Lower stone setting ideas needed!

brum Rough Rock Total Posts: 63 Last Post: 3/23/2006 Member Since: 1/6/2006	Hi all, Need som help on this one. Going for a custom made half paved ring with a 0.6-0.7 centre round H&A. My lady has tiny fingers (internal diameter of ring will be 14-15mm), yet long slender hands. I really don't like the high stone settings and wonder what other clasp/claw designs may hold the stone lower? Basically I want the whole thing to look nice and petite. I've had a good look through many of the threads, but for obvious reasons, many photos are face up thus not detailing the clasp/claw design. Can anyone kindly help? I've already commisioned the jeweler, so need to more relatively quick on this one! Cheers

Make sure they do a wax that you can see before they cast the ring, that will help give you a good idea on how it would look. Tell him/her you want a low setting but keep in mind if you want a wedding band to sit flush it will have to be high enough to allow for this.. ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

MrsSalvo-For sure i'll be discussing it with him, but its always good to have as many opinions and options as possible. This way I can continue to work on the idea whilst away from the jeweler. He'll be working on the band, and I hope to keep one step ahead!

brum Rough Rock Total Posts: 63 Last Post: 3/23/2006 Member Since: 1/6/2006	You know this whole thing can become an obsession if one is not careful. If Im not working, Im rooted on this bling-ring-thing. Since first posting this thread, Ive learnt that what I want is actually a shared prong design, but I now dont know weather to go for full band, half band or maybe even less as some ladies on the forum mention that this design can scratch a little. Ive also noticed that the difference between an internal diameter of 14 to 15 mm is a whopping 1 ź on the US incremental scale! When I sit down and actually plot the dimensions of my lilladies possible ring sizes, along with the diamond dimensions, on paper, I think I need a micro-atomic-insect technician to produce such a ring. Can such a detailed band be made for such a lilfinger? Yes I will be having all this out with my unfortunate jeweler, but I dearly value all your impartial advice, enthusiasts and professionals alike. Help!

Well, jewelry needs allot of detail on a very small scale - and it is a bit of surprise to learn that 1degree angles and fractions of a millimeter count if your work (like mine) doesn't deal with small scale objects. Funny that! On Pricescope you may find measurements of jewelry parts (e.g. ring band widths down to half a milimeter, size of diamonds for pave) that are rarely ever talked about in a store based on 'what you see is what you get). I wear rings like that. It isn't too unusual... which doesn't prevent that I get colleagues staring at my rings when they happen to be off the hand, taking them on the tip of the finger to marvel ' does this fit on your hand'? Funny that. The size of rings does have some effect on design - but not on the simple, classic styles of engagement rings. You shouldn't have to worry about that - the jeweler will Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]
