Hi guys,
Well this will be a long-range project because I don''t know when this might happen. But, as this is pricescope, of course I want to start early!
My mom has a very lovely traditional wedding set. YG w-band (2mm or less, I''d guess) and a roughly .80ct RB in 6-prong plat head/T&C style on YG band. She used to wear a "guard ring" identical to her wedding band on the other side, but due to arthritis doesn''t any more (plus she forgot to get it resized when she had the e-ring and w-ring sixed up.) I''m guessing a ring size 5 3/4, maybe a 6.
My dad is a good gift giver (she gets her Joy perfume over XMas and b-day) but he hasn''t given her a piece of jewelry since their fifteenth anniversary.
And they''ve been married 38 years now. Blueroses says it''s TIME!!! I felt around the subject w/ my mom (I wasn''t sure how she''d fee) and she''d be more or less is PSYCHED about possibly getting some fresh bling! I mentioned to my dad what a nice idea this might be in the future (b-day? Christmas? or wait for 2 years until the big 40th? Nah....not that last one, this is PRICESCOPE, for heaven''s sake!!) And he agreed that hey, that might be a good idea!
(I''d been pondering this, but I have to give props to Ally for refreshing my memory with the great Mommy-ring gift she and her siblings are doing.)
SO. I''m thinking an eternity band. Nothing too unusual, nothing too expensive. (Some of the low-ish tcw thinner Signed Pieces bands might be just the ticket.)
SO, I have put a couple little collages together--just for style, really.
Tell me what you think! Do you have a preference for prong-set, channel-set, bead/pave? Why? DO TELL--comfort, durability, "catching-ness," etc. My mom is fairly hard on her jewelry (she teaches high school and gardens!!) so it would need to be something that wouldn''t be losing melee all the time.
I would looooove PSers input and expertise. Or if there''s something GREAT out there that you know of, please post pictures or information! Has to be yellow gold, and I don''t think she''d be into colored stones or diamonds.
THANKS!!!!!
