If money was limitless

[madelise]

What would your dream ring be like?
Heck, let's also pretend that there's also possibilities to get the impossible.. like perfect AGS0 vivid red MRBs in 100000 carats.





NO LIMITS.
What's your "ultimate"?

 

[MBKRH]

Oh my, I couldn't even begin to think about it!
Many moons ago, M mentioned a budget of about 3 g's. I was like "uh..... what?" Not to be shallow or anything, but that's pitiful, I'm sorry. I'm not looking for a 3+ carat set in platinum, but come on!

I've got quite a bit of research to do yet........... I can't even think of what I'd want, if money was no object.
All I know is I'd like a princess cut in white gold.... three stone, or maybe a solitaire. But lately I've been leaning towards something with a halo. UGH!!!! That's my problem, I am constantly changing my mind.

Man....... nevermind, I pass on this question!

OK, timely question because a few days ago I ran across this. Droolworthy!!
My dream ring (for now)...

[princesss]

Hmmmm...9ish carats, chunky facets, bright yellow, LM or SK - fluid lines, no milgrain or pave. Like boston_jeff's but bigger and canary yellow.

I love it so much that I emailed it to my dh when I found it (it's on sale lol) and told him to start playing the lottery. I told him if I can get this ring I wouldn't need to purchase any more jewelry!! But I don't think he quite believes me...

 

[sonnyjane]

Unlimited budget would probably land me a three stone...

Center stone would be a 2 or 3 carat D IF round with perfect cut.
Side stones would be two .75-1 carat perfectly matched natural fancy light blue rounds

Put some nice melee on the band and call it a day

HI:

A 4 ctw, ideal cut RB, D IF, solitaire from Cartier, Harry Winston or Tiffany.....

cheers--Sharon

 

[LoveLikeCrazy]

I'm boring. Tbh if money was no object, I'd want the biggest Tiffany solitaire they sell lol. I saw a big ole 2+ carat honker last time I was in and I was drooling lol!

 

[LJL]

I'd have Kennedy's ring remade by SS or someone similar for a GIANT OEC....somewhere around 4-5c, doesnt need to be D-E-F, anything in the GIA I-J range or above will do.


I think. This is a hard one. I also love the first Coati ring from SS, but I think if budget was unlimited, I wouldnt want what is effectively a stock piece.

 

[LJL]

I lied - it would be a giant AVR! THROW THE PRICETAG TO THE WIND

So, if money was limitless, I think I wouldn't choose one dream ring, but rather SEVERAL dream rings! I really think all these styles are gorgeous and if my money was limitless, I would buy every single one of these and switch them up depending on my mood for the day

These are what I would pick:

A 1.5-1.75 RB solitaire in Mark Morrell's Petite Torchiere with the diamonds in the head.
A three stone like Yssie's old ring. I would probably use a 2 ct RB center and then 0.25 ct sides. (Can't remember if that is close to what Yssie had or not)
A 1.5 AVC in a delicate halo by VC or SK.
A 2 carat EC with a tapered baguette diamond setting.
And, a five stone ring with 0.3 RB stones.

If you told me I had to pick only one of these, it would hands down be the 1.5 RB solitaire by Mark Morrell. I absolutely adore the look and the setting is fantastic. I drool every time I see it and hopefully, one day down the road, I will be able to upgrade my ring to this setting. But, it's really not in the budget now.

Lmao, I like the way you think! So.. If the rules are to just get ONE ring... Maybe I should "get" a multimillion dollar piece, sell it, and use the funds to buy multiple!

 

[CaprineSun]

That ring missy posted!!

Or a large EC with side traps or tapered baguettes.

 

[Schafenm]

This is fun!! I would totally jut do a bigger diamond of what I am getting. A 4+ asscher with tapered baguettes and diamonds channel set down the rest of the band!!! YUMMY

I would then get a bunch of stackable bands to wear with it!!!

 

[gatorblue]

Oh if only...

To start, I would (politely) ask for the 9.5 mm, 5 ct untreated sapphire I just saw on Gemfix. 16,690!


Great topic!

 

[Eskiez]

Maybe I am not dreaming big enough, but I would be very happy with a 3-4ct AVC F+ color, VS1+ in a VC single cut halo. That would be simply amazing.

 

[lin_ny]

Pictures, ladies, pictures!!!

My dream ring but I'd love it with a 2-3 ct OEC:




Also I'm obsessed with emeralds and STUNNING solitaires... gotta love double claw prongs

 

[Rhea]

My dream ring is from Single Stone, which was over $3,800 in Spring 2009.

If money were truly limitless I might actually pick something else, but I think this would be a comfortable everyday ring in a style that suits me very well.

 

[SB621]

I would have a list:


-4ct or larger OMC
-Cartier Pave trinity ring
- 10 ct + EC

 

[maccers]

Oh fun!
My dream ring would be very close to the one on the front page of Leigh Jay Nacht. A warm coloured solitaire in an antique setting, sigh. Not sure what the stats on that ring are but it's heavenly.

ETA: For a 'fun' ring, probably something by Shawish.

This -

A ring featuring a 10 carat cushion cut Thai ruby bordered by 8 oval diamonds weighing a total of 4 carats.



And also the WF eternity band posted yesterday with 50 pointers. You know, for casual days.
