Q&A: Help Finding a Diamond Eternity Band for Around $1,500 Budget

By Mike Fried,

Hello,

My fiancée would like to get a diamond eternity wedding band for me but we’re unsure how to choose one.

As I understand, diamonds need to be a certain size before it can be certified and I don’t think diamonds in a pavé setting are big enough. How do I ensure I’m getting good quality diamonds in my ring?

Thanks!

You are right that diamonds in pave settings or eternity rings aren’t certified. The best way to ensure that you’re getting quality is to buy fro ma reputable place.

What I can recommend is, for instance, www.jamesallen.com, www.bluenile.com or www.briangavindiamonds.com.

What kind of eternity band are you looking for? And what is your ballpark budget?

Thank you for your reply. My ballpark budget is about 1.5k USD, and ideally would like a full eternity band in platinum, although unsure if this is doable.

We currently live in the Benelux region, so very close to diamond capital, but that doesn’t necessarily mean most places are reputable and are therefore hesitant to fork over the dollars.

I would definitely recommend Blue Nile then. They have an office in Dublin and are the best choice for Europe.
Look at this eternity band:

You can be sure the product will have the quality you want and it will look gorgeous. We are very pleased with their products and service.

What do you think?

It’s very beautiful and we’ll definitely consider getting from Blue Nike. Thank you for your recommendation!!

My pleasure.
