Ladies...Please help me decide

P: 1/19/2005 5:02:12 PM
pajj Rough Rock Total Posts: 17 Last Post: 2/20/2005 Member Since: 9/14/2004	I'm trying to decide on a setting for a round 1.76 carat, H color diamond I picked out. My girlfriend's ring size is approximately 5.25. I've attached some pictures, below, of the settings I am considering. Which setting would you pick? Your opinions are most appreciated. #1 - Scott Kay

pajj Rough Rock Total Posts: 17 Last Post: 2/20/2005 Member Since: 9/14/2004	Erin, There is a diamond on both sides of the two types of Scott Kay settings I posted. He calls it a "surprise diamond."

Outlander Rough Rock Total Posts: 23 Last Post: 1/20/2005 Member Since: 1/15/2005	I really like the style, but I am wondering where you would put the wedding band? I guess it would have to be custom made, so it wouldn't hide the diamond? Oh, but if it's a "surprise" diamond, then maybe it's supposed to be hidden by the wedding band!? Anyway, I still like it.

Cath Cut Rock Total Posts: 373 Last Post: 8/17/2005 Member Since: 9/29/2004	Wow, three stone setting vs. solitaire...a lot of this boils down to personal preference. Do you know if your girlfriend likes one over the other? Of the three stones, I like #1. Of the solitaires, I like #2. I am a solitaire kind of girl, so my personal favorite is #2 (love Teebee's ring!!)

NyssaLynne Cut Rock Total Posts: 353 Last Post: 7/3/2005 Member Since: 12/21/2004	I think #1 is your best choice for a small size finger. I also like the Scott Kay version with the channel set diamonds but I think it would be just too much for a finger that small. Doesn't SK make matching wedding bands for that style? Lynne~

valeria101 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,048 Last Post: 4/30/2006 Member Since: 8/29/2003	SK looks like a very high setting better suited to small diamonds. If the proportions remains the same for you stone, I bet that will be hovering 1cm or so above the finger and that's quite allot for any ring, let alone a small ring size. High settings are not the most confortable - some like them so, but one needs to really like the type to adjust. The others designs seem more likely to be easily adjusted to any size of stone and ring, IMO. Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

Libster Ideal Rock Total Posts: 998 Last Post: 9/18/2009 Member Since: 10/21/2004	I have a 3 stone that I personally love, but my center stone is much smaller than your stone. That said, you have a very large stone that can hold it's own and I can only imagine it would look amazing in a setting like Slammie's, which I LOVE Good luck and please post pics of your stone and your final choice, we'd love to see it ****************************** Diamonds.........Yield to Temptation!

qtiekiki Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,670 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 11/14/2004	I like all the settings... really depends on what your gurl likes. Things to add: I have a 3 stone ring with the center stone (1.25ct) larger and set higher than the sidestones (.25 ct ea). I feel like I get a mix between a 3 stone and a solitiare because the sidestones are relative small compare to the center stone and not taking away from it and yet it still have 3 stones. pic of my ering __________________________ "New Year's Eve is amateur night and resolutions are for fools." - Phil Jackson
