I alternately wear a classic Cartier Trinity tri-gold ring with a T&Co Lucida Platinum Eternity band. I Want to add another classic piece. Which would you choose?

Gold 6 row X band or the platinum and diamond X eternity band?IMG_3993.jpgIMG_3994.JPG

Can't wait to hear your opinions Pricescope family!
 
Biased over here bc I have it but I vote the platinum and diamond X eternity band ;)2 I absolutely love mine and prefer it over your other options bc it has bling and is still a statement in its own way. The other is also a bit too wide for me so it's not as comfortable.
 
Another vote for the diamond version. It's a classic!
 
I like the look of both rings but the diamonds version puts me in a trance...its calling my name...:kiss2:
 
IMO that X look will become very dated.
I can't bring myself to believe the marketing weenies by seeing any fad as 'classic'.

... same with those screw heads in rings and bracelets, and the 1.2mm bands with melee on 3 sides.

If you like the designs with large Xs, or jewelry with screw heads, by all means buy it, love it, and enjoy it.
Nothing wrong with what's popular today.

But IMO if you want classic design, keep shopping.
By definition a new classic is a bit of an oxymoron.

When I think classic, I think:

Huge fan of the 16 stone ring (that is what it is called). It is alittle bulky for small fingers, so try it on. It's been popular for a very long time.

And, as for "the screw heads" aka "love bracelet", I believe it was introduced in the '70's.
 
I’m for the diamond one and I think it will always be a “classic Tiffany” style but do try it on. It looks quite a thick ring, I personally don’t like wearing rings that stick out and into my other fingers.

I do have my 'classic' Lucida solitaire which I absolutely love (see profile pic). Now I'm just having fun...

Thanks! I'll certainly try it on. I do have larger fingers and 'chunky' rings are my thing!

I'm curious then...aside from solitaires...what would be considered a classic cocktail or 'fun' ring in your opinion? I'm all about classics with lasting power. I've learned from my youth not to give into expensive fads!

The Tiffany solitaire is probably the best example but after that...:rolleyes2:

To me it’s about design that stands the test of time - beautiful no matter what the current fad is. For example:

Cartier Trinity and Love collections
VCA Alhambra collection
DY cable collection
Etc...

Pieces that can be worn by 20 yr olds and 60 yr olds - timeless.
 
I've had a crush on the diamond version forever.
 
Definitely the diamond one. I consider it a Tifffany classic. And I am definitely into timeless pieces!

This wasn’t directed to me, but one classic would be a colored stone center with side diamonds, or a colored stone center with a halo setting. Or if you want all diamonds, a three stone or five stone ring would be a classic, timeless piece.

Ah yes!
So, the Cartier trinity and love collections are considered timeless eh? Good to know that I can still covet them! :mrgreen2::mrgreen2:

My goal is to get 1 VCA alhambra necklace in white gold with diamonds to wear forever = something I never take off.
And perhaps a nice Cartier love bracelet with diamonds to wear forever!
I spoke to folks at Tiffany's and they seem to think that the victoria collection is quite 'classic'. I wonder if folks on here agree.
I'm looking for something that isn't replicated well by independent jewelers and/or is distinctive to the brand. That's why I loved the schlumberger collection from Tiffany's. It's definitely different!

Oooh! I'm glad I'm doing things right by focusing my attention on a 5 stone ring!
I'm happy to spend time on here because I get better ideas about what to purchase for the future and what to aim for!

So, would a classic be something ala Princess Diana's e-ring style? Sapphire with diamonds around?
Feel free to post some eye candy pics.

Well said! This is what I was trying to express. :sun:
 
The diamond band is ok, the other one is meh. Are you going to wear it in place of your other bands as opposed to with them? I hope so, because to me, that ring is a standalone piece for either right hand or left. I'd probably like it most on the right hand middle finger, but it's way too chunky for me. Maybe it's thinner in person.

I've found that just because a piece has been deemed a classic I don't have to love it. David Yurman for example. But I wear my 4 diamond Love bracelet 24/7,

Yep!
Agreed. I found that the schlumberger piece was waaaay too chunky to wear with anything else. I'll include a pic of me trying on the schlumberger for fun!
As you can see, it just doesn't mesh with another ring.
I agree with your classic comment. I just like to know if there are expensive pieces that have lasting power beyond the 'now'. I also have started to become weary of DY. I'm finding his pieces a bit too overdone. I do like some of the gold styles....but I'd rather get a nice love bracelet etc that won't be confused for silver.

Totally agree! If I don’t personallly love it - it doesn’t matter how ‘classic’ or ‘valuable’ a piece is.

As for wearability of the 16-stone Schlumberger...
I really won’t know until I get to try it. I wear my chunky eternity band with the Trinity band which would be too much for some people but I like it that way.

Wow thank you for sharing this photo! It would certainly be a stand alone ring. Do you have a small ring size? I am a Azael 9 so anything dainty looks lonely on my fingers :(2

I want something to pair with this Lucida band sometimes... or with the Trinity band. Any suggestions?

I'm sorry, I have to let others reply to what would be considered a classic cocktail ring.
I just haven't paid enough attention to cocktail rings.
 
:love::love: Diamonds!!! I LOVE that ring ~ it is on my wishlist (but will probably never happen). In my mind I'm getting it for my 16th anniversary ~ LOL.
 
Diamonds! But I am surprised how thick that ring is!
