2 ct. NON-Ering/RHR

P: 6/2/2008 4:45:19 PM
MaryAlaina Ideal Rock Total Posts: 651 Last Post: 2/4/2009 Member Since: 9/3/2003	If you had a 2 ct. diamond that you wanted to use in a RHR, how would you set it so it wouldn't look too e-ring-ish? I'd love to see pix of examples, either with other stones or not.

I'd also consider a halo for a RHR. Or make a combo of halo and E/W Are you using a 2 carat stone for a RHR? Sounds like a very fun project, what are you thinking of doing?

I don't mind my pictures being used. I put them on a worldwide online forum... PS'ers will often post others pictures, but credit is usually given to the owner of the piece in the picture. Considering I just posted it last week, I thought it was odd bc it wasn't like someone couldn't figure who it belonged to. Also the OP was asking for RHR and whatever your opinion may be of my ring, I understand you like it, it is my engagement ring, so for someone to call it a cocktail type ring just seemed a lil off to me... I'm not angry just giving you a friendly PS heads up on how we normally do things...

MustangGal Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,179 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 6/18/2004	How about a 3 stone with gemstone sides? I'm thinking pear cut side stones, in a fairly large size, and made so that it's level with the center? That would look less engagement-ish and more RHR. Another idea would be set low in a wide band with engraving or detailing.

tradergirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 571 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 1/26/2008	I have a 2 ct. very light pink sapphire which looks like a pink diamond and I am in the process of having this done with it as a RHR http://www.jalbrechtfinejewelry.com/customengagementvintage2.html 4th one down. I also think that big one looks like a cocktail ring. Again, why is that considered so insulting? Nuts!

DiamondGirly Rough Rock Total Posts: 56 Last Post: 7/17/2008 Member Since: 5/2/2008	Aren't 2ct rings that aren't engagement rings basically cocktail rings? I don't know how you're going to sport a 2ct diamond on your right hand without it looking either too "cocktailish" or too much like an Ering (sorry you hate that term)

I'd love to see pix of examples, either with other stones or not. I think that whenever you have a diamond in the center of a ring, because of the symbolism of a diamond, it is going to look like an engagement ring. I think it is rude to refer to someone's e-ring as a cocktail ring, and when it was said about my ring, I was called "sensative", yet the flip side of the coin is that these comments are INsensative! There have been a lot of comments from people not knowing that this is considered an insult. Well now you know. It is. Crooked Rock's ring looks like what it is - a beautiful engagement ring. Calling it a cocktail ring tries to rob it of it's special sentiment and meaning.

Also, taken in a vacuum, a large center stone surrounded by a halo looks like a cocktail ring to me. I wasn't trying to rob anyone's ring of its meaning. Who cares what I think anyway -- I'm a total stranger!!!!

MaryAlaina Ideal Rock Total Posts: 651 Last Post: 2/4/2009 Member Since: 9/3/2003	I think most PSers who have been here a while do not like the term "cocktail ring". First of all, it is dated. Secondly, it gives the image of an ugly ring with a clump of small diamonds without any real pleasing design to the ring. (At least this is the image I get in MY mind when someone uses that term.) Also, halo rings have been all the rage for several years now, and to suggest that a halo ring looks like a "cocktail ring" is ridiculous in my opinion, unless someone is totally unversed on current jewelry fashion and terms used. I realized some people are new here, and possibly that is their situation. Anyway, back to my main point...I may have a 2 ct. round stone that I want to set in a ring that I can wear without people thinking it is an engagement ring. (I have enough e-ring style rings!) I'm trying to find something unusual. I already have halo and split shank rings. I know we have a creative bunch on here, so I thought I'd see what you could come up with!
