I have spent nearly 10 years in the business learning "all there is to know" (here's a hint: there is always more to know!) about diamonds, precious and semi precious gems and jewelry in general. I must say that never in those 10 years have I seen someone inset diamonds on the inside of a band. I think it is the ultimate concept of subtle luxury. I only wish the happy couple had opted for plain gem-free exterior, wide Platinum or Titanium bands and left the diamonds on the interior to the imagination. It would be so deliciously mysterious. But I guess that would not be "Elton enough!" :-) I am very much into “the ring” research and design.

They do attract dirt and junk though which is why you should clean them once a week. And NtB, yes they would be inset flush into the band probably hammerset, which allowing for stone depth would place the ring at least 2.5mm off the fingerline. Which would be so ridiculous. My sister always thought a Neverending Band would be nice (diamonds shoulder to shoulder all the way around) but then we pointed out to her that everything she gripped-like a water glass, would get scratched by the diamonds.

To each their own!

Do they have trailer parks in the UK? Ever notice how man wealthy people have gaudy taste. Is it a prerequisite for being a wealthy entertainer? Was Elton born in a trailer park?

But it really doesn't show the diamonds to any advantage, there's no light for them to sparkle in. As for the rings as a whole... well for EJ they're *perfect* but I can't imagine anyone else who would be able to pull them off.
