LynzeeLeigh, I have two stories.
#1. My mother wanted a pearl ering, so my dad looked into it, talked to several jewelers, as well as women in his family, and was advised against it. He bought her a beautiful diamond ring and promised to get her a pearl ring later, which he did for their first Christmas, then a matching band for their first anniversary the next month. It became her 'dress up' ring set. Good idea on dad's part. She never took her rings off. After I inherited her rings, I found that she'd managed to put a nice chip in her diamond. Can you imagine what she might have done to a pearl?
#2. I used to work with a lovely woman who had a pearl ering. A very pretty setting, but the pearl was a dud. I mean, it was so dull, I didn't know what stone it was, it had no sheen at all, looked like a little white marble. Like my mom, she wore her ring all the time, never took it off, despite being a mother of two teenagers and a preschool teacher, whose hands are constantly in water, playdough, paint...I wish she'd worn just her wide gold band, and saved that beauty for special days.
I love your design idea, and think it would be a great idea for a right hand ring, or like my mom, maybe an anniversary ring, that you can add to your set for 'dress up' occasions.
