::raises hand:: I have a question!

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

About 5-stone rings. I was wondering...if I wanted to get a 5-stone to wear as a standalone ring (RHR), what size stones should I be looking at? I wear a 3.5 so I''m not sure how big/small I can/should go, and I''d appreciate any guidance you guys can give me. I''d like the full finger coverage on top, but my fingers are pretty narrow. There''s been a lot of talk about class rings lately (around campus I mean) and I was thinking of saving up the next year and doing something like this (either 5 diamonds, or 3 diamonds, 2 colored stones - probably something red because red and white are both my university and law school''s colors) instead of a class ring I''ll never wear again. Thoughts?

Thank you!

Have you seen Kt''s moms? DROOL.

I''d do .25 to .30 pointers for a five stone. If you are only doing two diamonds (and two small ones in the bezel area). I''d get red spinels for the colored stones.

Hi Gypsy! Thanks for replying!

I did see KT''s moms...it was actually what inspired the idea. I e-mailed Lesley about it actually so great minds think alike

I''m just not sure what would be too big, y''know? I don''t know if I could pull off 3 pointers...I was thinking maybe either .20 or .25?

Also, I did like the idea of getting myself a diamond RHR to celebrate my "official" entry into adulthood (i.e. full-time job). I forget where I heard this (it might''ve been PS) but it was about how a woman should feel comfortable buying herself a diamond ring before a man does....

Ok, stopping rambling.

Have you seen AmberGretchen's beautiful five stone? She had it made with diamonds and tsavorites.

The rings is TDF! Totally on my wishlist. I think that''s a great idea instead of a class ring. I second the .25 to .30 pointers for full coverage. I also love kcoursolle''s ring which are .30 pointers on a small finger like yours. Hope she doesn''t mind me posting this.

Ooh I was looking for that thread earlier - thanks for linking it! I LOVE her tsav ring - THAT was actually the inspiration for possibly doing diamonds/red stones

Ooh thanks for the link! I LOVE Kcoursolle''s 5-stone. Stunning!

So a .30 wouldn''t look too big? I would love more bling...

I have a 5 stone on a size 6.5 finger. Its .8 tcw. I wear it as a wedding band with my ering but when I wear it
alone I have DSS and would have wanted something bigger (probably 1ctw). But on fingers your size (very tiny!)
I think .8 would be just fine! I think the only real way of knowing is to get out there and try some one unless
you can find some PSers with close to your finger size with 5 stoners in different sizes to show you (I''ll keep my
fingers crossed).

Here is a standalone picture of my 5 stoner...

this is taken at arms length

I wear a size 4.5 and my band has .255 diamonds. If I wore it alone I would love to go bigger. I think .30 would look great on your tiny hands.

I love the idea of getting a 5 stone instead of a class ring! Something you''ll actually wear and enjoy!

As for size. I have no clue. I have this fear that when I go to get 5 stone someday, the stones will be too big and uncomfortable. Prolly, silly, but it''s there.

Hmm so it seems like I might be able to go anywhere from ~0.15 to 0.30 or so. This is going to be tough to decide. I'll also have to take a look at budget, but if this is going to be my splurge and gift to myself, I think you guys know which way I'll lean

ETA: I just checked out your thread, and I LOVE the size of those diamonds - they look great on your hand!

Haha I''m sure it won''t be uncomfortable! What size would you probably get if and when you get your 5 stone?

 

[kittybean]

BEG, I have a size 2.5 finger, and .15 stones give me full finger coverage in a five-stone ring. Maybe .20-.25 would be the right size for you?

In the hypothetical future, I'll probably go with .20 or .25 stones. After trying on 8 million and 4, of course.

ETA: When I said uncomfortable, what I meant was that I worry the stones will overhang the top of my finger, and rub the adjoining fingers. Which would drive me up the wall.

I may just get a 3 stone.

Safer that way.

Hey Kittybean! Wow you have TINY fingers! Hmm...in that case, I think you may be right about going .20-.25. I did try on a 5 stone at Tiffanys a while back but I have no idea what the stone sizes were (although I remember it was blingy and I loved it

)

Oh I see what you mean. Yeah I wouldn''t want any overhang and discomfort either.

Of course, if you get the 3 stone, you cold go even blingier, without the discomfort issue, and that''s a definite plus....

Great minds think alike.
