Decided on a setting...

Diamond_Virgin Rough Rock Total Posts: 73 Last Post: 12/21/2005 Member Since: 11/30/2005	First off, thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who gave their opinion and offered suggestions in my other thread (http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=36854) Second, as I'm sure you're all aware by now I've decided on a diamond from Whiteflash: http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-1948527.htm# 0.795 cts Color: J Clarity: SI1 Third, against my better judgment, and the advice of many knowledgeable people here, I've decided to go with the Royal Crown setting by Vatche. I know this may surprise some of you, as in my past thread I had pretty much decided on the Sleek Lines setting by Le. However, for some reason that I can't really explain the Royal Crown setting just speaks to me in a way that the Sleek Lines does not. I only hope that the ring speaks to my girlfriend in the same way Anyway, this poses a problem since Whiteflash no longer carries the Vatche line, so I'm shopping around with some other Pricescope vendor in order to find a setting. I have a very promising lead, and I'll let you all know what I find out tomorrow. Thanks again for the unwavering support and advice, Eban

I wonder if it's partly because everyone else does (looked to me sort of like Vatche had become commoditized with the internet vendors); partly because margins, delivery time, quality control, ... are better with what they offer now. Not that I'm suggesting a problem with any of these.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,922 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	also re the settings, it seems like WF is also carrying their own line of styles that have some vatche-like qualities so possibly they wanted to do their own thing or have more leeway with custom, rather than carry a designer? ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Diamond_Virgin Rough Rock Total Posts: 73 Last Post: 12/21/2005 Member Since: 11/30/2005	Just a quick update: I purchased the RC setting from Wink and they're going to mail it to me so that I can make sure I like the setting before I have it set with the diamond. I'm so excited! Thanks everyone, Eban

Diamond_Virgin Rough Rock Total Posts: 73 Last Post: 12/21/2005 Member Since: 11/30/2005	My RC setting from Wink arrived today, and it's gorgeous! The band is not at all to thick, which I was worried about (in fact, it seems very delicate to me). I'll post pictures tomorrow morning when I have the apartment to myself Cheers, Eban

Diamond_Virgin Rough Rock Total Posts: 73 Last Post: 12/21/2005 Member Since: 11/30/2005	And for all those wondering, yes I have very slender fingers for a man Of course there will be more pictures once the ring is set, so don't you worry. Now of course, since I'm the wishy-washy person (Charlie Brown anyone?) that I am, I'm having second thoughts about the diamond I chose. I was going to go with this stone: AGS-6633803 http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-1948527.htm# 0.795 cts Color: J Clarity: SI1 HCS: EX-EX-EX-VG But that inclusion right in the middle bothers me. I can see it with the naked eye in the 40x magnified photo that they have the on WF website, but Lesley assures me that by their definition the stone is eye clean. Now I believe that their definition is "10 inches away, face up," so that's good, but I'm concerned about getting closer to the ring, or looking at it from different angles. Lesley suggested that if I want peace of mind I should just go with my second (very close second) choice diamond: AGS-6633802 http://whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-1948526.htm# 0.768 cts Color: J Clarity: VS2 HCS: EX-EX-EX-EX When you look at the measurements of the first stone (5.96-5.98X3.63) compared to the measurements of the second one (5.95-5.97X3.59), it's really not that much smaller. So anyway, I may switch, we shall see. Thanks for all the help thus far! Eban
