Helping my mom find a replacement ring!

[pearaffair]

You know how they say that if a ring is loose, it can fall off when you go swimming? Well it’s TRUE!

My mom lost her wedding band in the ocean. She mourned the loss but is over it now. It was a 14k yellow gold channel band with round diamonds. Not really her style- she prefers white metals nowadays.

She likes my aunt’s ring (photo on a finger) and I found some rings similar. My mom’s ring size is 8.5 for a thin band so I’m guessing 9.5 for a wide one.

If you spot any deals, let me know! My mom and dad are prepared to spend $3k but they’re frugal people so lower is better! Preloved is fine, too. Probably best if the band has the option to be resized, as opposed to being an eternity band.

And a big shout out to @Niel who has been helping me hunt for my mom as my mom tries to figure out what the heck she actually wants Thanks niel!!!!

Most of my pics are from stuller, but if you guys have seen a preloved style anywhere let me know!

@pearaffair I thought I might have found a candidate; however, the size is too far off from being sizeable.

Have you had a spin through Ruby Lane at all? Sometimes there are some great pieces on there that are just waiting for the right buyer to stumble along and give them a home. I found a few on there browsing through (while watching this boring Super Bowl game); some may be sizeable, but not sure. Either way, I thought I’d pass them along in the event they may be of interest or even perhaps inspiration for having something custom made for her.

That does look to be a nice buy!

One of the rings is Simon g. I have sold my Simon g on eBay so I would look there.

Thank you so so much for all of your hunting! I looked at everything and showed my mom and also had a terrible cold so I didn't get back to anyone. Sorry about that!

My mom is totally changing her mind... we are now looking for a setting like this:

https://www.moissaniteco.com/semibezel-round-forever-one-moissanite-bypass-solitaire-p-20964.html

I thought MoCo used stuller settings but I can't find it on their site.

 

[cokitty]

The closest setting I could find was this one on BlueNile
https://www.bluenile.com/build-your-own-ring/monique-lhuillier-eternal-solitaire-engagement-ring-platinum_56053?elem=img&track=product&vtype=sample

This one also has a smooth bypass style but I did not think the prongs looked as nice

I think they also use Adwar and Unique Settings for some ring mounts.
