Need Opinion on Setting

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,314 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	I am in the process of looking for a square cut diamond and while waiting for the right one to jump up and bite me in the butt, I've decided to look for settings as well. I am looking for something simple and clean in 18k with a platinum head. Please share your opinions with me and any suggestions you might have. Thanks. Chrono.

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,314 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	Here is one of the two settings: It is a bypass with 4 prongs made to look sort of like the Boone's Helix lite tension Titanium ring although not as polished and lovely. I do like it for its simplicity and clean lines plus the unusual angled setting. The only problem with this is that I doubt it will sit flush with a wedding band and I also don't know if it is set low.

I would assume something like THIS would stretch the notion a bit, right? And the good old essentials are always on the line, I suppose. Is there a particular model you have in mind?

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,314 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	Val, I was looking for a thinner band. While those you posted are lovely, it will make my short and small hands look even stubbier (which isn't a pretty sight) My second choice is this: http://www.stuller.com/public/product.aspx?prodGrpID=f5ad7c01-4d85-46d7-a339-e6687ce50155&categoryID=77574371-8529-499d-ac7d-6dc1876021d2 I tried to paste a picture but am having problems with it. Any other suggestions?

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,314 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	I managed to attach a picture of the second one: It is split at the shoulders and again oriented in a slightly different way than the usual. Will this fit a square cut stone? It appears to sit reasonably low too. As you can tell, I like delicate looking settings that are a little different from the norm. Please share your ideas with me. I promise to think about it with an open mind. Thanks Chrono

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,314 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	Matata, That is a beautiful setting. Which website is it from? I noted that it is a custom setting. Do you have more information on it? You can PM me if you like.
