 		Hi to you all...I've been hanging around awhile gathering up the gumption to make a decision....and...have finally found  "the one"  from GOG.  It will be a 1.298, VVS2, H, H&A with high white light, and very highs on colored light and scintillation on the brilliancescope ( and I am absolutely thrilled.) The ring I am replacing is a 3-stone platinum trellis (custom) and to tell you the truth, I'm not crazy about it.  I look at the mountings into the wee hours of the night and am getting nowhere.  Then I thought, why not ask around on the forum?  I bet you can offer some suggestions that might help me.  I want a setting that will stand the test of time.  Some B&M jewelers have said, "Oh, honey, you HAVE to go platinum....a diamond always looks best in platinum."  Also, I'm  a babyboomer (AKA not thirty-something) and I may be wearing this one awhile..so if I end up wearing this 20 years from now, I want it to  look appropriate on my finger when I'm even more not thirty-something!  I really think I am leaning towards a rather plain solitaire with maybe an eternity band..something very narrow, though.  I see lots of "tiffany" style mountings, but don't want to end up with one that is flimsy/not well made.    Am looking at Vatche pictures..are they well-made?  Well, I've rambled enough.  Just my excitement showing, I guess.  Anyway, have more that enjoyed reading your posts and seeing your pretties....any suggestions?

 		I am far from biased on this subject ;)

I say go with a simple solitaire, 6prong, platinum tiffany style and go for the gusto with the eternity wedding band, like 5 pointers or something.

Soundslike your diamond is gorgeous.
