Oh, and picking up the old idea about 'tension' settings for huge diamonds... I could not believe the price of this piece!

I love K-L diamonds set in platinum or white gold. It has an antique look. The problem is that I still didn't find a setting because I don't like bezel settings, and that's the only kind of settings that you find for men. Thank you Jonathan! Stephan

valeria101 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,048 Last Post: 4/30/2006 Member Since: 8/29/2003	Settings settings... The one I posted is 18k, it is not a tension setting (see the bridge?) and goes for ~$400. The series (or maker?) is called "Eurotrend". I surely like Garry's supra-minimalist design. Once could only imagine a 4-5mm pegging a 8-9mm diameter stone to the finger. It brings Garry's "suspension" design to mind, and that is one great, rarely seen recipe. There is one thing I don't get about that feat of Oz wizardry: how long would that exposed girdle last ? For example, the 18k bezel setting I wear most often has acquired a fair number of scratches and marks from my rather unthreatening academic activities. It now has a nice rough patina. The bezel goes where the naked girdle in the tension setting is... Same goes for the surface of the much harder sapphire cab in that setting: it does not look frosted, but that's no "mirror polish" anymore either. Facet meets on sapphire's crown wear even worse: would a diamond's girdle suffer any of that? Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

pqcollectibles Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,441 Last Post: 6/18/2005 Member Since: 2/23/2003	That will have an interesting look, Stephan. Your diamond in white metal. I can't wait to see the pics of the stone and the ring, when you find your dream setting. Agreed! Most men's rings are bezel set for larger diamonds, unless you go Tension or design one yourself. I really like the half bezel set because it's smooth. No prongs to snag on things or lint fuzzies sticking outa the diamond all the time. Why use a big word when a diminutive word would be succinct! ____________________________________________________________ Just a regular person trying to be helpful. Consult a Pro prior to purchase!

Griffin Cut Rock Total Posts: 239 Last Post: 3/20/2004 Member Since: 12/30/2003	I'm with you Valeria, I would worry about the girdle on that ring, too! It is really beautiful but I would be too scared to wear it... I liked the pressure set mounting you posted earlier. Not quite as striking, but practical. The protected girdle and the bridge underneath the stone makes a lot of sense. Too bad they hollowed out the back, but you can't argue the price. Where did you find it?

Rhino Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,865 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 3/29/2001	How cool!!! A men's ring eh? I've worn a K color super ideal for the longest time in a "claw setting" otherwise or also known as a gypsy setting. We've recently scanned in all the mens rings available from the Ingwer catalogue so if you'd like to see some masculine rings for solitaires let me know and I'll forward you the link.
