Show me your right hand rings!

[AugustSeptemberOctober]

I've just treated myself to a few bargains from Gemporia. I don't usually do big flashy stones, but fancied something a bit different and these did not disappoint. Not to everyone's taste I know, but I love them! Please show me yours

Unusual but me likes

That is very interesting Petra.

I know its on my left but it does fit the right hand if my paws are cold

I love my ring that my husband bought me on holiday in Devon this year. It's a large, polished piece of leopard skin jasper, in a heavy silver mount.

This was my mum’s engagement ring. It’s very thin now, and the local jeweller told me it only has a couple of years left in it before it will wear through completely. I’ll be devastated - I’ve worn it ever since my mum died.

Find another jeweller who can rebuild the metal for you. Mine was done years ago an antique ring which wore away

My emerald and diamond ring was a tax on DH for undertaking a huge project for his work. I don't work there. If anyone knows what to call it, I'm looking or matching earrings! I bought it "vintage" but I think it's hallmarked in the 90s.

The tiny diamond and silver ring that stops the other one falling off was a gift to myself.

This is such a beautiful ring

@VenusClapTrap a competent jeweller will be able to help with that. Whoever you saw can't be one who actually makes any jewellery. Lots of places will be able to work on it for you!

I had a similar problem with an antique emerald ring, it was paper thin.

You need to find a jeweller with a workshop. They can cut the shank of the ring off and replace it with a new one. It will probably have to go to an assay office, so won't be done in a couple of days, but will be as good as new when it's done. Just make sure you get it sized properly.

Mine was a birthday present to myself too. Hammered yellow gold with a beautiful opal (it’s hard to photograph, but it has all the colours in it). I don’t wear it all the time because I’m clumsy and I do a lot of gardening and cooking.

There are some beautiful rings on this thread! I'm currently waiting for the small independent jeweller near me to open so I can pick up a ring I've had made from two inherited rings.I'm very excited!

The jewellers did say they could remake it. But in addition to a new shank it would also need new claws, as they are also very worn and it’s an unusual setting. All that would remain of the old ring would be the diamonds, and then it wouldn’t feel like my mum’s ring any more.

The claws can be rebuilt but the setting will not be touched and if you want the gold can be incorporated into shank

@VenusClapTrap I'd definitely get a second opinion on that. You might find that on resetting it all, it's no different to a refresh when you wear it. It would still be her ring, just safeguarded for the longer term. It's absolutely beautiful.

Opals, emeralds, be careful hand sanitizer can be drying

I've asked for this one for Christmas after someone posted about buying their dd one for her birthday.

@Thatsplentyjack I bought that ring for myself after reading that thread 😁 it's lovely, really pleased with it, although I wear it on my left hand.

@LumosSolem, 🤣 brilliant. That's really lovely. I'm getting the silver one because all my jewellery is silver so I hope it looks as nice. Is yours the real diamond or cz?

@Thatsplentyjack mines just the CZ (couldn't justify spending more 😁) but I'm really pleased with it. It's very delicate and pretty

Mine is just a plain gold band. Was my Nan's wedding ring

@LumosSolem, yup, I thought the same. Well that's lovely, I'm looking forward to getting mine now.

This was my mum's, bought in Amsterdam.

It's actually a pinky stone but looks very dark today maybe because I'm wearing a lot of black

Kataoka diamond rings are so beautiful but so expensive. Check them out.
One day I may get one haha. Their so delicate and just stunning
