Re: Old european cut three stone ring by 23rd Street Jeweler

Thanks Rosetta, Grace (your vocab was great, btw ;)) ), Kcoursolle and Burk!

Dreamer, no, not this week. I was a good girl and made SURE to get all the pics up I could before traveling out of town to a sales meeting. I'm in cheese country!!! Surely though, I posted too many already! Maybe if people want, I can do more "real life perspective" ones, since I still can't get over the stinking coverage on this baby. I looked like a lame ass on the plane today, edging my hands closer to the window to get the sunshine to play on my fingers!!

It's funny...I look at my left hand which is my 30s set of bling...about to get married, simple, etc. My right hand is well on it's way to full on matronly later on in life blingadingding!

Seriously, 3 stones..who knew? ::)

OK. This is now one of my absolute fave rings on PS. The stones are magical, and god knows I love me a good octagonal setting let alone THREE of 'em....and the detail in the metalwork! TDF! Congratulations, TG, enjoy this one-of-a-kind work of art!!

Re: Old european cut three stone ring by 23rd Street Jeweler

thanks snicklefritz!

Just updating that after a week of wearing it, I'm not going to mess with the dots. I'm happy with it the way it is and it's quite grown on me and I appreciate how it emphasizes the octagons, which I don't think the other design would do (and if it looked more round, it would most likely bug me and I not willing to mess with the ring to take the chance).

The ring kept me company on a 4 hour flight. I kept staring and staring, and boy is it fun. ::)

Thanks again everyone! No more ebaying for me...now I'll leave the treasure hunting to others and live vicariously through them. :appl:

I'm glad you're not messing with it, Tgal!

Three stone rings sure are great, aren't they? Despite me still not liking my stupid prongs, I absolutely *love* the bling factor! And with your finger size being a full size smaller than mine, I am jealous! :lol:

I'm sorry about your prongs. :(( But the ring is beautiful, I love the proportions of your ring!

Yeah, I'm happy for a smaller sized finger...otherwise I'd mug Dreamer for her new 3 stone ring!

Thanks Kim, MB, mitsui and rosebloom!

I got a few shots of the ring next to my ACA J's (AGS 0), and thought I'd put them up in case anyone is interested to see MRB next to OEC..

HI:

I caught a few glimpses while away--and still need to read this whole thread; that said your pictures speak a 1,000 words! What a beauty!

Wear your treasure in health!

cheers--Sharon

Thanks MrsS and Sharon! Welcome back Sharon!

I took some silly pics for Dreamer's mouse thread this morning and took this RLP shot of my coffee mug and rings too. Ring is on the right hand, where I wear it.

I really like this stack a lot. It is blingmania. I tried my Dream band with my three stone and it looks -- scandelous! Too much bling. But I would really love to get something more shimmery, slightly smaller diamonds, milgrain, antiquey, like the ones you have, for my eventual reset. It is a nice look! If a little "Real Housewives..." for my neck of the woods!

Do you always wear your set on the right? Never on the left? How do you feel about RHRs now? I would like to wear RHRs but the reality is that I dont like them, I dont; like things on my right hand at all.

Post a pic of your scandal! :sun:

I love the stack a lot too - even more so because I bought the bands before I ever saw the final 3 stone. If I wear the thin band first, it's even blingier, because the thin band doesn't get sort of "lost" like it does now (pic below). But I think proportionally the way I have it usually looks nicer in the sense that the balance works better because the bottom ring is wider. In the pic below, the rings graduate in width/depth as it goes up the finger. Plus I bought the thin 18K WG diamond band as a spacer, with the main purpose being to keep the two platinum rings apart.

Yes, I always wear it on the right. My left hand always has my wedding band on. I never take it off, not to shower, cook, or whatever. I've worn RHR for ages, and always either had my beaudry ring or my Amelia ring on so I am used to it. This stack is a bit more full on, and I admit, after someone's else's thread, I definitely take them off if possible before going to the loo to avoid bum wiping catastrophes! :rodent:

Ha, I did think the other day that this look is a bit "Beverly Hills" (I don't watch TV, so I assume you mean the same with the real housewives comment.) It's not too unusual here to see a lot of stacked bling. While it does feel a bit much for me somedays, it's nice to live in a place where it really isn't too OTT. However when I was in Wisconsin last week, the stack got a fair bit of attention.

Luvvvvv that coffee pic. I might need a three stone now. But like DD I also try and try for RH love and I just can't get with it. I do sometimes but my general feel is I prefer LH.
