All

I am getting married next year and my fiance wants to buy me a cygnet ring (I don't want a wedding band).

Can anyone post photos of tasteful gents diamond rings please? I once knew an accountant, who looked like Winston Chrurchill, who wore a 4-5 ish cwt solitaire on his little finger. It suited him, but something similar might make me look like Liberace!

They have tons of different ones.

Thanks for that, but they all seem quite "traditional" where I am looking for something moderrn.

Any ideas?

Hey Manks,
 
What are some of your general ideas of what your ring should have incorportated in it concerning the design and style?
 
Do you want to have stones set in your ring?
 
Are there any styles in particular that you have seen and liked?
 
Give us a general idea and we will probably be able to help ya out more

Hey Manks,
 
I think I had the same problem you are having in finding a non-traditional band...
 
Ultimately I decided to get a ring custom made because I wanted a thicker ring that incorporated more stones and that had a neat design...
 
See the Pic below of my wedding band...

Probably a solitaire diamond, of some type. Your ring looks like it cost you a fortune - things going well up there then ;-)

Manks,
 
You could probably have the same design done in one medium like white or yellow gold for around $3500.00..
 
I have seen some nice men's styles which incorporate one center diamond...
 
Maybe a solid band with some really nice engraving with a bezel set diamond in the center??
 
I have also seen some interesting tension set men's rings...
 
What's your budget??

Not sure what style you have in mind (is it a signet ring, meaning a ring with monogram engraved?), but you may want to take a look at THIS past thread for starters.

If my guess of the style is right, then one of the nicest jobs can be obtained from THIS source. Also the site is good for further reference into US engraving.

Val

Sure, I used cygnet as a description of a mens non-wedding ring - not monogrammed per-se.

I wonder whether I might opt for an 8-prong crown-style tiffany or maybe a rubover. I have a rubover with a smallish (20-30pt?) stone at present and its nice enough, but I want somethimg more ermmmm..... bling?

Manks ;-)

This is all about your taste (and my ignorance about men's rings)... but have you ever considered things like titanium rings? These seem to come more often in less-than-feminine designs. Rub-over? Ok, this is my favorite style! So I could not agree more, indeed. Some nice examples reside on the diamondsbylauren site, if you have not seen it already. The owner has posted on Pricescope occasionally.

What is the eight prong type? To me, the geometry of men's rings is quite enviable and just could not imagine prongs on them. But, well, that's me

Valeria, maybe he meant something like a belcher setting? Have a look here gemstoneworld.

Here is a picture of a diamond ring we had made for my husband. It's a diamond from Whiteflash in a white gold beveled edge ring.

Hey, Manx,

Your dictionary would like to say a few words.

A cygnet is a baby swan. (Duckling:duck = gosling:goose = cygnet:swan.)

I think you meant signet.

A signet ring has a symbol on it that somehow represents the person wearing it, whether it's his initials, his family crest, his school crest, or whatever.

I suppose if your family crest is a swan, you could have a cygnet signet ring.

And remember: a fiance is a man. A fiancee is a woman. (If you want to be extra correct, put an acute accent (sloping up toward the right) over the e in fiance and the first e in fiancee.)

I hope nobody's offended by this little lesson from your friendly neighborhood schoolmarm.

I was looking desperately for one of those to post (on the same suspicion) but failed to find one. Thanks for the hint and the source As far as I know this is a quite clasical design (the oldest ring like this I came accross was a nice 1800's make) also to be found in antique shops. The one I had spoted did not make it in shop through the holidays though... These must be back in fashion I guess...

Not offended at all, I presumed that it was an alternative spelling. Now I know - so how is fiancee pronounced? The same as fiance?

All - the belcher looks like a distinct possibility, but I'd be keen to avoid anything with too much metal, lest the ring appear too chunky.
