Thanks luv2sparkle. It is actually just one row of micropave. Instead of just a plain metal support bar I wanted a bit of bling. I still wanted to keep it a solitaire though. I can't wait to see the finished piece. CADs never seem to do the final piece justice.
Lynn, Thanks so much for the advice. I have a few pave rings already and I put them in my US evertime I clean them. I plan on doing the same with this one as well. I hope to never lose a stone but if I do I am sure Brian and Lesley will fix it for me as quickly as they can.The head of the ring is very similar to your "grace". How do you feel that is working out for you? Do you think it is easier to clean on a daily basis? I have a 6 prong tiffany now and can''t clean the pavillion great cause it sits so low.Date: 5/14/2010 5:30:41 PM

KT, it''s GORGEOUS and I LOVE it!And the diamond is KILLER, too. Woo Hoo, congratulations!
The *ONLY* thing I feel a bit compelled to mention is this: are you sure that you are gonna be OK with a setting you may not be comfortable putting in the ultrasonic? I LOVE the look of the micropave around the head, but might it keep you from feeling like your center stone is reeeeally, SQUEEEEAKY clean?
That was the problem with my fishtail pave setting... it actually was starting to cause me to feel dissatisfied with my CENTER STONE, and that was wrong and just plain dangerous!But the fact was that it was just plain DIRTY (had developed a stubborn film over the pavilion that even RICH could hardly remove) and that was affecting performance. Once it got un-set, cleaned, and re-set into the new Grace setting... voila! The beautiful diamond I remembered!!!
I know LOTS of people are THRILLED with their pave e-rings, so maybe it''s just me that''s terminally OCD... but I just felt like I wouldn''t be doing my PS duty if I didn''t at least MENTION it!
So, please, KT, feel VERY free to ignore this whole post!!!
Thanks wsblue430! The shank is very similar to the grace. I love the idea of a bit of bling but still keeping the solitaire look. No real update yet but I am hoping to have it on my hand late next week. The width of the shank will be about 1.9-2.0mm when it is polished. I am not sure about the height but I will find out for you.Date: 5/16/2010 11:07:58 PM

Its gorgeous!!I love that the bar has pave on it..it just gives it that touch of bling. I wish I would have thought about that on my Grace setting. It actually reminds me of the grace..and you will absolutely adore the 4 prongs for cleaning..its so easy to get the little brush and clean the pav. I also love the slight arms.. it looks fabulous!
Just curious, what is the width of the shank? and the height?
I do plan on wearing a wedding band with this. I have quite a few different bands that I will wear with it. A couple of bezel bands, a dome pave band, a scattered band and a shared prong band. I love to change up my bands so that was a big push for me to not have diamonds on the shank and just in the head.
