nbreau Rough Rock Total Posts: 9 Last Post: 2/23/2009 Member Since: 11/23/2005	Just wondering which if the following two settings everyone prefers ? I was originally thinking of going with the following setting with pink saphires instead of the blue (attached s1.jpg) but then realized that the sides of the diamond arent exposed, so now I'm thinking i should go with somehting more simillar to the 2nd image (with pink saphires instead of the diamonds on the extremeties) what does everyone thing ?

WTNLVR Ideal Rock Total Posts: 623 Last Post: 1/9/2009 Member Since: 1/30/2005	I like the second one. It's very classic. I don't like the prongs on the first ring -they hide too much of the stones. JMHO Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles- it empties today of its strength.

The styles are pretty different. The first one is somewhat unusual - aparently the stones are 'floating' above the bezels underneath, but it is hard to guess exactly how much without a side photo. If set high I'd wonder if this is safe. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that the first style is close to the signature rings of a well known desigtner - Witney Boin.

monarch64 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 9,544 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 8/12/2005	I would like the first one if the prongs weren't there and all three stones were bezel set. Otherwise I would go with the second. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." Henry David Thoreau

fisiogrl Cut Rock Total Posts: 188 Last Post: 10/29/2008 Member Since: 1/6/2004	At first glance, I liked the first one - it is something different than we usually see. And it's nice to see different styles occasionally. But.... I think that I like number 2 better. Not a big fan of pink sapphires though, I'd pick something blue!

TanDogMom Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,918 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 11/8/2005	I agree w/ fisiogirl - I think all the pink is a trend and will get old - I prefer the blue myself! I like that 2nd setting much better, more traditional with very clean lines. Yeah, it;t not as unique, but years into the future, I could see #1 seeming dated but NOT #2. Who is the manufacturer?
