I love that design! It actually looks like an UPDATED version of some of the u prong rings we see here... with a twist! I think putting fresh stones in that setting would do more than putting the stones in a different setting - or do both! Set low colored, H&A stones in the yellow and accentuate the color of the stones... and maybe set the ones you have in a pair of earrings or a pendant :)

Ditto, I would dip it and rock it! |

i like it too! i have a uprong, and i love how the light gets in and makes it sparkle. i agree with the idea of dipping!
If you want to wear it with your set now, however, I would definitely reset it. most jewelers have stock options that you can pick from and they base it on what size your stones are, so for you anything that fits stones that are .25, right? they should have lots to pick from. and you could proabably still get a u prong if you wanted one. I think it's beautiful! |

Junebug, although I wear mostly white gold now, I love that ring, and I love that it''s in yellow gold. It just has a richness and a luxuriousness that white gold doesn''t have. For some reason, if a ring is delicate and has pave, then I like it in white gold, but if it''s more substantial like yours, I love yellow gold. I also mix metals (but not on the same hand), and think you could definitely do the same.

Thanks to all for the nice comments on my ring, you are all so kind. It's good to know that it doesn't come across as dated...and even though I now favor antique/vintage designs, I have to admit I still like this setting! I gave the ring a good cleaning before I took pics, and those stones don't look too bad. You've all given me some food for thought, thank you for all the wonderful suggestions. I do like the idea of plating it, I think it will "blend" a little better with my current set, but Cellantani is right about the richness of the yellow gold, it IS pretty. Maybe I'll visit a few jewelers in the area and see if there are any settings out there that really speak to me. This is a fun dilemma to be in!

It is a very pretty ring. I love it''s unique scrolls!
As for being dated, all jewelry is dated. Some of the ring designs we see today will be dated 15 years from now. Many people may opt to update their settings to more current trends but some will treasure what they have and keep them just as they are. That''s the beauty of jewelry IMO - it is as personal as we want it to be. There are many styles to reset your ring into but keeping it just the way it is should be perfectly acceptable too. Thanks for sharing your pictures! |

It''s a beautiful ring, Junebug! It reminds me of a helix and the stones look very white and are a great size. I agree with Cehra -- I think keeping the setting in gold but replacing the diamonds with some warmer color diamonds or some gorgeous colored gems would be stunning. And I''d pull out the beautiful diamonds that are in there now and work with Brian Gavin or Wink Jones -- two vendors I can think of who will do custom designs with clients''s stones -- on a new project that has a vintage feel to it. You could do a wonderful new piece with those stones!! |

Love the idea of the shared-prong band! Although, I have to say, the ring looks great on you!! No reason to be self-conscious about it at all, in my opinion! It''s lovely!!! |

Thanks so much ladies! Your positive comments have made my day! Sara, I''m really liking the idea of colored stones in this setting, I think the contrast with the yellow gold would be really pretty. And the idea of a new setting that compliments my wedding set is appealing to me right now. Thanks for the names, I wasn''t sure which vendors would work with people who already have the diamonds, thanks for your help! |

I have an anniversary band purchased in 1991 from Helzbergs. It was just their stock diamonds, which the salesman told me they purchased in bulk. They had a couple of rings made up, so he louped them and sold me the one with the better stones.
Anyhow, I was in the store recently and the sales clerk was amazed at how nice the diamonds in my ring were. Apparently, their stock diamonds were a lot nicer in the early ''90s than they are today. I expect that is true of your ring as well. Enjoy it. I think it looks great as it is. |
