Michael B. Lace wedding bands

The pin is on my "wishlist". You may want to watch ebay, I got a great deal on a Michael B sugar cube necklace, 1/2 of list. I love it so much. And the girl was only 15 minutes away and bought it from the same jeweler I buy my Michael B from. I'm posting a picture. Also picturing my earrings, the ones I posted from Pearlman aren't as nice. Mine have large and small acorns, the small acorns screw onto the back.

You will love love love your band. And you will be addicted. I'll have to check out the designer you mentioned too.

I adore your earrings!!!! Are they heavy being platinum?

Did you see my earlier question about the wisp band? Do you feel even though it is dainty, that it is sturdy. I am hard on my jewelry and would just die if I bent a 2,500.00 ring!!!!!!

I can see why the pin is on your wish list- it is stunning. I saw the lace brac. of his that is 30,000. That won't be happening!!!! But a girl can dream! It is too die for!!!!!!
 
Its funny the one necklace with the acorns feels heavy, but the earrings don't bother me. they are just so cool, the large acorn hangs in the front of the ear, the small acorn screws on the back and hangs behind the back of the ear but lower than the big one. Really different.

When you feel the wisp band you will say no way this will last, its so fine, you almost think you could bend it, but I've been wearing my rings for 8 years, non stop, they never come off except to clean and I have had NO issues. This from a girl who actually managed to put a tiny slice mark in a diamond, I am so tough on jewelry. So if its the look you want it will last. The way my crown ring sits these were the only bands that laid in a way that it seemed to extend the diamond edge of the band rather than cover it up and they go will so many other rings. They just slide under everything. You can see if you go back to my pictures how they slide under the ballerina ring. They also look good with my enameled Hildalgo band in blue, white gold and diamonds.

Maybe you can negotiate a discount with Pearlman's. I was able to do that with my earrings but it was some time back.

I do dream about that pin. Michael B always wears it on his brightly colored jackets and I'm a pin girl. I'd wear that baby everyday but the way the prices are going up I'm not sure I'd ever be able to afford it. Should have bought it all when I first saw it...wish I'd had the crystal ball then. His items always seemed really expensive.
 
ReRe you are the best! Thanks for all of your help. I definitely see a wisp or 2 in my future!!!!! I am even thinking about letting go of my 2 Tacori rings for a Michael B. engagement ring.
I will keep on checking on ebay. You never know what you might find!!!!
Pearlmans did give me a discount and I will work with them again in the future I am sure.
I hope you get you pin- it is just so beautiful!!!! I know prices are increasing- everyones are!!!! At least with MB, it sure does appear that you get your moneys worth.
I hear ya, wouldn't it be great if we all had a crystal ball!!!!!!
I looked at MB over a year ago, no doubt he has had price increases since then. I should have gone with him instead of my Tacori in the first place! Hind sight always is 20/20!!!!!!
Thanks again!!!!
 
Peppermintpatty - Have you gotten it yet? I just sent my band back to Michael B to re florentine the finish of my portrait crown band, it looks brand new, and it was no charge. I didn't notice how much shinier it had gotten until I saw a new one in the store.
 
PS I didn't buy the extra wisp, just thought I could buy something more substancial with that kind of money, plus I really do have enough of a grouping with the 4 rings
 
I haven't gotten it yet. Pearlmans said they would contact me as soon as they get it from Michael B. The waiting is killing me!!!!!!!
I think I am going to get a wisp if I am as in love with the lace as I think I am going to be.
I have been agonizing over what to do with my engagement ring. It is at Tacori right now. I lost a diamond out of the halo. Right now I am having my rings unsoldered. I am thinking of wearing my Tacori engagement ring, a wisp, and the lace wedding band. I have to see it together first and see if it will work.I really do love this engagement ring, but not too sure it will all mesh together...
 
Congrat.'s on having your ring reflorentined! I would love to see pictures!!!!!
I am soooo jealous that you get to go to Michael B. It is so hard trying to figure all of this out without seeing anything in person!
I love your grouping of the 4 rings just the way it is!!! It is perfect!
 
My dealer is actually Bernie Robbins they have several stores in the Philadelphia/So New Jersey area, gorgeous stores and Michael B comes every August for a trunk show. At that time they have tons of his items to try on and play with. I will post pictures of the ring refinished, it will be interesting to see if you will be able to see it in the pictures. Sorry yours is taking so long. Wish you were around the corner, you could try on my two wisps. They seem to match up great with all my rings. Would you put the one in the middle between the Tacori engagement ring and the Michael B lace ring? It would probably really be great to put a wisp on either end of the set, but its just so expensive....Let me know if Pearlman's quotes you a good price on the wisp, maybe I would order one from them, but its hard to imagine them doing more than 20%.
 
I think I saw Bernie Robbins when I was searching the net for Michael b. How lucky are you to get to play in all of that jewelry!!!!!!
I would put the wisp in between the er and wb. I just hope the wisp will fit under my er.
Oh how I wished I lived around the corner from you. I have no doubt we'd find some trouble together!!!!!
I'll let you know what price Pearlman's quotes me. I agree, i don't have much hope it will be more than 20%. Does BR give you any discount at all?
I can't wait to see the new pictures of your ring!!!!!
 
I'm certain the wisp will fit up against any ring, it has such a low profile it just kind of slides under and up against whatever I've tried it with. Bernie Robbins gives me a discount once in a while, but no rhyme or reason when. I have gotten it with some of the Michael B rings and almost expected they would offer me one with the wisp when I said it was way too much, but they didn't. It may have something to do with the trunk shows, its seems like they sell much more aggressively when Michael B is there, almost like they need to hit a certain quota. Maybe I'll wait until he is there and stand there and hem and haw... they don't do it openly where anyone can hear, but the more I think about it, it does seem to be that they are working harder at the sale. Doesn't anyone near you sell his stuff...where are you??
 
I'm in South Dakota! There is absolutely nothing here but my own and only Jewelry store- Gundersons. They carry Tacori and can get Michael B., but they are not an authorized dealer of Michael b. I think it is kind of weird that they can get Michael b, but not be authorized. That scared me too much in case I had any diamond falling out issues. I had heard of Pearlmans on pricescope, so I emailed them. I told them I had heard of them on pricescope and that I was told they would give me the best price. Arthurs in St. Paul MN carries Michael b., but that is a 4 hour drive one way. I had emailed Matthew with some questions and he told me if I made the drive to Arthurs to tell them that he had sent me there and that they would treat me right.
I really feel if you are a repeat customer, BR should at least give you 10%. If you really want a wisp, I'd email Pearlmans. It never hurts to ask. I have been working with Julian. I had gotten another price quote from Borsheims in Omaha for my ring ( where I got me diamond from) and asked Pearlmans to match it. They didn't go quite that low, but with in less than 100.00. I still went with Pearlmans because of the authorized dealer thing. I just figured at those prices, it pays to shop around a little YKWIM! They are alot of money and I want the best price with the best service I can get.
 
Peppermintpatty: I have added to my Michael B collection (not planned). I scored a great deal on ebay for Michael B flower post earrings, retail was $5500, got them for $1699. I should have them tomorrow. Here is a advertising pic of them, so excited because I can wear them everyday. Don't forget to post pics when you get your ring.
