Hi all, As some of you know, I am leaning heavily towards ordering the tricolor Simon G ring (infact probably going to do that this week-end). But curious to know is the colored diamonds "in" right now? Since I am going to be wearing this on my right hand, is it going to be a "Timeless" piece ?!? WOuld love to know your thougths.. Dreamer

I think it's timeless. I love that particular ring. It incorporates many different elements -- different shades of gold, differrent colored stones. It's delicate and has a vintage feel. I don't think you will be making a mistake with it.

IMO the design is definitely timeless as is the mix of the colors and how it is subtle, I love Simon G's stuff..BUT have you tried that ring on?? I was OBSESSED with the wide band rings like that until I got one and realized it did not look good at all on my hand. I was really disappointed, and I never wear it....so not sure if you have seen a wide band ring like that on your hand but just be sure it's what you really want before purchasing. If you get it, post pictures! We don't see enough cool items like that around here! ________________________________ |

Thanks Mara. Yeah, last week-end we went to Firenze and tried this ring and the flower band that they have. The flower hand is 13 mm and too big on me. But this one although looks big, it is 9 mm and looked good on my ring finer. And I have quite small hands too.. ANyways, will give it one more try this week-end at local jeweller.

Oooh I'm so jealous, you went to Firenze??? I drool over their site on a weekly basis....I would love to eventually be able to buy a piece from there.

Well, their store is not as fancy as their website.. A small store in the middle of diamond district and they don't keep all the pieces they showcase on website too.. Obviously, they have a lot on their website. But, nice service. Luckily this ring was available to try it on..

Yes, I feel that ring is timeless. In fact, I think it will be considered more different and envied as time goes on and pink diamonds become even rarer. I have wanted a ring with pink diamonds for so long myself.

I agree it's definitely a timeless piece. Very pretty. Good luck deciding. I adore Simon G but my hands are too small for a wide band.

Its got the millegrain setting, quite a vintage, antiquee look, its a good sign for "Classic" ********************** |

I own that ring. (In fact, that is my picture you posted. Would have been nice to have been given credit for it or asked.) Anyway, I love the ring and think it is a timeless, classic design with an antique feel to it.

But this one although looks big, it is 9 mm and looked good on my ring finer. And I have quite small hands too.. ANyways, will give it one more try this week-end at local jeweller. The tricolor ribbon ring is one of my favorite Simon G bands. I own the wide flower band in white gold with blue sapphire flower which I had purchased before I ever saw the ribbon. It sure would be pretty in pink and white gold with pink diamonds! The flower ring is super wide and would be difficult for most people to wear. Both are beautiful rings. If the narrower ring is more comfortable, I'd definitely go with it. Either way, the woarkmanship of Simon G is very nice. You won't be disappointed.

MA...what happened to your signature that requested that people ask to use your pictures? As a posting newbie, maybe dreamer wasn't aware of your history. You may want to re-add the siggy back to avoid future confusion!!

MA: My perspective after reading your post is that I feel you need to stop sharing your pictures here if you find it so stressful to see them being reposted without crediting you, or receiving your approval. I do understand your perspective, but it is just not viable or realistic on a busy diamond forum where everyone loves the easily accessible eye candy. This is a beautiful ring that begs to be shared with others, and although regulars here know not to use your photos without your permission, newbies like dreamer would have no idea of past discussions regarding your preferences in this regard, and may therefore feel reluctant to repost any pictures at all. ETA: I was back and forth from the computer to the kitchen while writing this post and didn't realize Mara had already addressed the issue.

Anyway, I love the ring and think it is a timeless, classic design with an antique feel to it. How are newbies supposed to know your displeasure about posting pics of your rings. I think you need to add that to the bottom of your posts again. You are the only member that I know of that gets mad when people post pics of your rings. You post pics here for all to see and admire. I feel that if you don't want pics to be posted by other's you need to say that loud and clear as you did before. Me, people post pics of my rings all the time and I am truly happy that they do. I just don't get it. ____________________________ |

By request, my signature has been changed. Dreamer has been here 3 years, so not a newbie. Regardless, previously, I did not like people sharing pictures of my rings on threads asking for things such as "Show me YOUR halo ring", "Show me your Whiteflash ring", etc., before I could even have a chance to show them myself. Here, my photo was used without even acknowledging that it was my photo or my ring. I really don't care if no one else minds if their photos are use. I DO! I'm not here to cause a controversy. I stated my opinion about my photo, and the posters question. And I'm done with this thread.

Date: 5/18/2006 11:04:08 PM what a ridicuous egomaniac.........this is a public forum for heavens sake. i think it is absurd to acknowledge that something is someone's ring or photo. her silly photo says it all. If you are that uptight why are you even on a public forum. oh i guess we know why............................EGO. We dont care! lighten up...

Sorry... not one for controversy. But REALLY had to weigh in. Yes the picture is yours. Your copyright, if you want to be picky about it (and you clearly do), IF you personally took that pic. Then you have a say in where it gets posted.... And if it is of your actual ring... then also fine. But it's not a custom design. You don't own it... it belongs to Simon G. If this was your custom design creation excecuted by a jeweler for you... and you worked it out with him that YOU would own the rights to the design... I could see the fuss... but please. She posted it to show us... there's no monetary gain... she just did it to illustrate a point. It's a ring anyone can see at any Simon G retailer... You look ridiculous standing there with a stick up your arse over this. Date: 5/18/2006 11:04:08 PM

Okey doke, here is my last comment I promise. That picture looks like one a vendor would send you. Like a stock photo. Not like it's a personal pic you took of it on your HAND. Or one with it on flowers as many do take and post on here. So how is one to know it's your personal photo?? I'm not saying it isn't.  I fully understand we can't post your pics, but to me I can certainly see a fine line here. That ring can be found on many websites. PS is about helping people. They can't contact you directly. If they start a thread saying MA, I love your such and such ring, can I post a Pic?? Could take a long time for you to respond. People here are trying to help with pics quickly. Just my take on it. And no, I'm not into getting into controversy either. You have clearly stated your wishes and they will be respected. I just wanted you to see where I am coming from.

Here is the pic from Firenze. Perhaps this will appease some people that want to lay claim to a mass produced ring. BTW dreamer, I think it is gorgeous and I say go for it!

Hey, this thread would appeal to that "Cal alum" guy who was hoping for more "contentious" exchanges! Okay, just trying to lighten things up. I agree that it's not a custom ring....anyone can purchase it and only Simon G has the copyright on it. This forum is for helping others. If that's not the intention of posting pics, and the pictures are so exclusive, then wy bother posting pictures in the first place? The internet is a difficult medium to control....and so not suited for certain personality types. Regardless, the ring is gorgeous and the picture inspired me..... I think I might just pay a visit to Firenze's myself when I go to New York in the fall (the hotel we booked is on 45th & Madison....just a few blocks away.....ca-ching$$$$!![$$)]).

I also wanted to add that it is useful and does serve a definite purpose to be able to see the "real life" ring (in a virtual sense, of course), as compared to the professional pics on the jewellers website. So, although MA is annoyed, the pic was useful.

I really love the look, and like the look of larger rings on my hand......but can I afford it?? I looked on various websites, but no prices were listed. I imagine the pricetag is substantial.
