An Unexpected Combination…

After my trip to California, I arrived home with a lot of new, little goodies.  The sad part is almost always when I purchase a ring, it needs to be sized before I can wear it–that means I have to part with the new jewels for a week.  Just when I was about to get excited to wear them!  More about those soon.

Luckily one of the rings that I picked up was actually my size.  It is the bottom band in the stack–the 5 diamond, slightly curved band ring. These types of rings often get overlooked or stereotyped as “anniversary bands” or “wedding bands.”  I hardly see them as so.  They are great for stacking, like seen how I did in the photo.  I was only playing around with different ring combinations, and when came up with this it became my new favorite.  Do you like it?

isee2 Diamonds: Beauty Beyond Compare

11/24/2008

A ring is a ring, is a ring.  I love it when I see diamond companies creating unique settings that show off a diamond’s true beauty.  There are too many times where we see the same old, same old.  Coming across the brand isee2 Diamonds is a breath of fresh air!  As you can see below, their designs are interesting and are not something you see everyday, in every jewelry shop.  They would catch people’s attention and get compliments forever!  Whether used as a right-hand ring or the engagement ring, any of these would be beautiful–all live up to the company’s slogan: Beauty Beyond Compare.

Sleek Wave Rings from Ylang|23

10/23/2008

I want to wear all of these rings somehow at once!  The sleekness and flow of these are very pretty.  All are similar, yet very different.  Prices range from $335-385 and they are done in 14k rose and 14k yellow gold.  See for yourself why I’ve been drawn to them by checking out Ylang|23, where you’ll find that these rings are designed by the store’s private label.  You will be left with wanting at least one of them, if not more!
