Pave halo split crown settings for yellow diamond?

P: 5/13/2007 9:45:35 PM
*DeeJay** Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,491 Last Post: 9/23/2009 Member Since: 3/26/2006	I'm narrowing my choices for a yellow diamond (almost certainly a raidant or a cushion at this point) and am hoping for suggestions for bead set white diamond pave halos with split crowns. A simple pave shank would work too, but I want to make sure whatever I end up with is different enough from my current e-ring so as not to look like I ran out of ideas and just did the same thing over again, LOL, and that it's substantial enough to be a "stand alone" ring and not look lonely without another band to keep it company. My current inspiration is Katie Holmes e-ring, but I'm open to any and all suggestions!

boston_jeff Ideal Rock Total Posts: 606 Last Post: 12/7/2008 Member Since: 1/30/2007	Obviously this is split shank, but I came across it on Ritani and thought it would be worth posting just for kicks... there are a few others there where the shank is split a little higher but the space is filled in by white accent stones...

*DeeJay** Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,491 Last Post: 9/23/2009 Member Since: 3/26/2006	Harriet, Ginos FIRST, then shopping (we'll need the carbs for energy, LOL!). Here is a pic of Katie's e-ring. I have a better one but I can't figure out how to convent it to a jpeg file (and I'm too embarrased to ask my husband, LOL... ) I like this because the split occurs closer to the stone with a split crown than it does with a split shank. There's also a Daniel K that Mrs. S. tried on that I'll try to post a pic of too.

If you're like her -- don't choose!!

*DeeJay** Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,491 Last Post: 9/23/2009 Member Since: 3/26/2006	Jeff, I love this idea, especially with a nice trilliant in the middle, but I'm afraid it looks too much like the current version of my e-ring. Maybe if I did tiny half moons and had the pave wrapped around them... LOL Harriet, Mrs. S. had to teach me the difference earlier today between a split shank and a split crown! Lisa, do you think KH's setting would look OK with a radiant too? That's the shape I'm most leaning toward at this point. Ann, you must be PSYCHIC! I just saved a Mark Patterson pic (although it has a round center stone) as an exaple.

I love that shank on that Mark P ring, it's kinda twisted.

The first one of the sapphire rings that comes up on Mark Patterson.com is almost exactly what I mean but I can't figure out how to freeze it long enough to save the pic?

ETA: I swear to g*d Ann, you read my mind! These are EXACTLY the pics I was sitting in front of my computer staring at earlier today!!!

*DeeJay** Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,491 Last Post: 9/23/2009 Member Since: 3/26/2006	LOL, Sara, the setting I'm MOST drawn toward at the moment is another Kelege (but without side stones). I'm not gonna let myself do it though, becuase as far as designers go Kelege is a one trick pony and I would indeed end up with virtually the same thing all over again!

I see the tiny differences in the shanks etc. but the square halo around the colored stone is still going to look very similar to your e-ring. Would you be open to a split shank no halo? also, deco is right about checking out Britney Murphy's rings. there are in this weeks People Mag. If I have a chance tomorrow I'll scan the picture for you. ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

Dee Jay - funny we like the same things. I kept looking at an oval setting I have saved from Jack Kelege and I thought, nah, too much like her new one. But oh my! it was so pretty! Does JB Star have anything, Michael Barin, Toby Rhinehart ??? (all on my lists!)

ETA: Though I just read some juicy gossip about the Screenwriter she married after two broken engagements to other men & only knowing this dude for a few months --- folks are saying he's a sociopath, gave an ex-fiance a FAKE ring (claiming it was 8 carats & imported from Switzerland) ... that he's con-artist etc. YIKES. Hope it's not true!
