Cartier Ballerine lookalike?

starsinhereyes Rough Rock Total Posts: 9 Last Post: 10/15/2009 Member Since: 11/22/2007	Hi guys... I am in love with Cartier's Ballerine ring, but it is way, way out of my price range I am sure. Does anyone know a vendor who makes a similar ring? I think I would probably have to go custom, huh? I just worry about the final product with custom.

Everybody is different, seems a bit harsh to keep going on about how 'horrible' you thought it was. Maisie, I think Aisanhoney's point was more that it looked horrible on her fingers, not the ring itself. I've tried on rings myself that looked absolutely stunning on display but once on my fingers......UGHHHH! My sister tried on my engagement ring and people have commented that it looked awful on her fingers but that it looked gorgeous on mine. _______________________ << Everyday is a gift, which is why we call today "the present" >>

asianhoney Rough Rock Total Posts: 27 Last Post: 10/29/2008 Member Since: 1/23/2008	it looked horrible to me... it just didn't look like an engagement ring that's all. looked more like a wedding band from afar cuz it looked just like a streak of light on ur finger! i'm just saying.. it looks so beautiful when not worn.. but once tried on.. one may not like it at all. i was seriously dead set on getting it.

Does sound magnificent! FYI ... "D" is a color, "VVS1" denotes the stone's clarity.

mrssalvo Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,856 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 1/3/2005	I think it would make a beautiful e-ring. I do agree with seeing if you can try it on b/f buying it or something similar b/c I have found so many times rings I love in pictures do not look the same in person or on my finger. that bluenile one beacon posted might be a nice option... ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

divergrrl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,141 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 12/9/2002	Holy Moly Metro. I have stardust in my eyes. great, just great, now I want a reset. LOL. Dh would kill me. Though, wouldn't this look great with a sapphire in it too for RHR? Starsinhereyes: I think you should totally try it! Also, try various wedding bands on with it. One thing many of us PSers have noticed is that rings with that kind of shank/band tend to not fit a wedding band flush against it. I personally like the look when you have a ring like the Ballerine, and then an eternity band (where the diamonds are the same size as the melee in the w-ring , so it flows) but the w-band is not supposed to go flush & they complement each other rather than match. Or you could go custom. Or they could have a band that goes with it. Or (and given that side shot is a totally great option) wear it alone. That side view is To Die For. Drool drool drool. Man, 10 fingers and 1 husband is simply not enough. Divergrrl *************************** Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got.... :-P
