deggles Rough Rock Total Posts: 47 Last Post: 4/10/2005 Member Since: 1/11/2005	Hello, I'm soliciting personal opinions. I have a 1.11 ct round H&A stone and am looking for a setting that is simple and elegant, but still personal and unique. If it were you, which of the following three plantinum settings do you like the most? Thanks for the help...

deggles Rough Rock Total Posts: 47 Last Post: 4/10/2005 Member Since: 1/11/2005	The tulip setting is custom made, but I'm a little unsure because the custom-made setting doesn't look like it has as much luster. Is this common with custom-made settings, that they don't have as much luster? Thanks, Deggles

valeria101 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,048 Last Post: 4/30/2006 Member Since: 8/29/2003	You can have any setting polished as much as you wish... Sometimes even platinum gets rhodium platin (the super shiny, light color plating of silver and white gold jewelry). Platinum gets a patina relatively quicky though. Rings do not stay "mirror polished" for good. True enough, satin finished or matte metal is more often used in designer jewelry - but that is by choice, not technical constraint. I suspect Ritani is way more expensive than the setting at DiamondsByLauren, no ? There are a couple of solitaire types I thought you might want to take a look at.

Kamuelamom Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,808 Last Post: 10/20/2006 Member Since: 4/18/2003	Hi deggles and welcome to pricescope! My vote is either number 1 or number 3. Something about the 3rd one looks real feminine. Is #1 a surprise diamond setting? Can't really tell from the picture but if it is, I like that look too.

deggles Rough Rock Total Posts: 47 Last Post: 4/10/2005 Member Since: 1/11/2005	Thanks for the other recommendations! I really like the second one down all the way on the left with the bezel set diamond in the side. Where can I find that? BTW, the Diamonds by Lauren tulipset was around $750 while the others were over $1000. Thanks again!

rms Ideal Rock Total Posts: 914 Last Post: 8/13/2009 Member Since: 6/16/2004	I'm going to vote for the first one (top left) and its bold simplicity. The other 2 look unique indeed, but to me they look unusual. Rita

Lord Summerisle Ideal Rock Total Posts: 859 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 12/14/2004	#1 or #3 look good... seem to show off the stone better... #2 looks a little more squat to my eyes... i think the difference in 'luster' between 1 and 3 could be more down to the lighting conditions than the differences in polish finish... #3 is highly polished, you can see the reflection of someone in the ring while the first 2 seem to be taken in matt white. they would probly look the same as #3 in the same real world conditions _____________________ I Post Therefore I Am I am no Expert (I'm not a drip under pressure ;) ) Seek Someone who is for better info

njc Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,997 Last Post: 4/10/2009 Member Since: 9/10/2004	I like the tulip-like setting (#3 of original choices). Its very unique. Also like the surprise diamond setting with the double prongs and the 6 prong ring (such a nice profile) that Valeria posted. IMO, i love rounds and 6 prong settings... they keep their round look versus the square look they can get from 4 prongs. And 1.11 is a good size for a 6 prong.
