14k Yellow and White Gold Engraved Wedding Band, Size 4

Product Description

Amazon.com

With so many contrasts on this quarter-inch wide ring, it’s hard to believe the finished product could be so lovely. A thin groove of highly polished 14k yellow gold lies at the center of the ring, bound on either side by a wider band of 14k white gold in a brushed finish. The thin outer edges of the ring are then finished in a rounded strip of highly polished 14k white gold. The end result is a beautiful relationship between the two colors of gold, the two finishes of polish, and the contrasting textures of rough and smooth.

This review is from: 14k Yellow & White Gold 7mm Engraved Wedding Band (Jewelry)

Description: This two-tone, 14-karat men's gold wedding ring also sports two finishes. It consists of five zones or bands. The first, third, and fifth bands are shiny/polished and rounded (convex), with the outer bands in white gold, and the middle band in yellow gold. The second and fourth zones are flat and are raised slightly higher than the other bands, which should protect the shiny ones somewhat from damage. These two zones are white gold with a brushed finish and each are approximately 2.5 times the width of one of the shiny bands. The inside of the ring is white gold. The stamps read "14K" and "FA"*.

Additional information: Amazon currently has two of this ring style listed (see http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000EVXWK/ref=cm_rv_thx_view/103-5051791-5395063?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=3367581), one slightly heavier than the other, with different sizes available in each. Unfortunately with both rings, the selection of sizes is limited.

Opinion: I had been looking at this style of ring in a local jewelery store but then found this one on Amazon for less than half what the jeweler was asking. When the Amazon ring arrived, I was relieved to find that it was identical to the one I had been considering at the jewelry store.

The photo of the ring here does not do it justice. It is a great-looking ring, and heavy enough to feel like gold should, but not so heavy as to be cumbersome. The inside is slightly convex, making the ring quite comfortable to wear.

One issue to note: the ring I received appears to have a bit of light wear on the brushed surfaces: some minor nicks and scratches. Perhaps it had been returned by another customer and then shipped to me. I just received the ring tonight, however, so I will need to examine it more closely in the daylight to know whether to ask for an exchange. The bottom line: be sure to examine closely any jewelry you buy.

Bottom line(s): This is a very attractive and modern-looking ring that does not look like a pipe fitting, as do so many other men's rings today. I am very pleased to have found the ring on Amazon and am happy about the design and feel of the product. It will be a fine wedding ring.

* Edit: The stamp actually reads "14(c)FG" - the FG = Frederick Goldman. The G looks like an A, though, which I believe must be part of Goldman's trademark. I've had the ring for two years now, and it's still beautiful. The texture on the raised part is smooth now, and more reflective (partly because I mistakenly asked a mall jeweler one day for a quick *polish* rather than a *cleaning*, and didn't catch my mistake before it was too late, and the guy had given it a light abrasive polish), but the ring is still beautiful. Definitely an excellent value; I'll continue to buy jewelry from Amazon.
