Help me pick a bday present!

[MonkeyPie]

So my birthday is in the first week of November, and I thought I needed something sparkly this year. My hands are starting to swell a tiny bit with baby bloat, so I think I will need a "placeholder" ring soon. So I am looking for a band with colored stones of some kind.

I want something in silver (white gold or sterling), and fairly wide - I am thinking an 8 or 8 1/2 would be good. I am not picky about stone color, but blue would be nice since it will match more of my clothes

I''m going to try and keep it around $100.

I am also not picky about where you find it - ebay is good and I don''t care if it''s kind of "cheap" since I likely won''t be wearing it forever!

This is a wide band, and you could probably request to have more stones put in for more sparkle

I knew you guys would find better things than I was finding!

Deia, I LOVE the emerald cuts - that may have to be a right hand ring, LOL.

MTG, that first one is downright gorgeous. I love how it looks almost like water.

Novel, I may have to extend my budget a bit for that last one - so pretty!

There is something really funky going on with my links. Sorry!

And I went a teeny bit over... but they do really good sales

I''m actually wondering how she would feel about popping a pear cut diamond in there

Oh, you''re talking about the Etsy one! Yikes, thats really over. Sorry, I think I was taken by it and didn''t notice. But I imagine if you provide the stone it would be less, right? It would be great with a pear cut diamond!
