I've just recently begun seriously looking at rings. My initial feelings on solitaires is that they are ordinary; I want something special, that doesn't look like most other engagement rings. Paul, the man I adore, loves the simplicity of a solitaire. As do I. However, I have considered a bezel setting, but haven't found a delicate, narrow band to go with bezeling that appeals to me. So now I'm wondering if there is a specific term used for a solitaire with prongs that sits low and isn't raised up so high. Can anyone help us? Thanks!

Jen, Have you thought about having a bezel custom made? Whiteflash makes gorgeous custom pieces and I'm sure your dream ring could become a reality in no time! If your boyfriend wanted some element of "surprise", you could let him pick the diamond, tell him you want a bezel and slip your ideal ring's measurements to Bob or Lesley.  My solitare is in a basket setting, which is pretty low. I don't like the "high" solitaires either, so I researched and found that a basket was perfect for me! I do love a gorgeous bezel, though.

What about a tension setting?

The bezels I've seen have a huge diamond in them; I want smaller and delicate. I've gotten a few ideas that I think could be incorporated into something ideal, though. I'm still trying to sell him on the idea of a bezel, though... Tension settings usually have a band wider than I like. However, the "swirl" effect around the diamond is pretty and I've seen narrow bands that swirl up into a pretty setting. Maybe I can look for something like that. I just don't want the typical setting, since I do prefer smaller diamonds. I want it to have some element of "wow" and I want it to be special... Well, it will be, though. He has gotten really good at picking out pretty things that fit my tastes... I think I'm thinking about it too much because I'm so anxious for it now! Jen :0) |

A friend of mine is considering this setting form James Allen that has that look, but isn't a true tension setting: http://www.jamesallen.com/classic_solitaire_settings.asp?module=setting&cid=57&item=174&name=1011

How about any of these? From the 'Show Me the Ring' thread... Bagpuss' ring:  Synth19 (created by Whiteflash)  Pogie  Colored Gemstone Nuts ring for wife:  And the one i was looking for... LOVE this setting... Lord Summerisle's ring (link to his thread):  I realise now that i should have provided links to all these, but i got them all from the show the ring thread (link above)! Also, the Vatche X-prong setting is fairly low setting and they have several versions you can find here.

I'm really feeling partial to the swirl effect that curls around the diamond, and a wedding band that follows the wave effect. I am trying to decide if I like the idea of a ring like this with a prong setting holding it low, or a bezel. At least now I have a few ideas for Paul; he can do what he likes best between a bezel setting, a swirl interlocking set, or an x-prong. Hopefully, whatever he chooses I'll be able to keep safe on my careless hands! Jen :0) |

Jen: I LOVE my WF w-prong ring! My stone is a princess cut, but they also have them for rounds: http://www.whiteflash.com/Engagement-Rings/Styles/Solitaire/W-Prong-by-WF_741.htm# It sits low, but not too low to where it would interfere with a w-band. Here's a closeup of my ring: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=37239&pageNo=1&num=30 Good Luck! CG

Here's a link to the solitaire version of the ring I want: Victory ring. The setting is fishtail prong, meaning each of the prongs splits into three sections, and it's considered very secure. It's a fairly simple ring, and low profile, but definitely distinctive. Selkie *** |
