kcoursolle - hope you don''t mind.
Naw, go for it! The U''s are awesome, it wouldn''t be the same band without them! What size stones do you think you will get?Date: 2/15/2007 7:07:36 PM

I love the U shape too. It''s the nicest look I''ve seen. So clean and modern and elegant. Sometimes those kinds of bands look positively industrial but yours is G-ORGEOUS. And such yummy diamonds.
Yours is juuuuust what I would want!
You wouldn''t mind me copying you, would you? I mean, when the time comes.
I haven''t had any problems so far, but I''m really not sure how fragile this style is compared to other shared prongs. I would ask WF or other vendors. However, the stones are set very low, so I never knock it on anything. With shared prong styles in general though, they do suggest you get the prongs checked and tightened fairly frequently (every 6 months or so). My ring is insured just in case something happens, so I''m really not too worried about it.Date: 2/16/2007 1:52:32 PM

Hello kcoursolle,
Your ring is breathtaking. My 30th is right around the corner and my hubby has said i can look for a RHR. I have yours in mind.
I was just wondering about the setting. I love the U shape, but it seems really fragile, like the diamonds can fall out easily. have you had any issues with the setting?
I think it would look lovely with .20-.25 carat stones. Don''t forget that with smaller stones you can easily go down to J/SI and you could save even more money if you get uncerted stones (if you don''t want to upgrade later). I hardly see anything in my I''s and I would definitely go down to a J if I wanted to save money.Date: 3/1/2007 10:28:33 PM

I think I might be copying kcoursolle too - it is the most beautiful 5 stone I have seen - and I have spent MANY hours online and at B&Ms researching! I actually contacted WF about that design (once I saw she didn''t mind copycats), but I don''t have the budget for 30 point ACAs. So if I get it, I''ll have to go with 20 or 25 pointers. I don''t know if it will look the same though!!!
Lucy - One thing I can tell you about the strength of it is that I asked about having it made in palladium and they said that they didn''t really recommend it because they weren''t sure it would be strong enough for this design. So I have a feeling it should be fine if it''s made in platinum and checked frequently.
Oh...decisions, decisions...it seems my taste in diamonds is just too expensive for my meager budget!!!

That pic is one of my favorites too, glad you like it! I took about a couple of hundred pics and I got 50 or so that turned out well.Date: 3/1/2007 10:56:12 PM

I''m really glad you asked, Independent Girl!!
So many fabulous rings, I hadn''t seen KC''s thread before. BEAUTIFUL!!
I especially liked the one pic, KC, where you''re holding the ring on your thumb. There''s light coming from above. And there''s a burst of sparkles on your thumb!!
ooooh, I can''t wait to see how it would turn out if you get it! Sounds lovely!Date: 3/1/2007 11:46:57 PM

Wow, I''m glad I''m not the only one who loves this design. In fact I had emailed WF to see if they could do this, but in a 7 stone version, using smaller stone. It was very reasonable. Have to think about it though...

It would probably be best if you get a quote from WF since prices may have increased, but the setting quote I got was 1200 for plat and 800 for WG, very reasonable I felt.Date: 3/3/2007 9:35:29 AM

Gothgirl and kcoursolle-
Can you comment on how much WF quoted you for your respective rings (ie. the 7 stone, and the 5 stone)? I''m very curious!!
