When I referred to sapphire studs, I was talking about rounds in the jackets. Like the ones below with sapphires.



Namtan does have great taste. That's for sure. I love double baguettes, too with a pear. But they'd probably be a higher color if you did diamond baguettes. I'm not  so sure how easy it is to find four baguettes the color of that pear which is scrumptious! But I don't know that they would have to match either. But that's David's area and I might be wrong.

Hi all,
I've just came back from a short holiday at the beach.
I'm so glad to have all of you involve in the process.  Wink

This might be a surprise for some of you but I'm now leaning toward the pear! :pear
The reasons are
1. My DH love the pear. Since he is generous enough to let me buy more jewelry this year (I'm already over the jewelry budget now  Evil), I want to choose something we both love.
2. It is BIG!   Grin
3. I think it will look good on my hand.

Now please help me think about how to add some pink that won't broke my bank. I'm thinking about pink baguettes. David seems like to have a pair in this thread. http://coloreddiamon...might-be-a-keeper/0/
or split shank with pink malee.
Any suggestion?

I think that if the pink baguettes are a possibility I would go for them as the look is so unique and rare!

How about something like this with pink baguettes. I wonder whether this pair of pink will be too small  Huh?

Yeah D, you are here.
Then will you be able to find me pink baguettes for that look?
and how much will that baguettes probably cost. If they are too pricy, I have to come up with other design.  Cry

Um...... I'm sorry, but unless there's a large budget we have to rule out pink baguettes.
Although there are actually a few stones in that wild parcel we found- I don't believe there's a sizable pair.
if there were, they'd be something like $$5000

Colorless are gorgeous, and those, we can find!

Namtan, I had a gorgeous M pear set in a pendant with a colourless baguette and it looked stunning. It was a nice contrast between the soft antique white of the pear and the icy white of the baguette on the bale. I traded it up and miss it still. What colour is the pear you're looking at? It looks very white in the photo. I think it would be gorgeous with white bags.

If you really have your heart set on pink, how about some pink melee on the shank? I know pinks are ruinously expensive, but I think the brownish pink melee are beautiful - noticeably pink and very striking. I think they are a little bit more budget friendly, maybe?

ETA I see now that it's a K. I think that will be perfect with white baguettes.

As a compromise, how about something like this:  a cluster on each side of the pear made of five, small, pinkish brown RBs and more pinkish browns inset into the rose gold shank? Or, would the price-friendly RBs for the clusters be too small to work?

I am loving Trinkette's idea!  It would be sort of like a trap shape beside the pear, no?

Actually, I got it wrong! I was thinking trill shapes, which would require six rounds on each side, not five. However, Mikla's interpretation of my boo boo is interesting... (good save, Mikla)!

Great thinknig T!

Small rounds could be arranged to look like either triangle- or maybe even pear shape!

I love a pear with double baguettes. I love that fat pear. And it is such a nice size for the carat weight.

I'm looking forward to see the lay out of pear with white bags from David.

To satisfy my crave of pink. Do you think it will looking ok if I use pink gold for the ring and the bags but white gold around pear. Will that make it look like I have pink bags?   Huh?

and I also think about the option of split shake brown pink melee. 

what do you think? or I could have all white for the pear ring and buy a pink curve band to add on.  Roll Eyes

I like the idea of using small pink rounds either side of the pear. I'm not sure if putting pink gold on white bags would make them look pink enough to satisfy the pink craving, but David will be able to tell you for sure. I have a pink gold ring with a white diamond solitaire and it does look like a white diamond, so I'm really not convinced that would work. Still, step cut bags might pick up more colour?

I also like the idea of a split shank with brownish pink melee (and the ones I've seen from DBL with these little stones do not look brown at all to me, just pink, pink, pink). You can add a matching band all in pink gold too, if you feel like it.

Also, maybe think about having the whole ring in pink gold? DBL pink gold is a beautiful warm colour, I love my pink ring. My (non DBL) stone was in a pendant before, in white gold. It looks a much nicer colour in the pink gold. I was surprised at just how much better it looks (I don't have any info on the actual colour, but it's quite warm).

A split shank with pinkish brown rounds in rose gold would look absolutely divine. I believe it would satisfy your desire for "pink." And, I think the haloed ring will look very large – bigger than a center stone with sides – especially on your petite hands, Namtam... Now, do you WANT a BIG look?

Also, IMO, it would give quite a different overall impression from a solitaire with sides (whether the sides be clusters or single stones), so, here's where you need to give extra thought to your aesthetic preferences. Guard against not giving away the overall ring style you prefer JUST to quench your thirst for pink... The right combination WILL come to you.

I do agree, however, that white baguettes as sides will look relatively white, regardless of metal color. That being said, I know David has at least one ring with a "colorless" diamond set into a head with rose gold accents, and there is "something" about it that reads faint pink at times. Checkout haloed emerald cut G-color diamond ring in platinum R1468. I'd add a photo here, but, I'm, having a terrible time loading pages and posting today (thank you stinky satellite connection *SIGH*). This should give you an idea of what you might expect by mounting colorless baguettes into rose gold. Again, is it ENOUGH of a pink fix for you?

There is lots to consider here, and happily, it is all very doable.  Wink

Ohhh Namtan, how exciting!

That pear is really lovely - and over the odds in terms of face up size.  If it were mine I'd be really tempted with a pair of white bags - elegant and allow the pear to be the star of the show.

Imagine pink baguettes with that beauty! Pity about the price.  What about sapphires? (pink sapphires, of course).  

I loved the suggestions to get a bit of pink happening, and it got me thinking....    

Aside from the impossibility of finding a mess of matching pink or pinkish brown bags...... could say 3 smaller straight cut baguettes be set east/west going down the shank - or even either side down the split shank.....you know, like an em cut eternity ring type thing.
  
Or smaller pink bags set in one of the patterns suggested with the clusters of pinkish brown rounds, with say, 5 stones along the 'top' row next to the pear, then going down to 3 stones - creating an almost trap shape.  I'm not explaining that well...but I have a visual in my head... and it might be a little busy to be elegant...

I keep coming back to the thought of that pear with a top pair of white tapered bags...in white gold/platinum.  Lovely.  

I'm sure what ever you decide will be stunning - it's just so much fun to play along at home Smiley

Namtam, if you don't mind the difference in dispersion, and a little less hardness, Rubymu's suggestion of pink sapphire is a great way to get your pink fix. It is a highly durable stone, can be found within a reasonable budget, and, you could find your "perfect" tone of pink – whatever that may be (ballerina pink, hot pink, peachy pink...). It is certainly worth serious consideration, especially, if you were not opposed to the blue sapphire in the OMC ring.

I like the split shank with pinkish brown melee idea. That would look pretty also! Trinkette's idea of saphires in a ballerina pink, IMHO,  would look really good and maybe satisfy your desire for pink. There is a picture of an asscher diamond w/pink sapphire baguettes ring if you go to google and type in asscher with pink sapphires and then select images to search. It's actually on another ring website, but not sure if it break the forum rules here if I posted it.  I tried to copy the pic to post here, but it must be protected or read only.  Undecided
