Right hand ring ideas for a solitaire diamond

BagaholicAnon · Aug 18th, 2008, 06:11 PM

I'm divorced, mother of 2. I have a solitaire, princess cut, about 1.6 carats that I'd like to set in a ring for my right hand. I have an SO, though, and I don't want people thinking we're engaged (he has marriage-issues, so we may conceivably never get married). I really miss wearing a nice diamond though, and since I have one, I wanted to reset it (it's in a solitaire setting now) and wear it. Any ideas on mounts that won't look to e-ring-ish?

i think you should set it in a wide band and have diamond accents around it. i'm not sure how it would look with a big solitaire, maybe scratch that idea. LOL. I'm trying to think of how to make it not look like an e-ring but however way you slice it, i think it would end up looking like one because it's such a big soliatire. my only suggestion would be to wear it on your middle finger on the right hand...i think most people would first question if it's an e-ring, but by seeing that it's on your middle finger, it leaves room for doubt in their mind. the placement of the ring on which finger is usually a good indication of whether it is a e-ring or not imo.

Have u thought about resetting it as a necklace?

How about a swirl with the diamond in the middle?

^^ that actually sounds like a good idea! i could imagine it too. i think i'd look stunning like that.

Cutiepie21, I thought about doing it as a pendant, but I really want to wear a ring! I'm not much of a necklace person. Only on special occasions if I remember.

FlgirlFM, do you mean like a halo setting? I actually love those halo settings, but I was thinking it'd look too e-ring again.

Do you ladies think if I did a halo with colored gemstones instead of diamonds it'd look less e-ring like? There's a thread on colored halos and the samples in there are gorgeous! Not sure where to get one though......

there's another thread on this exact same topic.
Most of us recommended a fun halo setting w/ other gemstones, such as sapphires or something.

Another way to go is a pinky ring. Thst size stone set in a gypsy (shank with a slight
bit of a dome- but nothing high) Bezel set would be spectacular and you could wear it on your left hand with no confusion about being married.

go three stone!

aquablueness · Aug 18th, 2008, 09:04 PM

i like swanky's idea, the other colored gem stones makes it sound purrty!

BagaholicAnon · Aug 18th, 2008, 09:21 PM

Does anyone know of any websites that sell colored gemstone settings?

Suggest:

1) With a couple of other diamonds/bands so it's more like a wide and fancy RHR.

or this:

2) Agree with Swanky to mix other Gem Stones ala Jackie Kennedy.

Round Brilliant seems more common, but get a jeweller whose style you'll like and I'm sure you can work out something!

I think a halo setting, with or without colored stones, would look great as a right hand ring. I don't think it'd look too much like an engagement ring, especially since it's princess cut.
