ItalianHairColor!!! Are you holding out??

[CrookedRock]

I just noticed you avatar!!! What is that sucker? Are you holding out on us? I also read that you are the proud owner of a Euro shank! I too decided to go that route (still waiting though...lol). Would you mind sharing pics??

 

[CrookedRock]

BUMP!

Where did she go??

 

[Italiahaircolor]

LOL...my avatar is my vision of a drool ring! My DH and I have talked about investing in estate piece such as that one...you, a piece I wouldn''t wear but would keep as an assest safely tucked away in a safety depo box at a bank.

My own personal engagement ring is a 2.23ct princess cut, very contempo with a matching 3/4 eternity band. I did opt for the euro shank/rocker bottom. It was personal choice that reflected my lifestyle and how I "wear" my rings. But, I have absolutely no regrets...it has worked out. And I am sure you''ll feel the same way...it just "feels" good to wear it!

I dont know how to take good pictures of my ring! I have tried a couple of times, but the pics are blurry and they just dont do the ring any justice...Although, if you have any suggestions, I''ll be happy to take pictures and post them ASAP.

Thanks!

Beautiful rings, Italianhaircolor!
I love your husband''s ring as well. I have never seen one like that. Is it a custom design?

 

[Italiahaircolor]

Yes. We had all of our rings custom made. His ring is pretty awesome...it has the 5 princess cut gypsy set princess cuts rotated..and then has RB stones set on both sides, also gypsy and they are eternity set.

Thanks for answering!

My bf has been interested in checking out wb''s and I''ll show him your pic to see if he thinks ...

Thanks again for sharing your pics. Your ring is gorgeous!

 

[CrookedRock]

Thanx so much for sharing! I think your rings are fabulous!!! Your pics aren''t horrible, maybe try using the macro mode, which is the little flower button. Did you have a local jeweler make them?

 

[Italiahaircolor]

Thanks Spark and Crooked.

Crooked: Yes. We had a local jeweler make all three rings at the same time. It was a long hard road to find the right jeweler...which I am sure isn''t a rare thing. But, it our story is very interesting...

Spark: My DH had the same problem finding the right ring for him. We took two designs we loved...and mixed it up!

Hey there, sorry it took me so long to get back to this... Your rings really are great, I just love when people step outside the box and get creative. I can''t quite give away the ring yet, mostly bc I am really crossing my fingers that Mr. Leon Mege will consider taking the project over and giving it his own twist. For now all I can say is Radiant between 3-4 cts, 3 sided total pave. Center at 45 degree angle... Thats all for now, but you never know what Leon will create if he decides to take the project!
