Here''s my Storm worthy asscher.....

[Kaleigh]

jellybean,
I totally agree if the halo is very thin, pink might work. The last thing I want is to take away from the beauty of this stone. Thanks, everyone is helping a lot. Keep them coming. Tomorrow is D day.

 

[Patty]

It''s a gorgeous stone, Lisa!

I don''t know if you should do the pink around it or not. Either way it''s going to be stunning!

 

[Kaleigh]

Thanks Patty

I am wavering a bit, but hopefully either way it will be great.

You are a classic gal- keep it classic- keep it with diamonds.

Just my .02

 

[Kaleigh]

Thanks Nan. I think you may be right!!!!!!

belle, you are always one step ahead of me sister. I was just going to ask everyone if the halo should be done in rose gold. Now I love that look, but is it too trendy??? What does everyone think???

how about pink gold? if you want a little less red color.

 

[Kaleigh]

I think rose gold is pink gold???? Experts please chime in here.

my avatar is 18k pink gold. the shade of red is between YG and RG.

 

[Kaleigh]

Ok then what are the elements of pink gold???? Is it just a mix of YG and RG or is there more to it than that. Like maybe adding some copper to the mix????

This might help you...... from the World Gold Council.

I have antique pieces in rose gold....you can tell the difference between rose and yellow gold when they are together....,but it can be very subtle...some of the modern rose/pink golds are very coppery looking......I don''t know what the difference is re: combinations of metals....the old rose golds (and the better rose golds today) have a softer look...(I guess I''m thinking of the pink gold jewelry sold on the shopping networks vs:fine 18K rose gold)....

 

[Maxine]

I don''t know if it will show up right, but here''s an 18K brushed white gold and shiny rose gold bracelet I got in Italy.....the rose goldexactly matches the color of an antique 18K band I have......you might not be able to see it, but you could tell if it were right next to YG.....

 

[Kaleigh]

Thanks Maxine, that helps a lot!!!!

 

[websailor]

How does the picture of the bracelet Maine posted answer the question "Ok then what are the elements of pink gold???? Is it just a mix of YG and RG or is there more to it than that. Like maybe adding some copper to the mix????"

What am I missing here????

 

[Kaleigh]

Maxine was being helpful and I was thanking her. Geez.

 

[websailor]

My apologies - I guess I didn''t word that so well!

 

[Kaleigh]

WS no prob at all, just didn''t get your question, that''s all.

And cflutist I appreciate the chart, that was very helpful for me and for others!!!!! Thanks.

 

[Kamuelamom]

Kaleigh, it''s beautiful! When you first said halo, rose gold was the first thing to come to mind. I think it would look splendid!

 

[Jennifer5973]

Well, I voted privately but I''ll come out of the closet now...I feel the classic, all-white accent stones will optimize for this awesome icy asscher.

 

[mrssalvo]

I vote to keep it all white too, but I agree it will still be stunning if you do the rose gold/pink diamonds thing.

 

[diamondlil]

Kaleigh,
Is all your jewelry white metal? Do you wear any 2-tone or tri-color? Just curious. Either way, I still vote pink/rose. But if it were for an e-ring, I''d vote white.

 

[Kaleigh]

I can''t go see the bench jeweler as he is swamped today, but will have time to meet with me tomorrow. I think I am going to keep it all white. I will ask the cost of the pink halo, but feel it may take away from the stone. Thanks everyone for all your help, it''s a tough decision, UGHHHH!!!!

 

[coconut]

Ummm... YAY (?)

I was hoping you''d keep it all white...

Just in my opinion..... some cuts seem to look better kept all white than others..

 

[Kaleigh]

Thanks coconut. The pink would''ve been fun but in the long run it really isn''t me. Now if the bench jeweler would get some free time I could get the ball rolling.

 

[moremoremore]

white white white. I also think sometimes that colored stones make a piece look fake...people don''t assume that the colored stones are valuable (we know better) so they would assume the center stone is a fakey....maybe?

 

[widget]

Well, I must now admit I''d prefer white melee in a halo for your asscher.

Of course if you''d been considering flanking that puppy with a couple of sapphires or rubies, I might have sung a different tune! Hey...why not consider some colored sides on the shoulders, outside of the halo??? (I SO much enjoy trying to help others spend money...

)

I do hope you ask the jeweler what the cost of pink melee is...I''m really curious..

This is SO MUCH FUN!! Thanks for letting us in on it!

PS: Sorry to whoever''s rings I messed with...Valeria I aint!

 

[Rockchick]

yessss

I vote white too (a little late I know). That is so classy.

 

[Kaleigh]

Oh widget you devil you!!!!

I am asking him tomorrow about the cost of pink diamond mele as I know people are interested. I am still open to ideas and am looking forward to tomorrow.

Waaaaaaaah!!!

I know it is tough. You MUST follow YOUR heart . . . . even if it''s not what *I* thinks is best -- just kidding.

I would like to know what the price difference would be just out of curiosity. Do you have an appointment set up for tomorrow? Can''t wait to hear . . . .
