Title: Thought you might like to see a ring we just made
Post by: neilep on 24/04/2007 05:06:24
It's a simple but smart and sleek design with a tension style setting.

This is just a silver model with a cubic zirconia...the clients was a real diamond in Platinum and looked a zillion times better....I liked it so much I wanted a copy for my ring box.

I know!  I found out when I took those pics to the jeweler to get a price on real stones and platinum.  Think I'll just stick with white gold for now.

I'm afraid it's not natural at all...it's yellow gold which has been alloyed with various metals to give it it's white finish...

Well, now I'm just completely disillusioned!!  So what makes white gold better than plain old silver?

Because it has just as much real gold in it as yellow gold...still far rarer and precious than silver..it's just real gold that has been coloured !!...and 18k Yellow gold has the same amount of gold as 18k White gold....about 75% !!...9k is less than 50%...

Hi karen & Seany,


Well, If they went to a posh central london Jeweller it would have cost them £2000 ($4000).....but we made it for £1200 ($2400)...the diamond was a quarter of a carat and was a pure brilliant white diamond (you can't get a purer ' colour ') with very very slight inclusions...it was a stunning stone !!

if you had stayed with aol, and got their broadband. you would have been able to download free movies and tv shows direct to your pc, plus all the other benefits of having aol.

if you still have an account with them try this link: http://free.aol.com/thenewaol/openride/

it will involve downloading additional aol software, but you may like it. the design is based on microsoft vista, you will have to sign in with your aol screen name once you download and run the software. if you dont like it or it will not let you have aall the functions because you no longer subscribe to aol. you can always uninstall it.
