Micropave or "Eternity" solitare setting HELP... Under $1000

[phiberoptik]

Ok so I have found a few but Im hoping my good friends here at PS can provide me power in numbers. Besides the ones I have posted below, would anyone who has suggestions for me please provide me links to similar rings to these UNDER $1000.

Thanks in advance!

I love how this ring looks except I dont want a halo - I like the band and its ideally what I would like with just the center diamond mounted with prongs and not a halo.

Try Signed Pieces/Facets Collection: http://www.thefacetscollection.com/home.cfm. A ton of people on this forum have purchased their eternity bands from this place. Do a search on them in this forum and you will see many pictures and very happy customers. If they don''t have exactly what you are looking for, give them a call and they will give you a price quote. They are very friendly and helpful.

My FI was going to buy my setting and wband there but ended up negotiating a better price, along with the diamond from Mark at Engagement Rings Direct. However, if we ever upgrade my wband, I''ll probably choose one of the SP eternity bands.

Thank you!

Bump please more suggestions. Someone help me find the hidden treasure.

honestly a well made plat. solitare can be priced well over 1K. for micropave or eternity labor costs enter into the pricetag. there is a huge gap b/t poorly done and high qualtiy pave and it''s a stong example of getting what you pay for. Out of what you posted, the Wf legato would be my pic and gets my recommendation.

 

[Skippy123]

I really like the Vatache GOG one you posted. Glad you are back

 

[phiberoptik]

Thanks Skippy. I come and go. Just depends on how much Ive been thinking about the ring and how much free time I have at work haha. My new position is much busier.

Bump since this has been sittign for a while. Can anyone help point me in a direction of something similar beyond what I have posted??

Thanks!

 

[Skippy123]

Have you talked to GOG to see what they can do for you or if they recommend a different manuf at cheaper price?

Have you looked at Knox jewelers rings?

 

[phiberoptik]

I dont like GOG''s site because they dont list prices. That just doesnt sit well with me.

I have looked at Knox and like a few on there but none jump out as the ideal one. Im just hoping someone else knows the location of another one that Im not finding.

 

[mrssalvo]

you can check out pearlmans site, all the prices are listed, however not sure you''d find a pave or eternity ring there for under 1K. I''d look at the beverley K line there, the rings are on the lower in the the setting prices and maybe one of those designs might inspire you? I still think the WF legato is going to be your best bet. do you know like it for some reason?

 

[Skippy123]

What kind of center stone are you getting? I did a search through Solomon Bro's clearance section. Pearlman's has some close outs too.

I found this http://www.solomonbrothers.com/Search/JewelrySearchDetails.asp?sSKU=82532

and this http://www.solomonbrothers.com/Search/JewelrySearchDetails.asp?sSKU=82605

here is a pave http://www.solomonbrothers.com/Search/JewelrySearchDetails.asp?sSKU=92651

Why isnt lynn b''s setting shown on whiteflash.com? I like her legato ring but the pave looks different than the micro pave that the legato on wf.com has now.

I cant figure out how to contact her directly so... maybe you know Skippy?

lynn b''s set was custom so it isn''t on the site. though, so many people LOVE it, they really should make it available i think!
if you start a thread titled ''calling lynn b'' (or something like that) it should get her attention and you can ask her any questions you have about her set.
it''s going to be TOUGH to find such exquisiteness under 1k though. with that kind of pricetag, you are looking at simple stock settings.

wait, isn''t this (the harmony) lynn b''s setting? http://whiteflash.com/Engagement-Rings/Styles/Diamond-Settings/Harmony-Engagement-Ring_1136.htm
it says $1495 but when you click on it it says $2095 (platinum, so maybe the lesser price is for WG?) anyway, it is slightly different from lynn b''s in that the head is not integrated into the shank.

Good find... Thank you... Id still love more ideas.

I actually went to Jared''s on lunch out of boredom the other day and they had a 3/4 pave band that they said they could put a 4 or 6 prong head on for like $500 total. Thats what I like to hear because frankly, the setting may get changed in the next 10 or less years so I can spend more on the diamond. Im not opposed to a $1500 setting, but if i find the right look for the right price I am going to jump on it.

Here is one from Knox for $690... http://www.knoxjewelers.biz/index.htm?crn=200&rn=809&action=show_detail

and a slightly different one also from Knox for the same price: http://www.knoxjewelers.biz/index.htm?crn=200&rn=770&action=show_detail

Another from Knox (more like 1/2 eternity) for $890 http://www.knoxjewelers.biz/index.htm?crn=264&rn=920&action=show_detail

G/L with your search

 

[phiberoptik]

Thanks posh... I have seen those and believe it or not. I found basically the exact same ring at Jareds for less. I didnt think Jareds was less at anything!

Any more ideas... I know most of you love scavenger hunting for people on here!

thank you.
