Show me your "minimalist" rings!

[velouriaL]

Help my friend brainstorm settings for e-ring!
She wants something "minimalist, sleek, low, comfortable, casual." Though it may seen contradictory, she also likes "antique-y" settings.
Anyone got some eye candy to start her wheels turning?

Edited to add that the center stone need not be a diamond.
Edited once again to add that low ctw is just fine by her...

Someone just mentioned Larry Pauling today:

And Sholdt Design has several pieces which could qualify...

Then, Greenlakejewelry shows both rustic/ minimalist designs and handmade platinum filigree (the real deal !). In some designs, "old" and "simple" come together. Good thing the pictures from their website cannot be linked here, because I might have listed them all...

OH MAN!!!

I love all those rings. The ones from Green Lake remind me of snow happy and mrssalvos rings!

 

[velouriaL]

Valeria to the rescue once again! Thanks for kicking off this thread!

She says that something like a smaller (.5 center, .25 sides), anitique-ified version of this Mark Morrell beauty would fit the bills, except with a blue sapphire as the center stone.

Any ideas?

 

[Maxine]

Here''s ONE sapphire................

Where did that last one come from? The wedding set?

[belle]

is she looking for a set?

 

[belle]

here's one....
eta: sorry, didn't size this one! it's gignanamous!

 

[belle]

another...

 

[velouriaL]

Either, way, belle.

She''s freaked out by size and wants something small. I think, in the long run, she''ll be happier with a *little* weight on her fingers.

Anyone seen anything like the top on in this stack:

That''s how small she wants to go! Lucky guy, her boyfriend is!

wow, the last one could just be it??? I love that.

Maybe you could have her try clay-pot.com; I''ve seen some of the lines they carry at their store in Brooklyn- often understated, always beautiful & unique...I love many of the little bezel-set rings they carry
