Memorie VS Signed Pieces Raphael

glamgirl Cut Rock Total Posts: 150 Last Post: 12/2/2005 Member Since: 9/14/2004	Can anyone tell me the difference between these two? Do the Memorie settings, have metal around each stone(like bezel)? I have tried to find pictures of the Memorie setting but am having a hard time. I have seen the Memorie setting, but not up close. From a distance it looks similar to the Raphael, but perhaps more metals around the stones??? I will be ordering MOST likely from Signed pieces this week, but wanted to compare the two first. Thanks!

I have heard Memoire makes their settings slightly different, a little more metal to keep the girdles of the shared prong diamonds from rubbing against each other.. ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

Bill will have to chime in on this and let us know the details. ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift

Matatora Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,230 Last Post: 7/26/2006 Member Since: 3/6/2005	No, I belive that is the setting, I am just wondering why everyone says it doesnt have the issues Dem had with her SP setting. She is the only who has reported those and BD is the only one who has the Memorie settting. Why is it that people say the Memorie setting is free from those issues? I wanted to know who said that first, and why. -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.

When we don't have a minimum of 35 pieces by a designer we put them into the Pearlman's Collection or Great Additions until they grow larger in the store. In many cases we just choose the best items from a collection of the designer. ---------------------- Bill Pearlman www.pearlmansjewelers.com

I wanted to know who said that first, and why. I'm not sure who said this but this is not a issue with the Memorie rings. They do NOT touch girdles. The bands fit between each stone and even squared off so the diamonds match up it is not possible to touch the diamonds. The rings are machined in Europe and fit as tight as any shared prong made. If someone can offer to take my emailed pictures I can show this to you. ---------------------- Bill Pearlman www.pearlmansjewelers.com

glamgirl Cut Rock Total Posts: 150 Last Post: 12/2/2005 Member Since: 9/14/2004	The Memorie band looks flatter, and more recessed from the side. The Raphael also looks like the diamonds sit up higher, but could it be just the "scalloped cut" setting which exposes more stone instead? GREAT close up shots of that Memorie. Thanks!

mrssalvo Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,856 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 1/3/2005	My guess would be that maybe the Memoire bands use a little more metal on the bottom that prevents the rings from touching at the top. the same way John Q explained why Lynn b's diamonds didn't touch. Obviously there is some difference as the Memoire settings don't have the problems and we know from Dem. that the SP's bands do/did, which is why they are working on correcting the design.. ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

Matatora Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,230 Last Post: 7/26/2006 Member Since: 3/6/2005	I am wondering if it has something to do with the size of the stones involved as well. I wrote to DeNatale and the would not say that the girdles do not rub on the Memorie setting or that they could ensure me that two rings would not damage each other. -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.
