SkyMall Monday: Five Stones Ring
There was big news out of SkyMall Monday headquarters this weekend. I got engaged! As you can imagine, we're pretty thrilled. As you might also imagine, there's been a lot of talk about rings. I was fortunate enough to be able to give my fiancée my great-grandmother's ring. It saved me the agony of having to shop for jewelry (and, yes, also a lot of money). Ring shopping is tough. It's nerve-racking, complicated and, of course, expensive. Thankfully, if you're in the market for a special ring for an ever more special lady, SkyMall makes the search simple. Forget diamonds. In fact, forget the idea of having just one stone. If you really want to impress your lady - and everyone else - then you need to go all out. You need to maximize your stones. You need the semiprecious power of the Five Stones Ring.Everyone gets a diamond engagement ring. Where's the fun in that? And plenty of girls have birthstone rings. That's also cliche. What you need is more stones. Why choose just one? Or two? Five is the real magic number. It took five people to form Voltron. There were five members of The Breakfast Club. And there are five semiprecious stones in the Five Stones Ring. Coincidence? Not at all. Five is where it's at.
Think that engagement rings need diamonds? Believe that haphazardly throwing five stones into a ring looks like a geologist threw up? Well, keep playing with your rock tumbler while we read the product description:
Thankfully, the Five Stones Ring can fit anyone, as it's available in whole sizes 6-10. I mean, sure, my fiancée is a size 4, but the Five Stones Ring looks even more amazing when worn on the thumb. That should ensure a snug fit.
So, if you need to pop the question - or any question, really - make sure that you go all out. Don't do the expected. Remember Voltron. Remember the power of five.

While I have only ever heard of two of those stones, I can only assume it's because the other three - peridot, citrine and iolite - are so fantastic that they are only known to people much more powerful and sophisticated than me. And since you are combining five different stones, it only makes sense to use three different cuts.Can't decide which semiprecious stone is your favorite? This impressive ring features five of the most popular: amethyst, peridot, citrine, garnet, and iolite.
Oval, emerald, and pear-shaped stones are hand-set in sterling silver bezels on a polished sterling band.

Don't forget the five "elements" that were featured rings on "Captain Planet."

I respect people who create art. This ring does not jive with my aesthetic tates.

Plus, there's the "five gold rings" right after the four calling birds and before the six geese a laying. The five gold rings are the best part of that song. Congrats, again, by the way. This ring reminds me of rummaging through the prize drawer at the doctor's or dentist's office when I was a kid.

A yellow gold band with 5 much smaller diamonds would echo the engagement rign and look very pretty.

Congratulations on the engagement, Mike. Also, Milla Jojovich was "The FIFTH Element" and there were originally FIVE members in the Keaton family, Seaver family, and Simpson family on "Family Ties", "Growing Pains", and "The Simpsons", respectively.

This may be my favorite Gadling comment ever.
