Setting to emphasize RB?

Gayletmom Cut Rock Total Posts: 348 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 11/29/2008	So I am considering settings for a major upgrade to my ering. I am blessed to be considering a RB around 3.5 cts and want to choose a setting that will emphasize my new rock. I tend toward classic settings and my favorite, at least in pictures, is something like the Tiffany Novo (just the side stones and the shape of the setting, not the center stone). Rather than pave, I am leaning toward small, round side stones, maybe prong set in a fairly narrow band. Do you guys think this is a good setting to highlight my RB? Are there any general guidelines for what maximizes the center stone? BTW, my ring size is about a 6.5 or 7. Thanks, in advance, for you advice and for all of the good info on this forum-it's really an incredible resource. Gayle

I think a simple Tiffany setting or pave band in a Tiffany setting would be gorgeous!! Here are some 2-3 carat size stones set; http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=31514 Skippy "The only things that stand between a person and what they want in life are the will to try it, and the faith to believe it's possible" Rich Devos

It is purely a personal preference, a rock of that size can easily take side stones or whatever else you want to do with it! If I was resetting mine which is a similar size, then I would consider something like Kristy's solitaire with pear sides, here is the link so you can see it as another option for you. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=44363 Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse.

I'm sure it is just gorgeous!

Gayletmom Cut Rock Total Posts: 348 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 11/29/2008	Thanks to all of you for the suggestions. We are all thinking along the same lines. One more question: when I see all of these in person, will the differences in the side stone settings be more apparent? For example, will I be able to distinguish a fishtail pave from a different pave? Sometimes it's hard to see the details in the photos. Gayle

Just look at how the metal is holding the stones in and the side profile view. It'll give you a pretty good idea.

Gayletmom Cut Rock Total Posts: 348 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 11/29/2008	That's what I was guessing. Not to mention that the process of looking at all of these different setting sure is fun! I took a look at the Henri Daussi rings-what beauties. I love all of these small designers. Today I found Amy Levine which is now M. Geller (maybe old news to some of you) and she has these unique 3 ring stacking bands that are really cool. Love that kind of thing! Gayle

diamondseeker2006 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 17,609 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 1/11/2006	With a stone that large, I really like the simple elegance of a plain solitaire the best. Then wear a diamond wedding band with it. Here is Harriet's 3.6 ct diamond set in a Leon Mege setting: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=68776&pageNo=6 (scroll down the page for several pictures..the pro picture is on the first page of the thread) I do think Lynn's rings are gorgeous, too! ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~
