Well...with my "Alexander terrible, horrible, no good, very bad" drawing skills, I tried to draw kind of what I have in mind and wonder what everyone thinks about this idea. Is it doable?
The center stone is oval but it would have an octogon halo all around it filled with thin baguette sticks instead of brilliant rounds. Maybe interspersed with a few brilliant rounds here and there.
More tapered baguettes on the shoulder and a cinch in mid shank. (Did I mention I love baguettes?).
(Note the difference from the Di/Kate ring top to the right. I want to avoid that look).
The center stone would be the 2.52 blue sapphire I posted above (9.2 x 7.2) so I am not sure how large it would face. But that's kind of what I have in mind.
Blue stone in a hall of mirrors.
The sharper octogon lines in baguettes should bring a bit of modern/sleek touch to a ring that could otherwise come across as a bit too traditional, frilly or common.
I am open to any warnings, criticisms or suggestions for additions.
I also need some opinions about gold vs. platinum. I like white gold but have heard that "serious" jewelers are reluctant to use it. They prefer either yellow or platinum. I did not even know that until I visited Leon Mege's site and another one similar.
Since I love my rings to feel very hefty - I would love platinum, especially now when the price is pretty much the same as gold.
I will just have to check with my jeweler to see if he works in platinum too.
Thank you all so much for your help!
