Poll, kind of.. IF you had Paris Hiltons budget what would YOU Choose?

[treysar]

Besides what you already have and love…

If you had a Hilton like budget and could pick WHATEVER YOU WANTED – I mean ANY size, shape, color, etc, what would you choose?

Feel free to choose more than one,, after all, we are dreaming here…

WE want details people – the more, the better. Include pics if ya want to!

Here’s my first thought:

A 3-4 carat D, IF ideally deally deally cut round brilliant in a strong, simple solitaire setting.

OR

A 3-4 carat D, IF ideally deally deally cut Oval with ruby halfmoon sides

OR
A 7 carat Marquis set east west in a pave halo setting – mmmmmmmm.

 

[reena]

a

f*ing

GIANT

cushion cut diamond

in a subdued pave setting

IMO, it''s one of the few cuts that you can get in an enormous size without it looking absolutely ridiculously fake/ostentatious

but of course, i''m quite partial to the cushion.

 

[Morticia]

I would get a BIG FAT Royal Asscher with traps on the side!

Ahhhhhhhh... A girl can dream.

 

[canuk-gal]

HI:

5 carat, emerald cut, natural fancy yellow, VVS1 diamond, set in a simple platinum setting.

cheers--Sharon

 

[velouriaL]

I would get a ginorous (like, 4 or 5 carats?) emerald-- emerald-the-gem, not emerald-the-cut... actually, it probably would be emerald cut-- in the finest green color with only a few prettily scattered inclusions and nice silky glow...

In an extremely intricate but ultimate subtle-looking setting.. probably something Leon-ish, with tons of little details, like a diamonds and engraving on the under-carriage and other hidden secrets...

Oh yeah, and probably throw in some colored-diamonds, some conbination of pinks, blues, canaries, but somehow artfully arranged so it doesn''t look tacky. I''m not sure that can be done, but I''m not actually brainstorming for my next purchase, so who cares?

 

[Kaleigh]

A royal asscher for me in a Leon Mege setting!!!! Yummmmm!!! 4-5 carats, D IF.

 

[curlygirl]

Once again, I''m in agreement with Reena. A really fat, delicious cushion in a simple pave setting.

 

[IrishEyes]

I know exactly what I would get! A 4 carat D or E colored, VVS1 or 2 Asscher cut diamond in a pave, split-shank setting, kinda like the emerald cut ring on the Cartier website!! I would surround it with two thin bands (about 2mm, one on each side of the e-ring) of eternity rings with melee in a shared-prong setting (these would be the weddding bands)!!

Of course, this is only in my dreams!

 

[jorman]

Oooh! I agree with Kaleigh. A FAT asscher in a Leon Mege setting...
Mmmmmmmmmm....

 

[FireGoddess]

I''d get the biggest honkin pink diamond pear that I could afford, set exactly like this:

 

[Kaleigh]

FireGodess, that is too die for!!! I was just going to say my second choice would be a pink diamond!!!!

 

[IrishEyes]

Oh firegoddess, that ring is to DIE FOR!!!

 

[jaysonsmom]

I''d get Kaleigh''s set Alright, maybe I''d have a slightly bigger centerstone, but nothing over 4 carats....it''s justified because my finger 5 1/2 size is slightly bigger than her size 5!

For my right hand ring, I''d get a really low set cushion in pave split-prongs, around 2 carats so that it doesn''t overwhelm my wedding set.

 

[mrssalvo]

i'll have one of these

and a pair of earrings to go with it

 

[diamondlil]

FG, you and I think so much alike!

I want a ginormous pink diamond flanked by D color blinding whites.

Kaleigh, IrishEyes, Diamondlil....girls it''s true!!!...there is nothing sweeter than a big ole pink diamond next to some searing white ones. YUMMY!!!

Kaleigh, I''d also take your ring, on steroids or not!

 

[KittenKat]

A 3 to 3.5ct, Fancy Blue Asscher!

 

[LadyluvsLuxury]

I would want a VVS1 D colored 5 carat princess cut in a split shank pave setting with pink diamonds...mmmmmmmmmm

 

[IrishEyes]

oh ladysluv, that sounds DELICIOUS!!!

 

[widget]

This is my favorite game!

I too would prefer a fancy pink or blue asscher (preferrably vivid, but I guess I''d settle for intense..

)...

I did find a couple of baubles while searching Sotheby''s sold lots that I could live with:

 

[widget]

.....and of course I''d need matching earrings!!!

(What is Paris'' budget, anyway? These may very well be over her budget. The blue and pink earrings alone were valued at up to 7.8 million Hong Kong Dollars....which sounds like a tidy sum.....)

[moremoremore]

4 ct modern cushion! (or as Reena said, a F'ING GIANT CUSHION LOL) D, E or F. and any SPOTLESS clarity!

and a 4ct carat asscher! D, E or F

But maybe "only" 3 carats depending on how comfie I'd be with a 4. OK, definitely 4 cts

[widget]

Speaking of fancy asschers....

 

[KittenKat]

OOOOOH widget - those are DIVINE! I''d take those too. No arm twisting needed

 

[canuk-gal]

HI:

Thanks Widget for posting those yellows--"that''s what I am taking about"! (aka George''s Seinfeld Dad)

cheers--Sharon

 

[MissAva]

I would get a massive RB Ideal Cut D/ IF and have it set it a band of blue diamonds(all IF or course) , and a blue diamond halo with matching blue diaomond eternity band. The halo would be similiar to the one on my birthstone ring from Tiffanys and the bands would sit fluch with each other, and I would get myself a copy of Firegodess rings as a pendent....it makes me drool. And I would politely request some 3ct each blue diamond studs, with a jackets os smaller white diamonds as a cute compliment to my ring....
