The 5 Stone Ring Thread!

sherpagirl » 06 Dec 2011 01:20
First, I want to thank so many of you who offered advice, suggestions, guidance, encouragement and wisdom in helping my fiancee and I (just engaged!) find the perfect ring that will serve as both my e-ring and band. (original post: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/a-bit-of-a-non-traditional-approach-to-e-ring-wedding-ring.165252/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/a-bit-of-a-non-traditional-approach-to-e-ring-wedding-ring.165252/[/URL])

After seeing all the beautiful 5 stone bands on PS, I knew this is what I wanted. With all the wonderful research I found here, followed by the extremely helpful conversations I had with both GOG and BGD (deciding between AVRs and H&A is SO tough!), and then all of your knowledge and insights, we finally decided on a 5 stone u-prong band from BGD.

So here are a few shots of my ring which arrived late last week, and officially on my hand as of this past weekend. Specs are platinum band / 1.5cttw (.30s each) / H / SI1. All BGD Signature Stones, and Jamie was great to work with. Thanks again to all of you who provided "the voice of reason" to all my questions! LOL! I adore my ring.

I knew when the Pre-loved PS Jewel section began I would really have to restrain myself. I passed on Gypsy's 5 stone Aurora band but when ZestfullyBling put her BGD 5 stone U prong up, I caved very quickly.

Stats: 2.14 ctw of gorgeous BLING as follows; .411 G SI1, .433 G VS1, .444 G VS2, .431 G VS2, .423 G VS2 all AGS 000 set in 18kt yellow gold shank with platinum heads. Size 6.75.

I think I got an extraordinarily great deal with this purchase and ZestfullyBling was such a pleasure to work with. An all around smooth transaction. She sent the ring and the stone certs to BGD for inspection, sizing, and cleaning/polishing. They shipped overnight to me.

And here are some quick photos. Of course you will get more, these are indoors. I LOVE IT

This will be my wife's surprise gift for our 25th. The platinum ring is by Leon Mege and the diamonds were selected by Perry Chen. Center is 2.07ct Asscher J color VS2 clarity. Matching sides are J color VS1-VS2 trapezoids and tapered bullets. Total diamond weight is 2.7ct. I'm no photographer, so I hope these are acceptable - although they don't do the ring justice. It is exquisite! Please see my story in the testimonial forum. Thanks for looking.

I am so excited to share my new addition! It just came yesterday and was able to take a few shots this morning before heading out to work. I am going to wear this as a RHR and bought it for myself to celebrate the decision to go back to work full-time after working part-time for the past 17 years in order to raise my two kids (they are still in high school but require less time from me right now...) I never though I'd buy a 5-stone ring for myself and have simply enjoyed seeing everyone else's on PS, but when this AVR came out, it pushed me over the edge.

So here it is: AVR 5-stone band from Good Old Gold. Size 5 1/2. 1.33 tcw. The setting is platinum and custom made by Vatche--it is beautiful. Having never seen an August Vintage cut stone in person, these stones blow me away. The light return and beautiful faceting...I am beyond happy! This satisfies my yearning for a solitaire OEC for a while (still would like one one day but haven't found the right one yet).

I just realised I had a folder full of photos I can share with this forum! This is not my engagement ring - it belongs to my soon-to-be sister in law. Shopping for this ring with my younger brother was one of the most special and touching experiences of my life. He surprised her on her birthday and she said yes! We're so lucky to have her in our family.

On the funny side, we quickly adjusted our greeting to 'hi we're brother and sister' when in the jewelry store after a couple of staff assumed wrong. I personally love this ring - I took an interest in jewelry after being a hand model during the ring shopping. My brother made the perfect choice, it's a classic design, great quality, practical and totally suits his wife to be.

Details:
18k yellow gold with white gold prongs, 3 Emerald cut diamonds .38, 2 round diamonds .11. Diamonds total of 0.49. Stated as HI color and VS2 clarity.
The ring is a size 6.5

My bad - I have enjoyed both items for a while, and finally got chance to share them here with you.

I had 3 small loose diamonds which I got 4-5 years ago. I was seeking ideas how to utilize them earlier last year at this forum.
I fell in love with Fancydiamond's Pear halo pendant and 5-stone ring in trellis setting you ladies own.

I don't budget to buy another pear stone. So I had idea to use one of my small loose stone G VS2 0.65cw as a dangling inside the pear halo.
Other two loose stones: G SI2 0.48cw, G SI1 0.42, togetehr with 3 more ACA( G VS2 0.405, F VS2 0.404, F SI1 0.410) would make my 5-stone ring ( total 2.12ctw).

Both items turned out to be very beautiful -- the WF team did it again. The great customer service supported me through the whole making process.

I wear my 5-stone ring daily and enjoy it so much. The only problem it creates to me now is that it makes me feel my eRing is too small.
I need an upgrade!!!

Let me show you my five stone ring first, and thanks for letting me share.

It's been quite the ring rollercoaster this year! I ordered an 11 stone (7 pointers) shared prong ring from ID Jewelry last summer. I got it, the diamonds were sparkly, it fit great, I loved it. But 2 months later, 2 stones were already loose. I sent it back and they tightened it at no charge. I got it back, wore it for 2 months and the same stones came loose again...

I looked at options with Tami and I finally decided to upgrade. I discovered that I could set my stones with 4 prongs instead of shared prong, so I upgraded to a 5 stone with 15 pointers, excellent cut, F-G color, SI clarity.

I received the ring last month and the diamonds are super sparkly and very white. The carat weight is a substantial look on my 3.75 size finger.

I don't know when this thread was started so I am not sure if my e-ring ever made it in but since I will be posting my new BGD 5 stone I figured I might as well add my e-ring too! (last picture)

BGD Nightingale in Rose Gold and Platinum 2 carats total

It finally finally came! Thanks to those who helped me decide on this, it's absolutely perfect. It is 1.25ct of ACA diamonds set in platinum, F/G VS. Sorry for the not-so-great pictures, I took them with my phone as I had to take the ring off until I get married on Wednesday. Also, disregard the gross nails if possible, ugh.

http://www.whiteflash.com/wedding-bands/five-stone-shared-prong-diamond-wedding-band-820.htm
I was worried that 1.25ct would not be large enough for my size 6.75 finger, but I think it looks good. Any thoughts? I'll be wearing it alone.

Special thanks to everybody at Whiteflash, this was my first experience buying jewelery online and it was a very smooth process and I can't wait to buy from them again in the future.

I have been wanting a 5-stone ring for my right hand and thought to get it next year for my 35th wedding anniversary. After I had been through two eye surgeries in the past year my husband decided to surprise me with one for our 34th anniversary last month. He bought from Blue Nile because of their easy return policy and the ring is just stunning in real life. It has 2.07 carats of their Signature Ideal diamonds set in platinum. The stones are E and F color and VVS2 clarity. The setting is solid and well made. The diamonds are every bit as sparkly and beautiful as my Hearts on Fire and Whiteflash ACA stones.
