Does anybody have a GRADUATED 5 stone ring?

[whitby_2773]

so, i have a collection of stones - 2 x .25, 2 x .32, and i''m thinking of getting a .4 and doing a 5 stone graduated ring with leon.

does anybody have a graduated band? i''m not sure what style i want so all styles, modern and antique, would be welcome.

hopeful thanks in advance,

This is a gorgeous Leon but with bigger stones of course- just for ideas:

whitby! I'm on the same train...lol I've been looking into a graduated five stone and have already spoken to WF about it this morning, but with .40-.50 center anyhow I don't have my own pictures since I'm still researching, however here is one I want to mirror myself.

hi neatfreak

i see rings like that and i''m just not on the same page! that ring is amazing! having seen a few of a similar style, tho, i do wonder whether i should bump the center stone up a little, say, to around .5ct. i also might put tapered baguettes on the sides. so many choices!

Hi whitby,

I have a graduated 5 stone. It''s one ctw and is a shared prong. Here it is with my sapphire ring. I think using your diamonds that way would be a great idea!

Love the bezels DT!

Holy $h!t, NF. That is just stunning. Do you mind if I ask where you got that pic? Doesn''t look like the view I saw on his site but I could be remembering wrong. Are you thinking of a similar setting for your 5 stone?

 

[whitby_2773]

D&T-

love the bezels! and i'm actually thinking of bezels as one of the possibilities - something along *these* lines (granted, not a bezel as such, but a ring with the stones set *into* it)....

what do you think?

Hi whitby,

Catmom - THANKS!

that's really helpful - and close to what i'm picturing, should i go down the shared prong path as opposed to doing a bezel or milgrain of some description.

would you mind giving me the sizes of the stones? i'm having the most problems trying to get a sense of proportion on this.

thanks Michelle

and by the way - your five stone with your sapphire is, as woobug would say, WOOOOOOOOO!

 

[D&T]

maybe something like, not a single bezeled off diamond here is another one. but not as graduated.

 

[D&T]

this is from uniquesettings.com

this is considered channel set center is .30, 2- .25, 2- .20 and 2- .15

 

[D&T]

just giving you some ideas on different type of settings. feel free to disregard any

1- .20, 2- .15, 2 - .12

 

[D&T]

this looks graduated but not too sure. thought I throw this look in there as well

I like that, looks like it has a vintage kind of flare to it ehh?

I know you''ve seen my ring before, but I wanted to post handshots for perspective.

Size is 8. Stones graduate from 0.25, 0.33, 0.38, 0.36, 0.29

I love your ring.. love love love it.

And what do you think of my lovely age spots??

Girls....... WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN!!

I think something like this (minus the huge center stone) would be lovel. Its a Mark Morrell.

EDIT - darn the picture didnt come across.

Here is the link...its 3/4 down the page and its a 7 stone with a large center stone. I think a 5
stone version of this would be lovely (minus the big center stone).

love yours, meluppy - and you know that i do! i want a yellow gold shank, but a plat/white gold head. i've gone back and forth on this a thousand times and am no closer to making a decision. if i could make a decision on it i'd pull the trigger for Christmas and send the stones off to leon in early october. i like the amount of graduation that you have - that's about what i have in mind; i still want to wear it against a wedding band, so i dont want the angle to be too acute.

honestly - i've gone back and forth on this zillion times....

I really like the Caleb Meyer design that you have posted. I think it could easily be modified to a graduated design. It''s too bad no one has a positive project to post of his work.

thank you so much! i LOVE that setting! in fact - having seen it, i'm now tempted to get a quote from MWM. i'm wondering who will be easiest to work with, also.

that ring is gorgeous!

 

[whitby_2773]

D&T - thank you so much! can you tell me where the photo of the gold ring came from? i really like it - reminds me of upgradable''s, which i''ve always loved.

please keep me up to date with your progress on this project, and i''ll let you know if i make any firm decisions.

 

[ms.halo]

I''m sure Leon would have some great suggestions! I personally love the "bezeled" with milgrain piece that you posted.

 

[legra]

I also love the milgrain ring - I am partial to an antique look.

I have a graduated 5 stone that was my grandmother''s. I don''t have any pictures (sorry!) but I really love it! It''s a little over 1 ctw and the center stone is about 1/3 of a carat, so a little smaller than yours would be. I actually prefer graduated 5 stones to 5 stones with the diamonds that are all the same size...although I wouldn''t turn down one of the WF or BGD 5 stones that have been floating around here lately!

 

[anyname]

my engagement ring is a graduated 5 stone. It goes .05, .10, .9, .10, 05. My finger size is 6.25-6.5 and when i learn to post pictures i will.
