FYI....just in case you didn't know......Roy is from Chch but is currently living in Oz on the Sunshine Coast or Brizzie area, hence the abundance of beach generated rings. No such luck around here sunshine!

Ahh, so there's no secret beach around here that's always sunny and frequented by many, many bikini-cladded, ring-dropping beach babes?

Are you 100% sure?!

I actually think it is the opposite and it is a VERY good find. Just googled Kabana rings and instead of enamel the white inlay is Mother of Pearl. US jeweler of course being 14k. Here's a link to the white gold version (but with 10 instead of 8 diamonds): http://www.kokopellioutlet.com/Kabana-14k-White-Gold-Ring-with-Inlaid-White-Mother-of-Pearl-and-Ten-Diamonds-_p_6271.html
