When you have an Octavia, it deserves an expensive setting :lol:

For the same reason, you would not have vinyl seats in your car.

Thanks, guys...I decided to go with the TR-005 Gelin Abaici 500 palladium tension setting.

Kewl! :dance:
It kills me for paying $1782 for a 50% palladium setting. I'm not into expensive settings.


Me neither ... it's all about the rock.

Yeah, but if I ever upgrade the $1782 will go down the drain... ;(

Then why don't you go with Bruce Boone? Kenny has his rings by him and so does my husband. It'll save you over 1k.

I thought about it but then I would have to ship the stone off myself, oh well.

So DF - where's the ring? We've been waiting and waiting to see this baby in a setting!

However, I see your thread on upgrades and such - have you been bitten by the upgrade bug already?

Inquiring minds want to know these things - ha!

C'mon DF, what gives???

We've done due diligence in preparing for this - studying charts, Rhino's input, guessing the colour and clarity......to the point where I think we should see a picture or 14 of the gorgeous ring. :wall:

Don't be sly, or we'll start wondering whether you speak the truth. :bigsmile:

The jeweler said 3 weeks but haven't heard from them yet. No upgrade for now, no $$$... ;(

You don't need an upgrade yet - you just need to get this on your finger so you can fall in love with it!

I did pick up the ring on Monday but the stone was not centered.In other words...one side of the stone is sticking out further than the other, so it will be going back to Gelin Abaci.They might have to do a new setting, and if that is the case then I will ask GA to size down the ring from a 9.25 to a 8.75, b/c it felt pretty loose on my finger, plus tapper the ring down to 5.5mm at the bottom.The weight of the 500 palladium ring felt really nice, not too heavy and not too light, just right.

Just have them grind down one side of your Octavia. :o :bigsmile:

Sorry bout the delay.
But I'm glad you'll be getting a better fit, which is super important with tension settings.
How did you feel about the distance from your skin to the culet?

Kenny
Funny you ask this Q...I requested GA to set the culet lower, but had this ring fixed "snugly" (tried on my middle finger ;)) ) then the culet will come very close to touching the skin, so this time I'll request GA to raise the culet maybe like 1mm higher.
