Reminds Me Of Christine's Ring from Phantom of the Opera

Yes, I am a big Phantom of the Opera fan. Guilty and dorky pleasure. When I was in high school it was one of my favorite musicals to sing. This weekend I was watching the 2004 movie version and really noticed Christine's ring. So, here's a feature for all the other Phantom fans with rings that are similar to it or Christine also might have liked. This style of ring is considered a ballerina or cluster ring.

Genuine Diamond Engagement Cluster Ring Solid 18K Gold

Bloom Studio Trys Somthing New

A natural golden greenish brown faceted diamond slice has been wrapped in the sunny warmth of 22k gold and is accented with a sweet 2.5mm champagne diamond set. Total diamond weight is .33 carats. The diamonds are then perched atop an 18k hammered 1.5mm thin gold band and the entire piece has been given a modern matte satin finish.

Bloom studio states this as "Rustic elegances." I"ll agree with that. It's nice to see the designer pushing herself to try something different. I think it's a fun and quirky ring.

Me and Ro Is Ok By Me

ME & Ro - Pave Solitaire $1,340.00

I know Me and Ro is a fair sized operation with four boutique stores and over 100 employees, but I really love their work. Indian and Tibetan styled pieces using Indian diamonds and more. Over the weekend I stopped by their lower Manhattan store and tried on a few pieces. The sales lady was great., and really helpful with a personal style. (I was digging her double one side nose piercing.) I want to post this ring in particular. I've been a fan of this ring since I saw it but I had never gotten a chance to see it in person, until now. The pave on the side was so fine and tiny I was very impressed. I've seen rings online at a couple of places with slightly different pricing, only a difference of a few hundred dollars. It’s a great ring for the price I think. I also tried on a champagne diamond eternity band I wish I had a picture of it to post, but unfortunately Me and Ro don’t have all their pieces online so you just have to go there and look for it.

Rose Cut Cushion Cut Solitaire

18k rose gold, 0.41 carat diamond 4.5mm x 5.5mm

This ring is a simple design and it lets this uniquely cut diamond really stand out. It reminds me of the diamonds I saw in London in the Crown Jewelers. There were so many rose cut stones. So fantastic! This boxy rose cut is a great alternative cut if you're looking for something unusual and very romantic. A princess cut diamond can be so cliche and I think they look so cold. In theory, I think the princess cut sounds like a great the idea but they don't look right on most hands. The extra cuts on this diamond soften the look and it feels more elegant.

Happy London Finds

Recently, I went for a whirlwind trip to London to see 2 wonderful friends, the Tate Modern and Depeche Mode. On a day's outing we stopped at a small market at the Wharf on London's Southbank, between Waterloo and Blackfriars Bridge near the Tate Modern. I happened upon the work of Mikala Djorup. Mikala is a Danish born designer whose work is quite modern. She creates very organic handmade settings that present a set stone in a unique way, some having an almost Dr Seuss feel. Her settings protrude up and out presenting the stone on a elegant pedestal. She has many pieces with cognac diamonds and gold. May favorite piece I sadly don't have a close up picture of, so you will have to get the idea from my drawing. It was a cognac diamond emerald cut just under a carat set in white gold or platinum in a 4 prong setting. It is a great example of the up and out setting I mentioned earlier. I liked her solitaire stone pieces more then her stacked tube pieces. But, this is just personal preference.

So, if you're on vacation and have the time or you're a Londoner who read this blog go check her out!
