Once you've narrowed down some setting ideas we can help you select the lowest one or suggest some for you if you let us know what you want.

She decided on a solitaire (she wants a larger single stone so she has more flexibility in the future). We still like the pave -- but no more than 3 stones on each side. More than likely, I'd like 2 of them to be sapphires with a diamond in the middle. She also decided on white gold...and we both still like princess cut. Thoughts?

JulieN Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,150 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 7/25/2005	Like this, but with sapphires? http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/settings-with-sidestones/ring/item_58-1935_design.asp?module=setting Anyway, most women say they want low settings because they don't want HIGH settings, but what most women actually want is a medium-low setting. If this is the case (she wants medium-low, not low) then you are not to worry about finding a specifically low setting, since almost all can be set at a medium-low level.

Thanks, I'm on bedrest (pregnant with twin boys) so I do find my way here pretty often! Pave? Or channel set? Or bead set? I ask because usually pave goes all the way down the band and pave stones are usually really small...Do you have a picture of exactly how you like the stones on the band (even if they are all diamonds)?

BNole Rough Rock Total Posts: 36 Last Post: 2/1/2009 Member Since: 5/31/2008	I don't -- that's what I'm trying to find. I do not like how the band on the image Julie posted slims down. If it stayed the same width, that'd be more like it (and with princess cuts).

And if you want the small stones to be princesses you aren't talking about pave.

And Ritani will customize too so you could more than likely have them use some sapphires on the sides instead. AND it's really low set to boot: http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/ritani-jewelry/rings/52QQ1/

BNole Rough Rock Total Posts: 36 Last Post: 2/1/2009 Member Since: 5/31/2008	So, we're looking at these together (not together, but at the same time) and she likes how the second one is low. But, she likes the looks of this one at whiteflash. Is there any way to make this one sit lower? She also doesn't want 6 diamonds in the channel...but I assume that is easy enough to deal with... http://www.whiteflash.com/Engagement-Rings/Styles/Diamond-Settings/Rounded-Open-Cathedral-Engagement-Ring_1352.htm#

You might have to go custom for that if you want that exact ring but only 3 stones on each side. But that's easy enough to do and Whiteflash does great custom work. I'd just give them a call for a quote.

BNole Rough Rock Total Posts: 36 Last Post: 2/1/2009 Member Since: 5/31/2008	I have spoken with Lesley from WF and custom is one of my options. However, an identical ring from bluenile is much cheaper. I'd be missing out on a few changes (like sapphires). Is bluenile reputable...or are there other "non-custom" recommendations?

Bluenile is reputable, but their customer service is spotty and diamonds are hard to buy there because they don't give you a lot of info. This goes double for princess stones. I'd contact Good Old Gold, Winfield's Jewelers, and Pearlman's before buying from Bluenile personally...I am sure if BN has one there is one out there for you...
