TL, I really like the daintiness of the shank and gallery. This is my favorite of your settings so far. But if the metal bothers you, then you wont'' be happy with it. I think it''s possible for your jeweler to reduce the metal, but the head seems to be built as one unit. Maybe you can have the metal corners shaved down? Or you can widen the prongs so it can accomodate a larger stone. That way, you won''t see the metal corners from face-up. It can be overshadowed by a larger stone.
I think it''s nice the way it is. The details on the gallery make it stand out. That blue diamond sure looks purdy with the setting!!  |

TL I can''t see in your first pic clearly enough. Is it that the diamonds are pave and therefore small or is it that there''s lots of metal showing around the diamonds? Or is it the V shaped metal bits in each corner? These shanks tend to be cast all together (diamonds, metal etc) so changing anything can be risky.
I actually like the setting as it''s not "run of the mill". If you''re not happy, you won''t be in the future and it''s the top that you''ll see most so I''d be tempted to say to return it and get something else. What a pity cos it''s very pretty. |

Here's another picture, and you can see the diamonds a bit more clearly on the top. A demantoid is sitting in it. The demantoid is not meant for this setting though. I really love the style of it, my only contention is the top of it, the diamonds are covered by a bit too much metal, or don't seem to sparkle as much as my other diamonds. I did loupe them and they're full cut and clean, but the metal is covering too much of the stones, and they're smaller than in my other settings. I'm hoping for a very vibtrant stone to put in here, since it will be the center of attention anyways, and not the diamonds.

Hi Mochi, Same here, I also purchased a cushion aqua from him that I thought was medium, but it was actually too light. This aqua is actually a medium blue though. You should post a pic of your aqua though. I like his cutting, so it would be nice to see it. Thanks for the kind words on my setting. |

Very interesting setting, TL; I don''t think I''ve seen this LOGR one yet. How wide is the inside dimension? It doesn''t look like it''s going to be very forgiving width-wise, considering the diamonds on the prongs. Also, does this setting sit higher than the legacy setting (you got any digital calipers?)? I do like it, but I can understand not being 100% thrilled with it if the diamonds on the top aren''t up to snuff. And, that''s where they''ll get noticed the most too (especially by you). Have you decided what you''re going to do - return/keep?

You know, it has a big donut around the hole as indicated by the first pic with the blue diamond in it, so I think a 6mm will fit and the side diamonds will still show up. It's made for a 5 to 5.5mm stone though. I still haven't made up my mind.
 I have to post some pics of it next to my LTP OEC split shank ring. |

No offense taken at all. I am looking for honest opinions. Thank you

Okay, I think I know what you mean...took me awhile. You''re talking about the polished metal ring around the opening - like you might have on a bezel setting? If you could see this polished rim after the stone was set, that would bug me; it doesn''t fit in with the rest of the design. Hopefully, if you decide to keep it, you could find a stone that covers it. By the way, with the prongs having diamonds on the outside, are you limited in how low you can set a stone? I''m thinking that the prongs will have to maintain a certain length (or height, if you will) to keep the diamond design. |

I think it would be easy to find a stone to fit it since it is a typical round size. I really like this style because it reminds me of a modern deco style, especially with the dimensionality in the prongs which are squarish and raised, in comparison to the round head. That probably sounds a bit ridiculous doesn't it? I feel that if Clarice Cliff designed a ring, this would be it. I love the style of it, and I know it's not for everyone. I'm just torn because of the diamonds on the top.

Sorry - I also think it is a bit chunky. I hope the return works out ok -I don''t know what the vendor is talking about as I do not e-bay. Good luck  .
