my moms rings

[smiles]

i have enjoyed looking at everyones beautiful rings for so long... and no truly appreciate how hard it is to a) get good pictures and b) format them properly. i just wanted to share my moms rings... this one is her wedding band (although she actually got married with a plain band)

 

[smiles]

this is her wedding band with engagement ring. i have no specs but its obviously a pear (much whiter in person) approx. 1 carat with 2 small baguette diamonds on the sides

 

[smiles]

this ring is actually 2 engagement rings combined (her mothers and grandmothers) she designed it herself. my grandmother was apprently going to divide it up into 2 or 3 rings to give grandsons to give eventually to someone but she had only one grandson when she passed away so my mom bought the other 2/3 of the diamonds (she is 1 of 3 children) from her 2 brothers and made this... i hope to do the same with my sisters and keep this is a family heirloom....

just an idea of the setting.. it sits pretty high...

 

[smiles]

i dont know any specs on this one either but i believe the 2 bigger stones are in and around the 1 carat range too... this is just a fun comparison in size... thanks for letting me indulge!

Wow, that is a lot of bling! That is sweet she was able to use both diamonds in one piece.

what a beautiful set! the band is so unique, and looks great with the pear. now as for the other ring. holy bling! my eyes almost popped out of my head! excuse me, i have to go find them now...

that is a very special piece, enjoy it!

thanks everybody for the kind comments its funny because the rings are all so different and i have 2 sisters and each one fits our personalities so well ... we are each drawn to a different ring! my mom has thought about taking the ring and making it into a necklace (in the same form) b/c she thinks it will protect the diamonds more.. you guys are the experts.. i think its amazingly unique as a ring but do you think it would make more sense as a pendant??
