I am 100% sure that I want to bezel so here are the three contender. the bezel will be white gold with yellow gold shank (although I'm 50% not sure really )

dreamer_dachsie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,579 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 12/16/2007	I like option 1. Are you planning to use the Adwar models? If so then you are limited to the carat weights in which they make each particular design. Not sure if those models come with a 1.2ct center? Or in the gold combos you want? If you would go custom them obviously the sky is the limit. * Dreamer *

You're doing a full bezel for all three stones, correct? ditto. i'm all about option 3 too. love it! i think it looks like a more elegant setting. will sit lower, too, i think, which looks fabulous on three-stones. good luck on this D&T! :) whitby (AKA 'cake lady being attacked by a dog')

geckodani Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,181 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 6/25/2008	Hmmm. I like the profile on the first one, but I think the 3rd would be better for everyday wear. Run turkey, RUN! (Little man in the avatar is my nephew.)

Sundial Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,590 Last Post: 7/14/2009 Member Since: 3/14/2005	The first one is very fluid and pretty from the side, but I like the third option the best. It isn't that impressive with no stones in it, but when you showed the picture that includes the diamonds it is just gorgeous!

MrsDoubleP Cut Rock Total Posts: 103 Last Post: 6/12/2009 Member Since: 4/25/2009	I like option 1 the best because more of the diamonds will be visible from the side. I like to see as much icy goodness as possible! Whatever you choose, it'll be gorgeous!

Rose-E Cut Rock Total Posts: 197 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 3/30/2009	I choose #3. I think it's the most secure, really, although I really like the way the other two would show off the entire diamond profile. I had a 2 stone ruby set something like 1 and 2 and I lost a ruby shortly after (I'm sure it ahs to do with the jeweler though). It was sad because the pair were my mother's earings she wore for her wedding. "Do what you like, like what you do" - Life is good

I had a ring just like this with colored stones and i LOVED it - it was just so easy to wear and fluid.

Let me see if after work today i can find it - the stones are iolite, and i used to get so many compliments on it. If i can find it, i'll take some photos for you this evening :) EDIT: I Found it, and am charging up my camera battery as we speak :) See you tonight with photos.

violet3 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,798 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/18/2007	OK, i am back and i've taken some photos...i feel a little silly posting them in this section of all the beautiful, expensive rings. This is by no means a "good" piece of jewelry....it's sterling silver with iolite stones and old (i think i've had it for 12 years or so) and thus scratched up But, having worn this ring for a number of years, i think this is why i am inclined to like the first two settings rather than the basket setting #3. So, i have a couple that should show you the setting - clearly not as refined as those you are looking at, but nonetheless...

But i have to say, i love the idea of the three semi bezels with the diamonds - it's beautiful!
