) Something I found interesting is that one diamond has blue fluorescence, the rest have none. I had the ring resized from a 6.25 to a 7.5 and also had my jeweler tighten the prongs. There is however one stone that still rotates a little, but it is not completely loose or anything and is safe to wear. A jeweler could tighten the prongs for free. Other than that, the only flaw that the ring has is on one side where the shank meets the part where the diamond is set the part holding the diamond has become flattened. I'll attach a pic to show what I'm talking about. I think that the ring could be resized by 1-2 sizes, but you'd have to consult a jeweler just to be sure.
I'm asking $2000 obo (no lowball offers please!) The closest comparison I could find was a 14kt wg F/G SI1-2 7 stone ring from IDJ that sells for $1830 http://idjewelryonline.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_27&products_id=21513
WF makes a 7 stone ring in up to a size 1ctw for $2150 in 14kt white gold, but the diamonds are smaller. Please keep in mind that this ring is 18kt white gold with 20 pointers and VS clarity! The inside of the ring is stamped 18kt and what looks like US. It is fairly weighty, but I don't know the exact weight in grams.
