So, we actually wound up buying this setting from Superbcert and it looks awesome. Haven't compared it side by side with the original, but I doubt I'd be able to tell a difference. If you really like this setting I think it's a great choice. I would definitely buy it again if I had to do it over. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey guys, sorry it took so long to respond, haven''t checked this site lately.
I bought the diamond from good old gold and sent it to excel in NY, where they set it themselves. I thought this was an easy way to do it, since they know their ring best. As far as excel vs. whiteflash I do have an opinion. When we were originally looking at Tiffany''s channel set solitare in the stores, we noticed that there were 2 different styles, only slightly different though. One is a true channel setting, the other is a bead setting. The one from Excel is a replica of the CHANNEL SETTING: http://www.exceldiamonds.com/-Engagement-Rings-5/Solitaire-With-Diamond-Accent-Engagement-Rings-12/Tiffany-Ring-Channel-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-In-6-Prong-Platinum-963.html The one from Whiteflash (unless there is another that I haven''t seen) is a BEAD SETTING: http://www.whiteflash.com/Engagement-Rings/Styles/Diamond-Settings/Tiffany-Bead-Set-Solitaire_953.htm When we compared the bead setting to the channel setting in the store, we both liked the channel setting better, but that''s a style thing. And actually, when I first noticed the subtle difference b/w them at Tiffany''s, I pointed at the two different rings and asked the salesman what was different about them. He said "oh there''s no difference in the setting." But when we both looked closer he was like "oh, wow, I never knew we had two different styles, they look so similar." I hadn''t known either until I really started looking closely at them, but I was surprised that the SALESMAN didn''t even know. I think they stopped making the bead setting and now only make the true channel set. Anyway, that''s just another thing to consider when choosing b/w whiteflash and excel. You might wanna stop in a Tiffany''s that has them both and compare them first. I don''t have great pictures yet but will post them soon! Hope that helps. Chooch |

So funny that this came up, as it''s exactly what I''ve been going through. I also found that Whiteflash did not have this style of ring (plain channel set...not a bead set). The do have a channel set in the X-prong style, and Debi was trying to get me some good pictures of it...but she disappeared in the past week or so. I think the Valentine''s Day rush is taking it''s toll!
I would love to see pictures of Chooch''s ring! |

I ordered a channel set ring from Whiteflash just last week. Basically, they are going to be using the "Platinum .5ct Cathedral Ring" on their website and have it tapered to a thinner width in the back. I really liked the one at Excel/Superbcert but found this one to be a lot cheaper. I will post pics of mine once they e-mail me but heres some shots of a ring with a marquise stone (i think?) they sold recently.......

Thanks for the compliments. I hope these pics help. Sorry it took me so long to get these out, I''ve been crazy busy during the last few months. Both my fiance and I are med students doing our internal medicine rotation, so we haven''t been doing much but sleeping outside of the hospital. Anyway, we both love the ring and are completely happy with it. Excel did a great job.
Let me know if you have any questions. Chooch |

Sure...
So the diamond is a 1.10 F SI1 (diameter was 6.64 mm) that I bought from Good Old Gold. We''re incredibly happy with the stone, it looks absolutely amazing. And I actually pretty much went to all of the Tiffany stores within a few hundred miles over the 5 or 6 months before buying this ring, trying to decided what the perfect size stone should be. Whenever I was in a city with a Tiff store I would stop in. In the end, I think I got it right...it looks perfect on her hand, and she loves it.

For a wedding band I think she is going to get a channel set band that looks pretty much identical to the channel set stones on her engagement ring, with the diamonds set in the top half of the ring. Not sure were we are going to get it, but Excel has one that we will look at. We could always go to tiffany's I guess...........................nah.
