Please help me find cool, modern e-ring

[Po10472]

I swap my original set with my 5 stone depending on the mood I''m in and if I want more bling.

Wow, Circe, the MaeVona rings are gorgeous!

I was looking around on Google and saw this pic and thought of your thread. It may be a little more than what she wants but I thought it was unique and modern but also feminine. It''s also similar to some of the others posted but with a little extra.

Wow, such stunning rings! Thank you all for your finds! I''m starting to get RHR fever...

But, back to my friend. I ran these suggestions by her & she LOVES the ring by Knox Jewelers. Great find, ksourelle!

She was concerned that she couldn''t find the matching band on Knox''s site. Do you know if there is a matching band? Ksourelle, what did your frind go with as a wedding band?

I guess she could always have one custom made... Po, that''s what you wound up doing for yours, right? I''ve never seen your original band--so pretty. (I drool over your 5-stone all the time!)

My friend said she & her bf also prefer half bezel settings to full bezel settings.

Personally, I also love the Scholdt & Etienne Perret rings too, but I think she may be nervous that prices aren''t listed online. Littledebbie, I contacted Etienne when I was e-ring shopping as well & found his prices to be pretty reasonable.
Lucky you to wear a size 3!

Selike, I really like the Golden Gate ring too--it reminds me of the Etienne Perret rings.

Thanks for all of your fabulous suggestions! I think my friend is making progress.

Oops, I forgot to attach a pic of the ring my friend loves at Knox. Here it is. Any ideas for a wedding band to match?

ETA: does this qualify as a bezel setting, a tension setting or something else?

 

[mirre]

Yay for progress!

You''ll have to take her hand pics for her and post them for us to see once she gets it!

 

[mirre]

Here''s a wedding set that is similar to the ring you posted. It would give her an idea about how to do a wedding ring. The link has several other pictures of rings. They design custom wedding rings to fit erings. It tells all about it on the site.

My all-time favorite modern e-ring is the Tiffany Etoile, but I love them all (all those posted!).

 

[mercoledi]

It''s a bezel setting, unlike the boone rings which are tension set. You can see the super-slim bezel goes all the way around, even where the "arms" don''t. As for a band, I wonder if you could wear a normal curved w-band with that design, it doesn''t seem unreasonable.

 

[mirre]

I''m not sure it will work with the last ring you posted but on the one from Boone''s I think the band that is listed with the pear sculpted ring also goes with the round sculpted ring.

http://www.boonerings.com/htmpages/sculptedpearcompanion.htm

they are both called sculpted rings and their bands are called companion bands.

 

[BrightSpot]

Hey mirre,

I think that companion band would definitely work with the Boone''s ring I posted. I checked with Knox & they don''t have a stock piece to match the 2nd ring I posted, but could custom make one for around $700. So, all said & done, the Knox & Boone sets (e-ring setting & w-band) would be around the same price. I guess it depends if she prefers titanium/tension set or white gold/bezel set.

Do you guys think a .75-ish diamond would look nice in the e-rings?

I would call it a semi-bezel. If you look at the side pics it''s not technically held in place with tension.

As far as getting a band to match I think my friend is going to get a plain band and wear it on her opposite hand. She doesn''t want to take away from the symmetry or uniqueness of the e-ring. I think the custom idea would work too, she could get something made by knox that hugs one side of the e-ring.

I think a .75 would look great! My friend has something around a .67 and it looks fantastic and also looks much larger that it''s carat weight!!

Here is another that I found that is similar

 

[mirre]

The two together...

 

[AmandaFace]

how about a green sapphire? since shes active, it would be a better option durability wise than a tsav.

this is my set which i designed w/ my hubby and a local jeweler. i too wanted some "sturdy" a little modern and suitable to wear everyday since im rough on things.

 

[ringster]

thanks brightspot!

glad you like my ering


i almost got this one. i was looking for an OEC to put in it. i didn''t think i''d like bezel or half bezel until i saw this. it is of course more delicate in person than this pic

sholdt design

 

[ringster]

side view


ETA : looking back now, i should have asked the jeweler about the fact that there is NO opening at the bottom of area that would let you clean the pavillion. not sure how that part gets cleaned unless they just mold the ring around and there is no leeway for stuff to get in the cracks.

Since you like the setting from knox, I could not help but to post a similar custom setting that WhiteFlash has created for a customer recently. The last I heard, they were in the process of creating a wedding band. That was about 4 months ago, so it might be worth checking out. Also, they describe it as a half bezel design.

Here is another custom design by WF, the wedding band is pictured with the setting...

oops...here it is

Actually, Celina from WF e-mailed me this design after I asked her more about the Embrace setting. From what she told me, the pictured ring was designed to hold a 1ct center stone, it was made in platinum and the total cost was $2000 (as of 6/29/07). I am not sure whether the price of the setting included the wedding band though.

ETA: stats on the Embrace setting are as follows: .95ct diamond, platinum & $1280 (as of 11/06).

"And now for something completely different..."


This is what I had the first time around and I adored it. Less traditional than contemporary platinum and diamond rings... 24 karat gold and diamonds. They're modern in their simplicity and purity, yet somewhat primitive. The gold can be hammered or more smooth - but it never has the mirror shime of 18K or platinum and obviously it *only* comes in yellow. Rich, warm, buttery yellow. As with tension sets, I think there's a diamond size limit for 24K and prongs are out of the question. I've seen ovals, marquises and emerald cut diamonds (wow) set in 24K.

Anyhow... here are a just a few 24K and diamond rings.

 

[Ninama]

Here''s a 3/4 ct oval in 22K gold (which holds it''s shape more that 24K)...

 

[talen316]

A few other suggestions as well...

There''s a designer up in Boston by the name of James Kaya. He has some beautiful designs...
http://www.jameskaya.com/

Also, Cornelis Hollander has some very cool stuff. They will also customize for you to combine design features of their various models, etc.

[surfgirl]

Have you looked at Stuart Moore? He''s got a lot of German/Dutch designers with very contemporary designs. We got hubby''s wband there and they had really interesting settings, if you like modern.

I really like some of the unique designs from Krikawa...
