This is what I need to get edge to edge coverage - 24mm just saying...

Solitaires are beautiful.

But if you're looking for a more economical option, what about a lovely three-stone ring.

According to this chart I just came across, you might like the coverage provided by a three-stone ring with a 5-carat center and a 1.5-carat on each side.

Christmas is coming. Are you a winter baby? You know Christmas-Birthday combined gift? And the suggested three-stone using a 5-ct and two 1.5 ct sides would be quite reasonably-priced. Compared to a solitaire at 24 mm.

 

[december-fire]

Pinto,

Just read that a dime is about the size of a 20-carat diamond, and a Canadian dime is about 20 mm across.

Put a dime on your finger and see how the width looks! If its too small, you could get a 20-ct stone and halo it or go for a 25-ct stone.

Remember to post photos of the finished ring!!!

Oh, and if you find a 20-ct diamond you love, remember to reserve it before posting the photos here. You don't want someone to snatch up that baby

 

[PintoBean]

Oh man, if I wasn't married to Mr. bean, I'd marry you right now December-fire. Bahahahahahhha

 

[december-fire]

I'm not giving you a 20-carat diamond, Pinto!!!

This was a 'proposed' idea. Not a 'proposal'!

Call me sexist, but I discriminate against women when it comes to a mate. I'm sticking with the manly man I have in my life.

Now, go tell your DH how wonderful he is for supporting you in acquiring your gorgeous diamonds, and say 'hi' to your incredible pollo unicorn for me.

 

[PintoBean]

December-fire, I'm gonna make like dragonfly and insert marshmallow in mouth!

As for DH...
I'm going to just tell my DH that unlike the cats, the diamonds didn't come spayed/neutered. Somehow...Miami onion roll had some baguettes in the oven!

 

[december-fire]

Pinto, those are beautiful!

Wait! My brain cells just started to function!

By any chance, do those five beautiful diamonds line up to create a dazzling path that extends for 24 mm?!?!

 

[PintoBean]

Crap they are 3x5 each I believe and I'm going wow 5x5=25, when I'd be setting them such that it'd be 3x5=15 across my finger frack! I just moisturized my hands but I'm going to get a ruler and measure the round stones in my 5 stone!!!!

...
I'm panicking a smidge bc my 5 stone MRB seems to be 20mm edge to edge set, while each stone looks closer to 4mm? Show me the salad!

 

[PintoBean]

Funny how I can use this thread as an IDJ wiki - found this within the first couple of pages! yeah it looks like I need 7 stones. Will need to talk to Y tomorrow

PB, those 5 ECs are absolutely DELISH! Are you making another ring?! Do you remember what size the ECs are in eternity band you have on in the photo? I really love the size!

No I dont remember what those were, but comparing to this pic of 25, 30, and 40 pointers (below), I think that they are 30-ish...

Big and beautiful calorie-less baguettes - 40 pointers!

Tall and proud!! North-South!

Final answer - 7 stone, 40 pointers, G color because I'm afraid of the F's contrasting too much next to my K if I wanted to stack together on one finger. Now we have to decide U prong or airline...
And btw... POLLO unicorn is PREGNANT too!!! Ultrasound shows a litter of 20-10 pointer melee chicks (pollitos) !!!
Looking into diamond spay/neuter programs...

[december-fire]

Oh my goodness, Pinto!

I love your new ring and earrings!

Do you have them yet?

People will need to wear sunglasses if you put on all your glorious diamond jewelry at the same time!

We need photos! Hundreds of photos!!!

 

[PintoBean]

Mama saw my bread basket and wants one now. Since she's a 6.25, I tried to see if I could get away with a 5 stone (sneaky sneaky), and Yekutiel laughed his butt off at me. He was like, you can't do that - has to be at least 7 stone if you have 7 stones, maybe 8!

Down payment made. Le sigh...Are there any more mamas I have that I don't know about that I need to buy bread baskets for?!?! Speak up or forever hold your peace, b/c I'm thinking we could do bulk discount if we have a bunch of mamas BAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAA!

 

[december-fire]

Baby, I've been wondering how to break the news to you!

Size 6.

 

[PintoBean]

Doesn't this look supe-a-dupe-a fly on mama's hand??!!

 

[december-fire]

Pinto,

I just saw your Mother's incredible band in Show Me the Bling. Wow!

I love the timeless elegance of this ring you've had created for your Mother and everything you've gotten for yourself.

Do you find you tend to wear certain pieces more often than others?

I haven't worn pollo yet, but I think she's too big and bold for me to handle on the day to day lololol! I actually feel more confident rocking the 4 carat EC + spacer + EC 7-stone because of the more "quiet" nature of the ECs.

I also like the hoops a LOT! i know people rock bigger hoops than these, but for me, they make me feel like "Pinto Bean from the block".

 

[PintoBean]

@Queenie60
I heard you got a preview of my new DBTY!

 

[Queenie60]

Yes I did! I promised not to tell! He's making one up for me as well - smaller stones. He wanted to show the spacing. I love the adjustable chain. Can't wait to see neck shots PB. You have the best collection.

 

[redwood66]

Love it PB and congrats Queenie!

 

[MaisOuiMadame]

Just have to say how much I LOVE THIS THREAD!!

 

[PintoBean]

I got a neck shot of my dbty today. I have them holding the necklace until my two pairs of cabs are set. It also made the IDJ Instagram story today!
7x25 pointers!
