Ring Pics - Cornelis Hollander

[Emmaa]

Hi there!

This is my first post, and after going through allllll 89 pages of the pictures of rings (which are very drooling to look at and I definitly have about 6 favorites), I was wondering if anyone has a Cornelis Hollander ring? I never saw any and he is one of my favorite designers. Any input on this would be great as we are looking to purchase in the next month, and trying to narrow things down!!

I added the link and if you have any input on favorites, pass it on!! I am having a toss up between 3!

I love this kind of design! Modern, architectural. Reminds me of Claude Thibideau (I know I spelt his name wrong). Which ones are you interested in?

By the way, welcome to PS!

Yes they are by far my fav, and I have been looking for quite some time.

Well I have tried on a few and R808 is the only one I liked on the finger. the others were just to ''blocky'' for me. Its gorgeous...better in person that on the website...just doesnt do it justice on there.
Was also looking at R769, R781, R786, R802, but have yet to see them in the flesh!!!

Any opinion?? What are your fav''s?

Welcome to PS!

What a great designer! I really like the clean modern lines of his designs. Some styles do appear a little bulky but this type of style really doesn''t translate well into photographs. I can image they are really something to see in person. I love modern designs that are substantial on the finger.

Some of my favs...

R803/802
RQ024
R830/831
R855/856

Let us know which one you pick.

Very interesting... I guess I am not modern enough since I am not really drawn to this collection of rings. However, I do think that R808 is the best looking one out of all the rings they have presented on their website, which also happens to look great on your finger!

Please let us know what you end up choosing and do not forget to share finger shots once you have chosen!!!

Welcome!

I like the R808, but I think R855/856 are really neat the way the band comes out! Sorry I don''t think they were on your list, but I think they look similar to R802...


Definately come back and post hand shots!!!!

For easier viewing.... here''s your R808 pick

And R802 (one of your alternates).

I love R808! I pretty much like most of them except maybe the offset diamond ones. Love the 855,56,57,58 especially. The ones where the band slides into the center of the e-ring are pretty cool too.

I take it this is an e-ring? When do youthnk you will get it? Do you already have a diamond, or do these rings come as a whole package?

edited to add: Some of the squared off rings also remind me of Eddie Sakamoto. have you seen his stuff?

 

[kcoursolle]

I''m afraid I don''t have any first hand knowledge of him, but his work looks very impressive. I do hope you share your experiences with him if you end up contacting him.

Decisions decisions!!! lol Tried the 802 on, seems bulky, probably cause its square and my fingers are so long and skinny.
