MissMandie Rough Rock Total Posts: 28 Last Post: 8/4/2009 Member Since: 10/17/2008	Has anyone seen a diamond ring that has a plain band (i.e. no diamonds) but with pave diamonds on the prongs and perhaps the basket as well? Fiance likes plain and traditional, i was something unique. I'm trying to find a compromise! Any photos of anything similar to this would be greatly appreciated!

I also really like the third...very unexpected, again, to see the diamonds in the X-prong. Purty!! ~ * ~ Found my Rock of Love!!

For example, this awesome MWM:

MissMandie Rough Rock Total Posts: 28 Last Post: 8/4/2009 Member Since: 10/17/2008	Hey musey, Thanks for the suggestion. Love that ring, in fact my sister's engagement ring is exactly like it. My only problem is that hubby only likes the traditional style rings, and hates anything that's not symmetrical (go figure!). So I'm trying to find something that shows a bit of me (crazy) and him (traditional). I don't like halos or pave on the band (particularly as wedding band will be pave and I personally think two pave bands is too bling for me). I think the idea of diamond prongs is a genious compromise!!

In general, I really like the type of thing you're going for and cannot wait to see pics of the final product when you get it.

mcseeinred Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 3/18/2009 Member Since: 10/7/2008	Miss Mandie - check out the Reale collection by Varna (www.varna.com). I was on a very similar search to yours and their Contessa setting was by far my hands-down favorite! It is a pricey setting, but it's very delicate and unique. Their website also shows who carries their designs, so if you like something you see online you'll be able to find out where to go to see it in person. Good luck with your search, and i think it's great that you're trying to find a compromise that makes you both happy! MCl

MissMandie Rough Rock Total Posts: 28 Last Post: 8/4/2009 Member Since: 10/17/2008	Mcseeinred, thank you. I love the Contessa! The side view is amazing. Not so sure about the square claws or the side stones though. But its beautiful!

It's going to be on your hand, not his...I guess I'm not understanding why you have to compromise (in design, not budget) on getting what could be something you have on your hand for the rest of your life. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that you are trying to find something you both will like. But would it be the end of the world if you wear a ring that's completely your style instead of his?

MissMandie Rough Rock Total Posts: 28 Last Post: 8/4/2009 Member Since: 10/17/2008	Hi DentD your post brings up the thoughts I initially had, though I've come to understand MrMandie's point of view. He wants to give me a ring that represents his love for me. He doesn't see it as something that is mine entirely (and I agree) that it is a symbol of commitment that we share. Plus, I know i wouldnt get anybody a gift that I myself didn't like as well. Though I have mentioned that its a compromise, I didn't mean compromise in the way that none of us get what we want, but we meet half way. I think what I meant to say was its more of a merging of both our tastes. The end result will ultimately be something that I love, particularly because its got a bit of me and him in it. To be honest, I do like the traditional rings, but because they can be a tad boring/plain/generic in my point of view, I want to jazz up the traditional style with a bit of individuality and some extra bling! It wouldnt be the end of the world if he didnt like it (i'm sure he'd soon get over it, or grow to love it), but I'd prefer to create/find something that we both love. To be honest, I've got such a wide variety of styles that I love in my inspiration folder that if he didn't have any input in the design I'd never be able to choose!

jet2ks Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,581 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 2/4/2009	MissMandie, as a part of the male half, I appreciate your perspective. We men do understand that the woman will be wearing this ring for the rest of her life, so it should be something she likes, but it also represents our commitment and love, and as such, should reflect some of our personality as well. It sounds like you are on the right track, and you WILL find a design that represents your unique combination as a couple. Any of my opinions are worth exactly what you paid for them. "The U. S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself." Benjamin Franklin
