What do you think of this ring for my husband?

dreamer_dachsie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,563 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/16/2007	I want to buy my husband a diamond ring for our upcoming second anniversary! I am thinking of setting an approx. .25ct RB into one of Bruce Boone's titanium tension set rings a la Mara's husband's ring (seen here). And yes... I know how some of you feel about men and diamonds but I love it and he is totally into it as well, so put aside that qualm for now. I'm trying to pick a setting design so I wonder if you can give me your opinions on the following options. He is built like a football player but likes to wear pink, so keep that in mind! Think "statement piece"... For all options, the ring would be 6mm in width and the diamond about 4mm in diameter, his finger is size 10. Option 1: Classic round with white gold and sterling silver mokume gane. The inset is white gold and stirling silver that has been folded over and over to create a striped effect. I would ask that the silver be oxidized. * Dreamer *

I don't think he likes pink that much Would be gorgeous though! D&T If it is sized correctly it won't spin. Or he can do what we ladies do and turn it upright! * Dreamer *

Lorelei Ideal Rock Total Posts: 34,243 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	Number 3 for moi! Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

True true ,, my hubby plays with his ring, and spins it around a lot, and I always thought of getting him a ring with diamond in it, but he wouldn't have it. I really like #3 as stated before, please post hand pics when you get it, I always like to see mens diamond ring as well.

AmberGretchen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,046 Last Post: 11/11/2009 Member Since: 1/6/2005	I really like option 2 - I think it has a nice amount of visual interest and if your hubby likes pink and is into fashion (is he?) it seems like the best choice to me.
