Question about LOGR setting

karee888 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,063 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/9/2008	Hi! My LOGR setting arrived today. I think it is ok. I'm not really sure what I should be looking for to see if it's one of the not-so-great ones. It sparkles and I don't think the diamonds look like frozen spit...:) I did have one question, though - should the stone be able to sit in the setting even with the prongs not bent yet? I just want to make sure the setting isn't too small. The pink tourmaline just sits on top of the prongs, not in the ring... Thanks in advance!!

What size stone is the setting made for, and what size is your stone (in mm). I've had stones that sit on top of the prongs, and they have fit in the setting with a good benchman. It depends. Do you have pictures of the setting with and without your stone in there? Which setting did you get?

karee888 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,063 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/9/2008	I'm actually not sure if I like how it looks. It feels like this setting needs something darker, like a purple stone.

cellentani Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,293 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/28/2008	Ooooh, another LOGR! I'm always interested in seeing people's pics of those settings, and yours is beautiful. The gram weight, by the way, is quite nice - not a light, flimsy piece. I think the stone will fit the setting, but it will probably sit a bit high - is that something you mind? Are the prongs attached to the inside or the top of the setting? If they're attached to the inside, you will not be able to fit as large a stone as if they were attached to the top - if that makes any sense. Basically, my only concern is that you won't be able to set the stone as low as you might like. I hope it works for you because I love the color combo exactly as it is. Please update us after you talk to your jeweler!!

LovingDiamonds Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,672 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 6/29/2008	Cellentani - I have the LOGR legacyesque setting and the prongs were set on the top (as these ones are) rather than the inside. I was also surprised at how far the stone dropped into the setting and I think this one will too - it looks quite deep.

I had it narrowed down to 2 stones, and I asked for advice on here, and this one was the winner! It's 2.56 carats in a Portuguese oval cut.

Kelli Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,579 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 5/27/2008	I got a very similar setting for the same size and shape stone and it didn't fit! I am pretty positive though, that my particular ring was made poorly AND that the jewelers I used are pretty much incompetent as far as pricescope standards go. I hope it will fit for you, because the setting and stone are GORGEOUS!!!
