Help me reset my 2ct OEC

Burk Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,256 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 5/9/2006	I am looking for ideas for a new setting for my OEC. While I love the setting it is in now, I just don''t feel like my OEC is the "Star of the show." So, when my setting sells, I have the go ahead from DH to get something new. I want something that looks vintage. Let me know of any ideas you have and post pics!! First, a pic of the current setting....

kbarro1 Cut Rock Total Posts: 120 Last Post: 8/9/2009 Member Since: 3/23/2008	Have you thought about doing something that is Legacy inspired??? I am in the process now of having one made and was heavily inspired by Dan at Stone Oak Jewelers in Texas. Now, I will say that he is VERY blunt and sometimes seems to be a little unpleasant, but if you can forgo that, you will get a specatcular piece of work. Here is the thread with gardnerranch's Tiffany Legacy inspired ring that is AMAZING! Also, you can check out his website at www.stoneoakjewelers.com. Good Luck! http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=80010

EMPTorres Cut Rock Total Posts: 257 Last Post: 8/18/2009 Member Since: 4/19/2007	How about something like "diamondnut's" ring? Her set is amazing, your OEC would really stop traffic. Plus then you can wear your other bands stacked with it. Diamondnut I hope you don't mind me posting your set.

SanDiegoLady Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,204 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 7/6/2005	That's funny.. I was thinking if I ever got an OEC of significant size, I'd have MM set it in his flame setting. Gosh I just love those little heart prongs. lol

pixley Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,534 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 11/12/2007	Your stone is beautiful! I just adore the settings from Singlestone, esp. the ones with diamonds all down the shank. I don't think I've ever seen them do a setting that wasn't absolutely incredible. I also like the other trio you posted as "ericasettingcopy", but I don't know if I'd go with that much volume in the basket - just a personal preference for a little more visible pavilion action. It's lovely. Is there a link to that ring? I the WB.

I love the Singlestone setting that you put in the bottom row, left side, also.

surfgirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,438 Last Post: 5/19/2009 Member Since: 4/5/2007	Do you want a vintage or repro setting or any setting so long as you love it? You've only shown vintage style settings so I'm thinking its the former, yes? SS has great settings and so many types, if you can get to them that's the best plan as you can see them in person. If you want simplicity, check out facetfire's setting...it's contemporary but looks incredible with an OEC.

Burk Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,256 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 5/9/2006	Thanks everyone for your responses!!! Ari emailed me back with prices and more pics of all the Singlestone settings. I will post some of his pics tomorrow (I'm not a big fan of my home computer so I'll do it from work) for anyone interested....they are all fantastic!!! As for the setting I said my jeweler would have to create: the person whom the setting belonged to had it custom made. She had issues with workmanship of the setting and ending up taking it back. She provided me with the pics and would be able to get me more pics, should I got that route, so that my jeweler had those to work from... I LOVE Diamondnuts setting (sonomacountry I believe it's from Leon) and I think going to Leon or the setting similar to it from Singlestone are the frontrunners right now. I am still trying to sell my current setting before DH will let me start this project so I have time for lots of research!!

Burk Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,256 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 5/9/2006	Surfgirl~We must have posted at the same time. I'm actually up for anything. If I could find something that was truely vintage that would be awesome but probably my best bet is going to be a repro...Sad thing is there is no chance of my going to SS in person as I live in Nebraska!! By the way, I LOVE your ring!!!

Very pretty, I like! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
