This band had a short stint with another owner who ultimately wanted a shared-prong style. I decided to hold onto it for a while before relisting to see if I was sure I wanted to sell ::)

Full eternity
0.72ctw, single-cut melee. No appraisal but stones are definitely lower colour (I estimate K/L), and are clean through the loupe (and sparkle!!)
Size: 4.75
Width: 2.45mm
Depth (height off finger): 1.5mm
Purchased as platinum (and tested, no hallmark)

I bought this darling a couple of years ago but haven't worn it all that much.

This is a vintage piece. It has been recently polished and is in excellent condition, but there is evidence of wear - slight nicking in the metal, the channel had milgrain that has mostly been polished away - it's visible on close inspection in some spots but from normal viewing distance just looks to be plainly polished. The stones are all in excellent condition and are secure in the channel, and the ring is structurally sound. I personally always look for this style of azure, vs. circular holes drilled into the underside of the band, as this type looks much more refined and elegant to me. The stones are lower-colour (I would say K/L) - the lower stone colour is my favourite thing about this band!! It pairs perfectly with J or lower centerstones: I love that I can wear it beside my J solitaire and truly not see any colour difference between center and melee. The melee are pretty forgiving, actually - I wore this band next to a loose M in a white metal ringholder and was surprised to note the same "can't see the colour difference" effect. The stones are clean and throw out a ton of coloured light 8-)

I'm guessing the answer is no, but any chance this could be sized to a 5.25? This is exactly what I'm looking for, but a half size to small!
 
Hi @Ontheblackrock15!

Unfortunately I don't think this band could work for you :(sad

I asked my jeweller about sizing last time I had it for sale. He indicated that a quarter size was doable by shaving the interior of the channel, but as this band isn't very deep (1.5mm off the finger) there isn't a whole lot of extra "channel wall" to work with and he wouldn't be comfortable sizing up further than that. He strongly recommended (in general) against sizing channel bands by stretching.

Thanks for reaching out, I hope you find the right band soon!! ::)
