If you guys have nothing better to do today...what would be your top 5

 

[Cleopatra]

I don''t have a top 5, but I do have a Top 2!

This one is my #1 Favorite! I LOVE the diamonds in the head and I adore the knife edge band...so classic, yet unique!

And My #2 Favorite:

http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/ritani-jewelry/rings/30QQ1/60/

You just can''t go wrong with a solitaire (with some added decoration

)

 

[Sparkalicious]

Okay Jiltedgen ... here you go... Nice choices!

I forget how big your center stone was going to be, b/c my selections might vary based on the size of the center stone ... something you might want to keep in mind.

1 - Scott Kay
2 - Alex Soldier
3 - Ritani
4 - Ritani
5 - Ritani

Please, please, please let us know what you decide. This is so exciting!!

Beautful choices, all of them really.

When I saw your "narrowed down" list I was thinking WOW...thats narrowed down? lol
I''m in the same boat as you are, but I think I''ve finally settled on the setting I want...

 

[mrssalvo]

cool list. she''s going to have a tough time choosing but i think it''s awesome your letting her. are you planning on ordering through pearlmans? you are definitley cutting it close with a dec. 20 deadline but you just never know what they can do. keep us posted.

bill pearlman actually sent me a jane taylor to look at not too long ago and it was quite something. i love that design of the one you linked to and having seen the quality of her work i have to vote for that one!

i have also seen michael bondanza''s pieces and they are sooooo precise and lovely. however, part of the charm of his work IMO are the sharp details and the mirror-like surfaces he achieves. my concern for myself when i was looking at his settings was how quickly that effect would be lost as the ''platinum patina'' set in. i don''t think i would care for that effect on his pieces; i would want to keep that amazing mirror finish. maybe someone with experience can chime in on this, or you could ask bill about this if it would be a concern for you.

best of luck, i can''t wait to see what you end up with!

Easy Peasy

#1 - Ritini - Smaller tapered bead set
http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/ritani-jewelry/rings/30QQ1/60/

#2 - Jane Taylor - Split shank pave
http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/jane-taylor-jewelry/rings/43L1/30/

#3 - Scott Kay - (1st one) Crisscross head w/bead set pave head & band
http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/scott-kay-jewelry/rings/157U1/0/


I hope Pearlman's has sizeable versions in stock because there is no way those manufacturers could make one from scratch in less than 4-6 weeks.

Two win for me:

Good Luck!

I like any of the thinner bands--many are in a similar "family" of styles. My personal bias would be to go with a thinner shank as opposed to a chunky one unless you know she likes them . I don''t know what your stone size is, but thinner shanks make stones look bigger and are so pretty......

Ok, I started this not realizing how many rings there were, and how tired I am at this moment. So, I wasn''t able to narrow it down to 5, but for what it''s worth I will tell you the ones I rejected as I looked, and a few comments I wrote on others. Also, it should be noted that channel-set is not my personal favorite, so I usually rejected them right off the bat, but if you/she like channel-set, by all means go for it.

Those I rejected:

Possibly the fact that I wrote "pretty" after 30QQ1/60 makes it my favorite, but I would have to sit for a while and really compare all of them to know for sure. I hope this helps!
