I purchased this band last year from an antiques house but have decided to move on in my search for the right art deco FC band. It was sold to me as a size 4.5 and I hoped it would be possible to size it up to my size (5) without cutting the band. I took it to Tiffany to inquire if they would be able to size it the small amount. Their Manhattan bench explained to me the in-house process is to re-set stones into a new eternity setting rather than alter an existing eternity setting. I am not certain if this is because they do not want to be responsible for guaranteeing an altered eternity, or if they just want to sell a new setting - either way I am not willing to separate these vintage stones from their original setting.
There is some gentle age to the wheat engraving on either side of the band. The wear is slight and even on one side, while it is worn smooth in three evenly spaced spots on the other side of the band. Due to the symmetry of the wear, it gives me the impression the ring was always worn on the same side by its original owner.
This ring and stones are in impeccable condition and she has aged gracefully to say the least. I have three other FC bands for other fingers, so need to let this beauty go to a loving, new home in order to find her twin in my size.
