5 stone, bracelet, eternity or something else?

[pinkprashu]

All, I am wondering if you could help me pick out an item to add to my collection that will get good use. The only caveat is it should be from Whiteflash. Long story here...

Not the tennis bracelets. The White Flash diamond bangle you already own kind of legislates tennis bracelets out of existence for a couple of decades. It's just the perfect bracelet.

I'd go with the classic Annette U-prong. I think eternities are a little more classic than 5-stone rings.

What about a WF necklace to go with all those rings and bracelets?

Thank you. I think the eternity would be a good choice as well and will be versatile as I can wear it during client meetings by itself without the Ering.

I forgot to mention that I have a 0.35 ct AGS 000 dbty in yellow gold that I wear everyday and I also have the Whiteflash XO pendant in platinum that I wear when I am not wearing the dbty.

Since you have the WF bangle and just got those luscious Tiffany and Cartier pieces, I'd nix the bracelet idea for the time being.

I don't think I'd choose another wedding band either as you have several choices there.

I do like the idea of a five stone or eternity for your right hand. I chose a two carat five stone because from the top side down, that's what I would have seen even if I had an eternity band. Because it was going to be worn on the right hand, I wondered how the diamonds on the underside would fair as my right hand is my dominant hand. Thought about car doors, grocery carts and all the things I do with my right hand and opted to go with a five stone vs. an eternity. However, I think eternities are so beautiful and luxurious and if you are going to wear it on the left hand in place of your wedding set, all the more reasonable. Only you can determine how and when you'd wear it and how careful you would want to have to be with it. I'm sure there will be others here that have diamond eternity bands that can chime in with their experiences.

At any rate, your possibilities are fun and exciting! Can't wait to see what you choose! Have you thought about possibly upgrading your studs? Might be a fun project as well though I guess then your earring jackets wouldn't fit - uh oh! More dilemma!

I agree with MGR that you have plenty of options for wedding bands and bracelets.

I actually would also now vote for the 5 stone ring because it can have larger stones than an eternity and you also can wear it as a wedding band when you don't want to wear your e-ring, and it can be a RHR if you can choose a size that would work on both hands. I would not wear an eternity on my right hand because it would probably not be long before I'd have damaged diamonds! But I do wear my five stone band occasionally on my left hand when I am going somewhere I don't want to wear a 2+ ct e-ring. I'd probably do .30 stones unless you get a very low setting like MGR's Memoire which allows her to have .40 stones that are low and curve around her finger.

I'd go for a five-stone ring or some dangly earrings. For the earrings, something like WF's DBTY earrings, or these http://www.whiteflash.com/diamond-earrings/inspiration-al-diamond-earring-settings-403.htm, or bezeled diamonds suspended from a shepherd's crook type of look.

Thank you MissGotRocks. I have to be careful with the eternity worn on the right hand as I am hard on my jewelry. I think right now my budget only permits 1.25 ctw 5 stone. I will have to check with Whiteflash to see if they can work with my budget to get me larger stones.

About the studs, I have a 1.3 ct ACA in a 3/4 eternity setting from white flash that I use when I am with clients. I am thinking about upgrading to 2.6 ctw studs if I can get another 1.3 ct ACA but that is not within my budget at this time

Luckily both my right and left are the same size and it looks like a 5 stone will get more use as it will not have the problems that I would have with an eternity on the right hand.

I will check with Whiteflash to see if they can do 30 pointers within my budget if I change the color requirement.

Which style of 5 stone would sit low? A shared prong or Trellis or U prong?

Thank you VRbeauty. it looks like everyone thinks a 5 stone is the better option. I will talk to whiteflash today.

This trellis looks really nice and low:

You are very lucky to wear the same size on both ring fingers!!!

 

[pinkprashu]

The trellis option is the most expensive but that's what appeals to me as well.

Yes, it looks like a high quality setting and is what I'd personally choose, too. I'd emphasize in writing that you want the stones set low just like the picture.

You know, I just noticed that they sell stock it with 25 point stones. That might be okay if the 30 pts is outside of your budget.

 

[PintoBean]

Love the five stone. I like the idea that if I'm not feeling secure in my surroundings, I can turn it upside down and have a "plain band" on my finger.

 

[FancyDiamond]

I love Trellis 5-stone ring, but 17-pt diamonds may be too small. I think stones of 30-50 points are better. If I were you, I would change your dbty bracelet to a dbty NECKLACE. 17-pt diamonds are a nice size for necklace. You can add more stations depending on the necklace length and/or spacing, or leave the number of seven as is and place all diamonds close to the front. As for the 5-stone Trellis band, I would start out new.

 

[FancyDiamond]

Forgot to comment on the poking aspect. Poking is not as much a problem for necklace as bracelet. I have two duty necklaces, and I do not feel poking.
