Can somebody repost sna77''s ring pics (WF vs SC tiffany replica)

The pics were probably hosted from another site, and are expired now. No way to repost.

I did a search, here''s some others.


WF Tiffany style owned by solange.






And her thread.



Superbcert tiffany style, owned by Demelza.




And her thread.

HTH!

Sna77''s ring is here on page 6 toward the bottom http://www.pricescope.com/forum/hangout/let-s-put-some-faces-with-rings-t59828-150.html

Thanks Skippers. Good thing you remembered those were in there, you have too good a memory.

Not fair.

Mmmm..... I have to say, the superbcert ring is certainly lovely, but I adore the WF tiffany style. I love the way it "cups" the diamond, if you know what I mean -- it almost reminds me of a flower that's opening up.

That is a 4.1!!! carat rock in that whiteflash setting which is the reason why I think it looks like a flower opening up.  I am not sure how big the diamond is in the superbcert setting, but it has got to be smaller.

That is kind of the reason why I wanted to see sna77''s pics because he had the same diamond in both the settings. 

Thanks skippy123 for the sna77 pic. I think the diamond is in the superbcert setting on that one.  Now I just have to find a pic where the diamond was still in the whiteflash setting.

I understand what you''re saying; the larger stone size might contribute to the appearance of the setting "opening up" -- but I think that there are fundamental differences between the superbcert and WF setting. Even the WF setting holding smaller diamonds tends to look more like the setting is "cupping" the stone. For an example, see the picture that I posted from Jenn5504''s setting below, which only holds a 1.6 carat diamond. In my opinion, the superbcert setting always looks a bit too straight for me, despite the diamond''s size. This said, if you go with a smaller stone (.5 carat or so) this might affect the look more significantly. What size stone are you thinking of?

One issue is that WF has changed that setting since Solange got hers anyway. The new Classic Tiffany knife edge is more like the real Tiffany than the old version was.  I would have mixed feelings about which to choose. I think there is always more safety in choosing a PS vendor because they care about their reputation on here. But that guy obviously liked the SC setting better, although he probably also got the old version of the WF setting.

Here's some better shots taken by WF of my ring which is the newer WF classic tiffany style knife edge.  I think the modifications they have made to this setting really do look a LOT more like the original tiffany setting and my favorite part of it is how the head "cups" the diamond more and looks flower-ish.   I have been very happy with my experience with WF and would recommend them and this setting to anyone.
ETA: I can't wait to hopefully have a bigger stone in this setting one day!  I think it would accomodate a 2 - 2.5 ct perfectly!

Jenn -

I don''t mean to hijack, but I was still a lurker when you got your ring. I just wanted to say how much I adore it!

And I agree, a 2+ carat would be to die for in that setting!!

Thanks, didn''t know that.

Foureyes, thank you.......always so nice to receive compliments on my ring.  I REALLY REALLY thing this setting NEEDS a 2ct+.   I really did choose my eternity ring size based on my wishful thinking that maybe some day I''ll get a bigger stone.

Here is my SC replica with a 2.1ct

Here''s my friend''s WF replica, also 2.1ct. This was before WF''s recently modifications.
I don''t think you can go wrong with either replica.
