Hi, everyone!
I found three marvelous new rings that I loved this week at some of our local pawn shops (a great place to find some sparklies for a good price!). I'm going to get them re-sized and think I've finally got my decision down to where I want it to be, but I'd love some comments/advice! I also have a heirloom ring that I got from my mother that I'm going to work into this. I go through phases where sometimes I wear no rings (not even my engagement ring/wedding bands) and sometimes I wear everything all at once!
Anyways, here are my scores:
(1) A pear-cut emerald ring. It's lab created, which I'm totally fine with. I honestly usually prefer lab-created stones, as there's less chance of someone having done something awful to get it.
It's simply set, just flanked by three small diamonds on either side.
(2) An emerald-cut amethyst ring. Once again, I believe this one is lab created as well. It's also flanked by a few small diamonds on either side. This ring is yellow gold instead of white gold. Most of my jewelry is white gold, but I couldn't pass up the lustre of this beautiful purple stone!
(3) A phenomenal custom-work red jeweled ring. I'm not sure what's on it, but it looks like a decent oval-cut ruby in the center, flanked by diamond chips, a partial diamond halo setting, and two orange-ish (looks like sapphire) square stones on the outmost edges. Also yellow gold, but I had to have this one. I've never seen a setting like this before!
Also in my ring collection are: a princess cut moonstone ring made with oxidized silver wire, a 3-carat princess cut chocolate diamond in a simple prong setting with knotwork on the band, and my heirloom piece: a to-die-for princess cut emerald in a phenomenal art deco setting!
Attached are pictures of where I currently wear the rings I have (including my engagement ring/wedding bands), and the rings I'm going to get re-sized perched on the fingers I'm thinking of. Be prepared for a serious picture list...
I'd love some advice on what you ladies think of my finds, as well as where I'm thinking about getting them fitted to. I like it pretty well, but I'm always up for advice.
