Bridget Durnell tapered platinum ring

paige03 Rough Rock Total Posts: 19 Last Post: 8/30/2009 Member Since: 1/18/2008	I've been lurking for awhile, so it's only right to post another Bridget Durnell ring--a designer PS'ers seem newly interested in. I have a small hand and wanted a stand-alone wedding ring. Do you guys think this needs a band? The center stone is a 1.01 carat round brilliant cut diamond. E color, SI2 clarity. The bezel set sapphires in the profile gallery are vivid blue color. It looks like the center stone is bezel set, but it's actually secured by 4 claw prongs. Metal is platinum. It's a size 4... paige

The setting is definitly substantial enough to stand along. I love the profile view! ~~~Thanks to PS, my wants far exceed my budget!~~~

CBL Cut Rock Total Posts: 113 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/14/2009	I am so loving Bridget Durnell's settings!! That is one gorgeous ring, and I love how substantial it is. I definitely don't think it needs a band--in fact I think that would detract from the coolness of the design, especially those diamonds along the side. ~cait I respond well to sparkles

paige03 Rough Rock Total Posts: 19 Last Post: 8/30/2009 Member Since: 1/18/2008	Thanks. I keep hoping I chose the right setting. My previous setting had two pear-shaped sapphires flanking the center stone. It was more delicate, and I wore it with a band. Isn't it hard to choose when there are so many pretty possibilities? paige

Sundial Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,590 Last Post: 7/14/2009 Member Since: 3/14/2005	Gosh your ring is absolutely stunning and pretty from every angle! As others have stated, adding a band would only detract from its beauty. It is hard to choose a ring with so many options out there, but you have something very special there that will stand the test of time.
