A ready made ring is just as fab, Louise. Show us what you get. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-spend-birthday-money#post-155371 Tue, 11 May 2010 23:10:41 +0000 Rosie 155371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely idea! </p> <p>I don't know why, but on my hands, if I am wearing only one ring on each hand, I prefer one on a ring finger and one on another finger, usually middle but that is just because of the fits of my various rings. </p> <p>I think mixing metals is so common these days and people don't really think there is anything wrong with it. An easy way to bring it all together is to wear a two-toned watch, of course. As Katie mentioned, having more than one color in the ring itself could help, too. I have a special ring I got made a couple years ago that is an amethyst I had bought for myself, the platinum wedding band of my great aunt, and a yellow gold setting my parents paid for for my birthday. All the colors look really great together and I never think about what else I wear with it. If you have a band you really like, this could lower the cost of getting a ring designed, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-spend-birthday-money#post-155319 Tue, 11 May 2010 21:32:05 +0000 Louise 155319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Snap I got my engagement ring from the jewellery quarter too. Whereabouts in the UK are you? i know Lichfield too x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-spend-birthday-money#post-155309 Tue, 11 May 2010 21:26:32 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 155309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends on who you go to in terms of designing. It might be possible to do what you want at the right price if you do some research - I had some sapphire drop ear-rings made for a friend at a manufacturing jewellers in Lichfield for about £120 (good quality sapphires), ok some time ago (8 yrs ago?).</p> <p>A trip to Birmingham jewellery quarter brings back happy memories for me of engagement ring shopping... </p> <p>Hope you have fun on Saturday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-spend-birthday-money#post-155226 Tue, 11 May 2010 18:14:09 +0000 Louise 155226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking of buying one of the rack so to speak, wouldn't it be super expensive to design one myself? I've got a max. of £200 to spend. I was thinking of going to the jewellery quarter in Birmingham on Saturday x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-spend-birthday-money#post-155146 Tue, 11 May 2010 14:19:04 +0000 Angie 155146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay! If a ring is your choice of keepsake than fabulous. Let's start a separate thread on how to design it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-spend-birthday-money#post-155071 Tue, 11 May 2010 11:15:35 +0000 Katiepea 155071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the concept of a special keepsake Louise - what a wonderful idea!</p> <p>I'm not sure if this is very out of fashion, but my engagement ring consists of mainly platinum with just a touch of yellow gold near the precious stone. I just thought I'd suggest it because maybe you haven't considered the idea of combining metals.</p> <p>(I have no idea if it would work or not or even appeal to you for that matter, but thought I'd just suggest it because it works for me and my jewellry collection!) </p> <p>If not, I second the idea of a beautiful emerald pendant! Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-spend-birthday-money#post-155039 Tue, 11 May 2010 08:07:36 +0000 Louise 155039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like rings but can never get costume jewellery ones to fit, hence the idea of an expensive one? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-spend-birthday-money#post-154791 Mon, 10 May 2010 22:30:22 +0000 Angie 154791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise, I like how you want to spend your birthday money. Are you into rings? You could get a pretty pendant or earrings instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-spend-birthday-money#post-154767 Mon, 10 May 2010 21:38:11 +0000 Louise 154767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had a look online though I would rather purchase in store so I can try it on a see it in real life. I want something fairly simple as i'd like to wear it regularly x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-spend-birthday-money#post-154763 Mon, 10 May 2010 21:34:16 +0000 rute 154763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love rings and I think one on each hand is lovely.. not too much!</p> <p>Have you selected your ring already? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-spend-birthday-money#post-154760 Mon, 10 May 2010 21:26:54 +0000 Louise 154760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rather that frittering away my birthday money on nonsense, I'm thinking of putting it towards a ring. I've got in mind a gold and emerald (my birthstone) ring to wear on my right hand ring finger. Do you think it will be too matchy wearing a ring on both ring finger of either hand? as I always wear my engagement band x</p> <p>Edit- would silver and emerald look naff with a gold engagement ring on the other hand? x </p>
