What do ribbon prongs look like? I don''t know ribbon prongs.

Like this. Hope it comes out big enough, it looked too small after I saved it....

 

[Skippy123]

lol, we both found ribbon prongs

 

[Ellen]

Dang Skip, yer fast!

belle, no, sorry. It would be plain too. No diamonds, just the EC.

Now, take the picture Skippy posted and visualize the area where the halo is as WG, polished, with ribbon prongs.

What do you think??

keeping the diamond bale?

What is bale? Gosh, I am learning lots today

lol That''s the V part that connects the halo/diamond portion to the chain.

 

[Skippy123]

OH, Oh, I get it; thanks.

Ellen, I am the 20th! Our pick of birthstones includes blue zircon, aquarmarine, blue topaz, tanzanite and turqouise. Not sure if I am missing anything. Skippy, when is your bday? Ellen, being that close to the holidays stinks.

 

[Skippy123]

the 16th. I know, I wish we had one stone but at least it is blue; that is my favorite color.

That's weird, every one I look at shows Aquamarine as March.

Oh well.


And you know, as a kid, I didn't mind my birthday. My mom went out of her way to make my birthday seem like it could have been in any month, so that time of year seemed so magical and fun with so much going on.

But now, not so much. Hubby doesn't do as well as my mother, for the obvious reasons.

okay, i have been trying to get a good rendition of a plain settng but....well.....i suck at photoshop, so i got nuthin''.
i''m not saying this because i can''t photoshop (really) but i think the diamonds add just the little bit of pizazz to make it special. are you sure you don''t want some diamonds in thar?

 

[diamondfan]

I think aqua might be wrong, but the other three are correct, and lapiz too. A jeweler told me aqua was one (trying to sell me something?)...but we have a lot of choices!

I agree w/Miss. Belle. I think it would look lovely on you in jeans. Honest!

Well, that''s the thing, he may not have been, as it USED to BE Dec''s. and it was the ONLY one. Somewhere along the way, somebody decided to change things. I have no idea why.

Ok, you sparkle fiends

I guess no one (except surfgirl) likes my understated design.... I''m still stuck on it, but you can give it your best shot.

WHAR exactly would you put them, and what size, shape, etc.?

What happened to the baguettes?

I scrapped them, as I just wanted a really plain pendant.



I''ll take it by no suggestions that all those in favor of "more" diamonds just wanted the halo then?

 

[Ellen]

Thanks for all the input! It really helped to hear what everyone thought, it did help me figure out what''s best for me.

Just need to find someone to make it now.

Aw, thanks Skippers.

I really just want something simple, that has pretty much always been my taste preference. That is me.

lol @ "my collection". You make it sound like I have a bunch of stuff.

I wish....

You have that beautiful ring from your mom. Also, your aqua, your earrings, that EC and I am sure you have a few more up your sleeve.

Or just leave it a ring & build up something around it for $200 to $400 @ a local pawn shop

 

[justjulia]

Sorry, chiming in late. I say keep it simple. Simple simple simple. SIMPLE. Hang it vertically in a pendant. No bags.

Ah, a girl after my own heart. I agree.

Ada, thanks for the suggestion, but I really like very simple. And it''s definitely going to be a pendant.

Oh my lord, that thing is just scary... I feel bad for the poor innocent asscher being eaten alive by all those nasty other diamonds. The baguettes *want* to help the asscher but they are simply overpowered at this point.

 

[Ellen]

Dee, does anyone in particular pop in your head for making this? or should I just get quotes from a few and go with cheapest?

Cuz it''s not gonna be hard to make....

 

[Dee*Jay]

I would poll the usual suspects and go with the one that is most reasonable in terms of cost and turn around time. If anybody promises you the pendant for $5 and done in a day though I would run!

oooooh, I am interested in this project, and who you pick to set it. I just bought a stone and I am facing the same dilemma.
