Old e-ring disaster recycled into a blingy five stone

[LLJsmom]

@LLJsmom -

Do you still have this ring? Do you still wear it? It's lovely!

Thank you @mrs-b It’s definitely in rotation. I will go a few months and not touch it and then I will wear it as a RHR for a few weeks. I find diamond pieces easy to wear in the days of covid because they are so easy to clean. And since I’m working from home, I don’t worry about over-bling, (v being at the office). Lol!

I'm so glad! This ring deserves a lot of outings.

And I love your logic.

Oh this is just perfect. Congrats on a great outcome! I bet it feels amazing!

Love love your 5-stone ring. Your finger size is quite similar to mine (mine is a 4). So thanks for enabling, hahahaha .

@Phoenix are you planning something???

its beautiful and so sparkly
well done

Thank you @Daisys and Diamonds . I forget how sparkly MRBs can be.

Thank you @PreRaphaelite . It is actually very comfy. I put it on and forget about it. It tough enough to survive my right hand.

I may do eventually. I think I will get a tennis bracelet first - goal for 2022 (as 2021 is the year for VCA Alhambra magic pave earrings).

I do love how it looks on you!

Thank you @pearaffair. I feel a little funny posting pics of my old ring but here are some recent ones.

Oh thank you so much! It is utterly stunning. I am planning a 5-stone or 9-stone ring, so this is very helpful.

@pearaffair , while you may not need any more inspiration after this stunning example, I did want to let you know there is a whole thread devoted to five stone rings.

Thank you so much! I think I may have found it (ooo lala). Unfortunately I may have to wait for stores to open up so I can try on some 5-stone, 7-stone, and 9-stone options! I definitely want to get it right.

Hi @pearaffair sorry I meant to respond a lot earlier. I see you’re considering more than 5 stones. Those look like lovely settings and they let in more light than mine which are completely enclosed. I’m sure you’ve thought about it but the only thing I don’t love about more stones is that the adjacent fingers close down on side stones. But maybe it’s just a matter of getting accustomed to the feeling. Please let us know what you decide!

Well you totally read my mind! It’s why I think I probably have to try some things on in a jewellery store before committing. If it’s not comfortable, I would never wear it.

This might be a post-pandemic purchase lol

So this reset was done by Derco? It's gorgeous!! My first e-ring came from there. I have fond memories of visiting them and the Gift Center in general.

Yeah, years ago. Good solid B&M. Stodgy but if you stick to your guns, and don't get "sold", you can get a nice stone. Hope they survived this pandemic.
