Here are the settings I like and the pros and cons
Endless Love Pros: I love the clean lines and classic look, as well as the rim of gold around the stone Cons: Cost, and in old threads, I read Richard Homer does not recommend bezels because repolioshing is harder (the stone already needs it believe it or not) Whiteflash halo Pros: Price, I love the profile view Cons: Too much diamonds not enough metal? Sholdt ring Pros: Price, I like the lines Cons: Is the stone to exposed? Maybe too modern? These are just some of my thoughts. Any opinions. |

Thanks, my BF likes the third one best too. I am starting to think that may be the best option as this stone has a lot of presence and an elaborate ring might compete with it. But I go back and forth. |

How about something like this, but with scattered melee instead? http://www.artofplatinum.com/4images/details.php?image_id=285

I like that!!!! By scattered, you mean fewer diamonds and more gold??? |
I'm afraid I don't care for the others, but that's just me.|

Well, none of those are settings I have to have for this stone. Just I can't find anything that is perfect. I am guessing that will be something I will need to have made. Guess I will looking to contacting a couple people. I love Leon, but I am guessing he is out of my range (at least for this project, I will have a Leon ring in the future). |

Try Terrie Ly. She does custom work and her prices are very reasonable. These are somewhat similar to what you might want: http://www.terriely.com/store/cart.php?target=product&product_id=261&category_id=64 |

What about a hybrid ring. The lines of the Sholdt with scattered diamonds???? by the way, did you ever post pics of your spess? Did I miss it? |

I like that setting idea!! Does Sholdt do custom?? No photos yet...boo. I am working on it. Unfortunately I am doing toooo much real work (my last floor month!) and it's really cutting into my fun time. |

I am doing CCU next month, too! But I far, far prefer that to floors even though the hours are about the same. I'm sick of running around all day  eta- I cannot believe intern year is almost over. As painful as it can be... it goes so fast. And I've really just started feeling like a real doctor over the past few months. |

I love Terry''s work and since she works with high karat gold, your spess will really shine in it.
I like the open design of the Sholdt but the exposed girdle on the north and south end worries me. If you do choose that route, I''d add a collet (collar of metal around the girdle) as added protection. |

It goes by fast. Intern year ending was kind of bitter sweet. I had some great friends during that year, and we went out separate ways, but I do not miss the hours. |

How funny!!! A lot of docs go there for ''conferences'' and go crazy. It is kind of funny to hear stories about middle aged guys partying like they are in college. But I am thinking there are a lot of reconstructive something-and-something''s in South Beach who live there. How could he miss that rock on your left hand??? |

I wish she had more stuff on her website. I am still trying to get an idea. I like the design of Sholdt, but I probably would not use them because of the open design. I just like the curves on their rings. That is why I was looking at halo styles, because it would be an attractive way to add a layer of protection. |
