What''s wrong with me, my taste in rings?

[BWise]

I wonder what is wrong with me recently? I have ordered three two-tone rings in a row. My style use to be semi-contemporary with clean lines, now ring have to involve a diamond halo.

This is the latest arrival for my madarin spess. Three years ago I would have called this combo ''hideous''. Now I am seriously considering wearing it

Seriously, please tell me what do you think, yay or nay? This is the biggest ring I''ve built so far.

yingh, I don''t think it is hideous at all. I think your ring is beautiful. The spess is gorgeous and glows like all get out.

 

[BWise]

Profile view - its not set yet so the stone sits high

 

[stepcutgirl]

That is so cool! I swear I felt like I was looking at a real fire when I stared at it! Awesome!

Since you asked, I probably would have done yellow gold (it's a bit difficult to tell, but it does look like white gold). It's still really lovely though. Beautiful rock, and there's nothing wrong with halos. I'm kind of addicted to them myself.

ETA: Now that I see it up close, I see it has a yellow gold head. Much nicer in the up close pics. I think it's beautiful

 

[chrono]

Absolutely no issues with it whatsoever, says another poster with a halo-ed spessartite of large proportions.

 

[BWise]

Last one. It''s blurry but is the closest to the true color of the spess.

Tell me, is it flashy? I guess I know the answer already.

 

[iluvcarats]

It is such a beautiful stone. I agree with the yellow gold comment. I would set it in a yellow gold bezel, or something yellow gold by Alex Sepkus.

 

[packrat]

That''s a gorgeous stone! Yow-it looks like lava! Actually, the 4th picture reminds me of the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Ring..I think it''s cool! And I think it looks great in the halo!

 

[T L]

I would probably do a higher carat yellow gold for a spess, but that ring is stunning. I'm ordering an 18K yellow gold ring for one of my cuprians from LOGR, so we'll see how it turns out. I think the higher warmer karat gold will look good with the cuprian, but we'll see. Your ring is really beautiful Yingh.

Question? Since you have so many gorgeous rings, how do you figure out what to wear each day? I would have to wear them all - LOL!!

 

[babysteps]

Are you kidding? YAY-YAY-YAY!!

I LOVE the setting with that stone, I think it looks stunning. As for the size, you know what they say -- "go big or go home!"

I plan on doing a big ring next - I think they are great.

 

[packrat]

Flashy, but not in a negative way! If I were walking down the street and saw you or MZ w/that stunning orange color..I would *have* to stop and say something!

 

[mochi]

WOW...very pretty and absolutely FLASHY! Is this a LOGR?

 

[BWise]

Everyone,thanks for all the encouragement and kind words! I think I will go ahead and have it set. The spess has stayed in the box for way too long (about 5 years!)

packrat, funny you mention it since I felt it looks like Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Ring too!



TL, to answer your question - I always wear my diamond ring on my left hand, and for my right hand I choose one of the color stone rings. I try to match my outfit, or my mood

I try not to wear more than two types of jewelries, so I will only wear earrings or my pendant, when I am wearing two rings already. Just try to stay low key.

I hope my boss never notices my jewelries, but apparently he does. So I hope he won''t remember my jewelries, especially during bonus allocation time

 

[BWise]

Mochi, yes it is from LOGR and he did a great job this time.

I got rid of my diamond because I don't like white stones, and I wanted more fingers to put colored ones on - LOL!! I know it sounds terrible.

Everyone knows I'm married anyways.

When I'm at a work meeting, I hide my fingers under the desk. I actually don't want people to notice too much, but the stones also look nice in the dark under the desk. I'm sure your spess would as well.

I couldn't show as much restraint as you with all those colored gemmies. I actually wear four every day (I know - gawdy, but I love it!!)

 

[MonkeyPie]

It''s flashy alright, and DELICIOUS! I just want to eat it. It''s so pretty!

 

[BWise]

TL, you are too funny! I do the same thing at meetings too! Hide my hands under the table and twist the ring around the finger to watch the light sparkle.

Imagine you and I in a meeting, both keep our hands under the table! LOL - that will be such a productive meeting!

[marcy]

I think it''s gorgeous and I think your taste just might have changed.

 

[CharmyPoo]

It''s gorgeous! I love it.

I never wear flashy rings to work.

 

[innerkitten]

Taste changes. Your new ring looks great! It's nice to see your spess set.

 

[CravingDiamonds]

I think that it is flashy, but it is beautiful and you should not be ashamed of it. I say if you like and that is what you want, then who cares what others think of you or the ring?

 

[movie zombie]

as most already know, i''m not a fan of halos, especially for stones that can hold their own....as your spess can and should. too busy for my taste.

[ma re]

No objections from me - on the contrary...

 

[chrono]

That''s what I do as well. The size and shocking colour of the spesaritite make me self conscious during meetings, so I keep my hands under the table. However, since it glows well under dim lighting, I have a fun time playing with it under the table as well.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

I love it! Especially loving the SIZE of it!!!!!!
