Its this one:

http://www.inspiredsilver.com/p642_925-sterling-silver-wedding-band.html

If the link doesnt work its the "hollywood legend emerald cut" cz eternity band in rhodium plated silver from inspiredsilver.com

Gorgeous as is but want to give it some depth.

Looking for full recipe incl proper bakeware, temp, cooking time, etc!

Thank you!!

First of all, do at your own risk smile

Make sure the ring and stones are well cleaned with no finger proints of oils from your hands. Place in a ceramic or silicon baking dish. Place in oven, and then turn the oven on, I like 400F, some people like 350 or 375. Leave in the oven baking for 2 hours. A little more or less is fine. Once done, turn off oven and let cool completely inside the oven. Then you are done, and you can decide if it needs some more. smile If so, repeat.

Oooh thanks Jcent!! Do you think the size of the stones has any impact on temp or timing?

No, I don't think so. I have baked eternity rings and large loose CZ... sometimes one at a time, sometimes in "batches" or 10 or more... That is always what I do. smile I usually find that 2.5- 3 hours is right amount for me. I have never been too scared to ruin anything though. So if you are nervous, there is no harm in shorter times, and just repeating again and again until you are satisfied.

I gotta ask, why the baking of the CZ ring????? Does it change the appearance of the stones?? (I think i'm going to learn lots here!) smile

Yep! It will take them down a color grade or so, making them more steely and "real" looking

I LOVEEEEE baking my CZs!! It makes a huge difference to me. I usually start out lower and then get to about 400 degrees. Typically I bake my rings 2 to 3 times for a few hours at a time.
