Since quite a few James Meyer rings are rolling into the forum, I thought it would be fun to have a thread devoted to this style.

So...let's see 'em!

Yup--the color is stable. I love the unplated gold, because it''s permanent. I also love the hint of warmth!

I took these pics with a little Canon powershot.

*sigh* I so adore this ring! Even my husband, who could not care less about rings, did a double take when I showed him JM''s website!

Interesting to know about the white gold too-I just read that recently on here about it being rhodium plated! I knew sterling silver is sometimes plated but didn''t know they did that to white gold too! Does yellow gold get plated then too or no?

wg is commonly rhodium plated. I don't like it because it's not permanent, and because I like the warmth and texture of non plated. Rhodium plated gold also tends to have a chrome like finish--some like this look, but I prefer the nonplated.

Yellow gold is not plated, because, it needs to stay...yellow!

I love moonstone--such an interesting gem. Yours is a beauty. Please post more pics if you feel like it. I''d love to see the profile. I love their designs--so simple and modern yet antique at the same time. Wonderful!

Thanks-- the band is from Etsy-- just very lightly textured and super thin!
I''ll try to get pics of the profile a little later
I totally agree about their designs-- simple and so timeless, and I mean TIMELESS.. I could imagine them being in style hundreds/thousands of years ago (and hundreds of years to come!)
(can''t wait to see your''s one day .. heh heh
