Tibbs Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 4/30/2005 Member Since: 4/20/2005	Attached are some pictures I just received of the e-ring for my girlfriend from the good folks at GOG. I have posted a little (under another, undisclosed name) on this forum but I have taken quite a bit more from it. I have learned a great deal of information from this site and from the people on this forum that has greatly helped in my search for something that will be a part of the rest of my life. So, in return, I would like to share a little bit of the product of quite a bit of decision making, searching, and a big bundle of nerves. 1.31 ct / VS1 / I / ExEx - Ingwer Setting

Sparkster Ideal Rock Total Posts: 582 Last Post: 4/11/2008 Member Since: 6/1/2004	OMG - it's beautiful. Just one question - I always thought that a single row of diamonds was known as channel setting and not pave. _______________________ << Everyday is a gift, which is why we call today "the present" >>

Platinumsmith Ideal Rock Total Posts: 667 Last Post: 9/22/2005 Member Since: 11/26/2004	Thats a lovely ring. Good job too. Pave' means path and it decribes a row of bead/grain set stones. Channel describes the setting edge being a channel - or two walls of metal. The setting here is a hybred of claw/prong setting and grain/bead setting.

Tibbs Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 4/30/2005 Member Since: 4/20/2005	So, I suppose I'll write a little bit about my search while I am waiting for UPS to show up with it! It's 10:13 AM ...17 more minutes or it's late!!! So, I began the process around new years at which point I knew absolutely NOTHING about diamonds. I had heard of the 4 c's but didn't really know what they meant, let alone different cuts, cut quality, ideality, etc, etc. So I buckled down and began my research. After about 2 weeks of looking at various sites on the web I stumbled upon PS and thank goodness! I REALLY loved the forums where you could get people's personal experiences about dealing with different companies and their hardships with finding a good, reputable, source for quality diamonds on the internet. I was impressed with Good Old Gold's (GOG) track record here on PS and from their website they seemed to carry top-notch diamonds at great prices. I wasn't a huge fan of their setting selection, but then again I am not a fan of many settings I see in general, but through Ingwer I was able to find exactly what I wanted. I am sure GOG could have done some sourcing for me if I wanted another setting but that wasn't necessary. Anyway, the diamond was something they had in stock so all I had to really wait for was for them to receive the setting. I was greatly impressed by and have heard great things about their H&A cushion collection (my gf has her heart set on a cushion). The pricing is a bit higher than a "normal" cushion with the same certification stats but I believe that the cut is far superior to what one would typically get from ordering a cushion from another source, hence the price premium. The cut, from what the folks at GOG have told me and from what I have learned elsewhere, put these diamonds in a class of their own, despite their "lower" color values from what I was originally looking for (D-F). So, now I just wait...10 more minutes! Gah! Hurry up already!
