I have a 2ct round diamond and would like to make it into a right hand ring, but I need ideas. I am already engaged and have my own 2ct round ring, so I need this to look different. not like an engagement ring. ideas please? thanks everyone!

I'd probably add some color to it, like blue or pink sapphires, or add a halo to it.

jc2239 · Jul 28th, 2008, 11:34 AM

^^ i definitely agree with swanky about maybe adding some color, since it sounds like you already have a gorgeous engagement ring!

just adding a pop of color to the sides or a colored micropave halo around with a colored micropave band would probably be gorgeous, although still pretty engagement ring-ish.

or if you want to go for something really different you could go for something like this:

I agree 100% with the others... add your favorite colored stone to it... maybe one on each side and even maybe some small diamonds going down the sides of the ring.

Have you considered a pendant! Solitaire diamond pendants are so beautiful!

Swanky Mama Of Three · Jul 28th, 2008, 01:01 PM

I agree, I'd like a 2 crt pear solitaire pendant personally

I figured she only wanted ring suggestions though

jc2239 · Jul 28th, 2008, 01:07 PM

^^ i was thinking the same thing

a 2 ct solitaire necklace to go with her engagement ring would be stunning!

LaurieLou · Jul 28th, 2008, 01:36 PM

I'd like to keep it as a ring. Because I have a solitaire pendant and it's a pretty large stone and I think it will be more secure as a ring. I like the idea of setting it with pink sapphires. Anyone have any pics of something like this?

jan228 · Jul 28th, 2008, 01:36 PM

I think with most ring settings, a 2 ct round diamond will always look like an engagement ring. I like the necklace idea better... wearing two 2 ct round diamond rings on both hands is a little weird.

LaurieLou · Jul 28th, 2008, 01:42 PM

I agree that wearing two diamonds is weird. I don't know what to do! Maybe I can alternate between the two rings.

LvnMyLVs · Jul 28th, 2008, 02:48 PM

Pink Saffires and diamonds look really pretty together... I have one in white gold, but the pink saffire is an emerald cut, not round. I still say it would look gorgeous... just add some color to it!

Swanky Mama Of Three · Jul 28th, 2008, 04:24 PM

it won't look "weird" but you may as well really do it up and make it a fabulous cocktail ring!

elizat · Jul 28th, 2008, 07:56 PM

Wow, lucky woman! If you really want it as a ring, I'd look at faycullen.com for ideas. They have a lot of cocktail/antique/deco styles that use colored stones. Maybe that will give you some inspiration, esp. w/ a stone that size? Some are even just simpler halo designs.

baby&melovelv · Jul 28th, 2008, 09:27 PM

^^ ha ha! so funny- i was just on fay cullen looking for a ring i have to suggest to the op! i have this ring- mine is the one with sapphires, but the stones are larger (but not as large as the other ring). i wear it on my hand and i also have a pendant... just a thought! lucky you to make such a nice choice! good luck!

baby&melovelv · Jul 28th, 2008, 09:28 PM

^ i obviously wear it on my hand- i meant to say 'my right hand'.
