More settings to consider...Help

mrssalvo Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,856 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 1/3/2005	Ok fellow Pricescopers, I need your help. As many of you know I have been all over the map with trying to choose a new setting for my upgrade. I thought I had made up my mind with the Ritani 3 stone but seeing all the gorgeous cushions around here i started thinking maybe a cushion is the new stone for me. My best friend has a 2 carat cushion in pave setting and it is absolutely stunning. Anyway, i started doing some searching for a couple of cushion settings that I like. Which do you prefer and why. and peebles and kaleigh, i know...i need to stay off pearlman's website..lol... #1 Daniel K split shank #2 Michael Beaudry cushion/halo #3 Michael B my first love ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

Demelza Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,850 Last Post: 12/12/2008 Member Since: 1/18/2004	I agree about the avatar -- such a cute pic. Okay, settings -- well, I don't like #2 much. Too busy and chunky, I think. For me, it would be between #1 and #3. It's a hard call. I think the Michael B looks more like a traditional engagement ring. And you could easily wear a band against it. Is that something you're planning to do? I guess I would lean towards the MB mainly because of its simplicity. But you can't go wrong with either. ETA You just answered my question. They're both so gorgeous. I don't know how you pick!

Demelza Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,850 Last Post: 12/12/2008 Member Since: 1/18/2004	Oh, I like the Daniel K you just added. I'm not super crazy about the split shank in #1. It doesn't look as delicate and I wonder if it wouldn't be as flattering to the stone (i.e. won't make it look as big).

snlee Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,449 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 10/6/2004	I vote for #3! I love the Michael B one. But I think it also depends on how the different settings look on your finger. I think some settings may not look good on me since my finger is small. Have you tried any of them on yet? How exciting! Is this upgrade in the near future? What are you going to do with you Quest setting?

FireGoddess Ideal Rock Total Posts: 12,145 Last Post: 3/23/2009 Member Since: 1/25/2005	If that prev. owned setting is full eternity, I don't think that can be sized. I've seen those 3 sided Michael B settings and I wouldn't want to be screwing around with those and resizing! I like #1 the best. There's something dainty and interesting about it. Love that split shank look.

Oh I dont know. I would ask Bill, he is very polite. I did not realize you had such delicate fingers, I have a size 6 so in my mind everyone else does. Perhaps you could ask Bill if he has anything like what you are looking for that might not have yet been posted. It cannot hurt to ask IMO. -Matatora Courage is the price that life extracts for granting peace Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

You could always have it custom made. Or, the one Matatora posted looks pretty similar!
