Name Question: Ariel or Sebastian?

[caolsen]

I don’t normally go for princess cut stones but when the I NEED THAT feeling strikes, a girl is as powerless as Cinderella who can’t go to the ball because of an unfair parental power dynamic or Snow White and the morally ambiguity of consent with being kissed while unconscious. But while I hated those classic Disney princess movies, I jammed on The Little Mermiad. Maybe I needed some color in my princesses…

Just pulled the trigger on the 1 carat fancy brown, kind of orangyey-pink princess from DBL. It is set with two classsic side stones in a white and rose, brown gold setting.

The PRONGS…just look at those prongs. I must have been a prong in a prior life because that’s what makes or breaks pieces for me. I am such a sucker for a good claw prong, like a little Sebastian the Crab claw holding my stones for me.

The are DBL’s photos, hand shots when she arrives.

Ariel is absolutely my favorite Disney Princess and still by favorite soundtrack. So I voted for Ariel. However I named my kitty Sebastian.

What a cutie Mr. Sebastian is!

Those claws make me think Sebastian!! Love it. One of the earliest movie memories I have

I think of Ariel as red and turquoise. I vote Sebastian.

I had voted Sebastian but it’s a princess should hand a princess name.

The descriptions of the classics are making me laugh

Beauty and the Beast is my favourite. Always has been. The Little Mermaid is an awfully close second though!!

Ariel. But now I’m wondering just how many of us may have been prongs in prior lives?

I'd call her Coral. Obviously for her color, but mainly because she's too feminine to be a Sebastian, and Coral was a shy mermaid who played cymbals in Sebastian's orchestra. In other words - someone who packed more WHAM than apparent at first glance!

i dont do Disney princess but seeing your stone i get the connection (althought thankfully i know neither the movie or the sound track)
its a beautiful ring and the colour is lovelly and defiatly deserves a name you love

sorry to insult the dear kitty above but my uncle had a chewawawa (excuse spelling) called Sebastian

oh i love this
i was trying to remember if the little mermaid had a name before i read your post but your idea is much more classic
if she had been blue i would have called her Marina for the mute girl in Stingray

Derailing thread here but now I’m wondering if we’re close in age because this could have come right out of my mouth.

Also, I’m going to second Mrs.B and say Coral. It’s perfect!

Sebastian! Ariel seems too feminine for this ring. The brown with the straight lines of the baguettes give me a "strong" vibe so I'm
going with the male name! Besides, "Sebastian" is sooo cute and just sounds full of character!

I'm with you on the "claw" prong analogy!

Sebastian was the winner and he arrived this morning. The setting is very substantial, a comfy and wearable ring. This is my first purchase from Diamonds by Lauren and David was great to work with.

Sebastian is quite a bit smaller than most of my rings but fancy colored diamonds are more about their color than their size, right? That said this is a fancy yellow, orange & brown modifiers.

But look at this little stone (5mm) punching above it’s weight, in the morning sunlight. No filters Amazing rosé tones in this little coral firecracker!

Here’s a hand shot, indoor light.

I’m a sucker for prongs too! And those are outstanding.
The color of that stone as well. A kaleidoscope of coral, pink, peach…Wowzers!
The name Sebastian…perfect.
So glad everyone here names their stones. I always have and thought it might be considered weird until I found you all so thank you!
On the Princess topic I must admit my fave princess is Cinderella. Growing up I was not allowed to play with Barbie dolls (my mother thought they were too “developed” which I never understood so I simply waited until I got to my best friends house and played there!)
Anyway at the risk of TMI, my mother wasn’t a fan of Cinderella either so, of course, Cinderella remains my favorite!!!!

Stunning ring!! DBL seems to make the most beautiful, substantial yet elegant settings.
