Split shank settings

hoofbeats95 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 891 Last Post: 10/8/2009 Member Since: 11/23/2008	So I've decided that the most important aspect of the ring I'd like to create is that it have split shank setting. From there I will search for a stone I suppose. Not sure if this is backwards? I was hoping some of you could post some split shanks settings or websites for good options. I'm having a hard time digging up setting options. Especially hard finding websites that list the prices. I've read a bit on here about ebay options, but I was hoping for some regular vendor options. The shape of the center stone isn't important. I will know the setting when I see it. :) There's a LOGR setting that I love but I'm a bit nervous about going that route, so I want to explore some other options. Thanks!

CharmyPoo Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,574 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 12/10/2004	I replied to your post on my thread yesterday but it didn't go through and I was too lazy to re-write. I love that setting I received from eBay. It is so delicate and the workmanship is wonderful (better than the auction photo). I much prefer it to my e-ring - I am actually going to use that setting to show the jeweler what I want my ering to be like. The gold seems a little light but it is acceptable. The diamonds are so sparkly and white! She had the setting custom made because my fingers were so small - I am not sure if that resulted in better quality. I have no regrets buying it. What is the approximate budget for your setting? That will help us narrow it down.

hoofbeats95 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 891 Last Post: 10/8/2009 Member Since: 11/23/2008	Catmom - I love the 2nd one you posted. I'm off to see if I can find the site. I don't have a preference for side diamonds. Most of the settings I have seen have them. I haven't really seen any without. I don't have to have a halo though. That doesn't matter to me. I have a pave ring that I bought before I found PS. Haven't had any probs with it. So I guess I'm ok with Pave. If I go with sides stones I want them to be sparkly of course. No "frozen spit" as you all put it. :) I like the setting CharmyPoo just got: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=103277 I like the setting Mochi got: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=103549 And I like the looks of this thought I agree that Mochi's is better. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=104183 I don't know the price range yet. I'd like to find a stone for not more than a few hundred bucks. Mostly since this is my first project. So I'm thinking learning curve here. I don't want my setting to be crazy expensive to hold a stone of that price. Does that make sense? But I also like quality stuff, so I will pay for known quality. I hope I'm not doing this backwards. Should I be getting the stone first? Yikes.

brendaman Cut Rock Total Posts: 178 Last Post: 8/18/2009 Member Since: 11/7/2008	My e-ring will probably be a split shank, so I've been collecting samples. 1. Here's my favorite from Leon: I think it was Harriet's. 2. From Dimend Scaasi which Cushioncutnut has. 3. Inanna's beauty. 4. A Mark Patterson ring, which is similar to one Kwiat carries.

They might be able to source a stone for you as well. Brian is a nice guy. Michelle *****************************So many sparklies.....So little time!
