It''s Nice to Have OPTIONS!

[MaryAlaina]

I mentioned in my "Band Lover's Paradise" thread that I would have to take some new pix, so here they are. First, a few of my ering style rings.

 

[Gypsy]

You OWN all of those e-rings?

 

[MaryAlaina]

Before anyone asks, I''d say my WF Tiffany replica is my favorite, following by my WF split shank pear and my DBL yellow radiant 3 stone. I''ve been wearing my solitaire probably 90% of the time since I received it.

 

[MaryAlaina]

The "huddle"...

[Gypsy]

MA, who did your pink asscher halo ring? It''s one of the loveliest I''ve seen.

 

[DiamanteBlu]

Holy crap! That''s quite a collection! Impressive!

 

[rainydaze]

p.s. that''s

in a good way, like WOW!

 

[joflier]

Ummm...I just went bling blind

 

[tberube]

The first thing I thought when I saw all of those was "WHAT??!!?!"

It almost seems like a waste because you can''t wear them all a the same time. I can take that pear one off your hands if it needs some exposure!!

gorgeous collection. I assure you we are all greeeeeeeen with envy...

 

[wen104]

Ow My what do I say. That is quite a collection of rings! Hmmm that would be a hard decision on which one to wear on a daily basis. I am a plain person so I love the RB WF Solitare ! Boy your bands really have friends!

 

[studyer83]

So pretty!!
Do you ever wear more than one at a time??

 

[Catmom]

Umm...........WOW!!

 

[Cathers]

In my next life, I want to be your jewellery box

 

[isaku5]

They''re all so beautiful!!! My favourite, though, is the pink haloed beauty

If you don''t mind my asking, who did that one for you???

 

[MaryAlaina]

Oops....power outage. Back now. Anyway, another huddle shot...

 

[MaryAlaina]

And some yellow gold (gotta love that rich 18K color!), most from Tiffany...

 

[MaryAlaina]

Last one!

Actually, the pink halo center stone is a cushion. DBL did that one.

I think that is one way of looking at it. I don''t buy things to wear all the time, however. I buy them to have options. I don''t wear the same clothes or shoes every day, nor do I carry the same handbag every day. Why should I wear the same jewelry every day? I absolutely love being able to wear rings that match the mood I''m in, the clothes I''m wearing, the activities I''m doing. I know not everyone is this way, but luckily hubby doesn''t mind that I am!

Yes, often I will wear one on my left hand and one on my right (with or without a band for each).

Thanks for letting me share!

Only in my wildest dreams...

Wowweee! Great collection. I have to agree with you on WF Tiff replica - totally love

[Loves2Laugh]

WOW... I think I''m blind! Your collection is stunning!

 

[Steel]

Congratulations on such a wonderful collection; I am sure you deserve every shiny inch of it!

Would you pretty please share which was your 1st or original engagement ring/set/band?

Then I would love to know the order in which your collection grew.

 

[somethingshiny]

This thread should come with a WARNING label. Not only am I blind, but I think I need a new keyboard-this one seems to be all wet!


Very nice!!

My original engagement ring held the diamond that is now in the Sakamoto platinum and yellow gold ring. At the time we got engaged, hubby purchased that 1 ct. diamond. We looked for settings together, but did not agree. He liked plain ones and I liked ones with side stones. We ended up having it set in something that was a compromise- it was 2 tone (white and yellow gold) with kind of a wave in the band. I was thrilled to have a 1 ct. stone, but never crazy about that band.

After hubby sold a company he started, he bought me the 2.28ct stone that is now in the WF Tiffany replica, but we had it set in the yellow gold invisible 3.22 ct. mounting.

Later, knowing I love Sakamoto, he surprised me with that ring, and I had the jewelers put my original stone in it.

I'm not sure I know the order of all the rest! I had purchased a smaller yellow from DBL and upgraded to this 3 ct. one a few years ago. I had purchased a pear from DBL that was stolen in transit with UPS, and I bought this one to replace it, first setting it in a cathedral solitaire, and then in its permanent home in the split shank. Hubby bought me the asscher in the pave setting for our anniversary 3 years ago. The antique round one and marquise were in the middle somewhere. I bought the pink halo earlier this year. Hmmm.....hard to keep them all straight!
