Solitaire's the Only Game in Town

Fri Oct 06 20:06:03 EDT 2006
Sure a flawless, 5-carat brilliant cut diamond is amazing, and any
girl would love to flaunt one on the third finger of her left hand,
we're not disputing that. However, the diamond solitaire is a tad,
shall we say, predictable? Perhaps even a bit dull?

Why not give the solitaire ring a new twist but choosing one set with
a gorgeous, oversize pearl? Or pick a mother-of-pearl ring or hot new
floral design? There are plenty out there to choose from, whatever
your taste and budget. Here are some of my faves...

Large freshwater cultured pearl and white CZ flower design, 18k white
gold-plated sterling silver, $237, www.moonriverpearls.com
