Toi et Moi Pearl Rings

[newtojewels]

@yssie asked if I would consider a ring or bracelet instead of earrings for the blue 8mm Akoya pair I just bought from Moline. I'm compiling some twin pearl settings here but am hoping someone else has some ideas/inspiration saved! Please post any ideas for me if you run across them Thank you!

Here are the pearls!



My hands are big, index and middle are size 7.5+, ring finger is 6.5+. For reference, here are my only toi et moi (~23mm long) and my 12-12.5mm Tahitian pearl ring:




The settings I have found so far:

You've got lots of beauties there!!

One more to toss into the ring, I love Assael's bubble rings -
a modern take on pearls with so much opportunity to play with colour and size Imagine those pearls with lapis bubbles! And I'm very partial to their Encounter design too -

Nothing to add ring wise as the OP has some very nice inspiration ring designs!

If I were to opt for a bracelet/bangle, I would avoid a twisty open cuff one as the non-pearl ones I have seen do not line up properly after a few wears.

Therefore, I would prefer to make an open cuff bangle with a hinge at the bottom in a more solid construction, and not a thinner twisty design.

Hope that makes sense.

To add more bling, I would set each pearl in a diamond halo.

Oh, those are so fun!



I love the brooch but I bought a brooch a few months ago and have never worn it.....But I definitely wear rings!

I was looking at haloed earrings because we know the best way to emphasize color is to have some contrast, so throwing these blues into white halos would definitely do that!

And yes, I've seen the twisting too. It shows up even on product photos!

Many years ago, I had 2 PP rings made with freshadama so that I can wear them however I want, on 2 hands, together or even with a diamond band in between.
If I going to do a bangle, which I am considering now, I would have 2 pearls (same color/different sizes, or same size/different colors) next to each other on one side and scatter diamonds or channel of diamonds start from there to cover the top of the wrist. The oval bangle will have the opening (gap) on the inside of my wrist and as thick as the cartier love bangle I have… See if you would like that bold look.

So fun that you get the flexibility! Thank you for sharing!

I love the sound of your bangle, something about the two matchy-matchy pearls on opposite sides doesn't quite grab me but your idea sounds amazing.

To me personally, the mis-alignment is not a good look and would bug me big time!

The bracelet I was eyeing was the Chopard Happy Heart with MOP, which looks great on their website. However, when I tried it on in their store in London, the mis-alignment after just putting it on my wrist bugged me, so I opted for another piece instead.
