Show me perpindicular channels?

P: 10/27/2006 12:03:15 PM
Patch Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 10/29/2006 Member Since: 10/4/2006	Hi everyone, I'm looking for a setting for an e-ring for my girlfriend. I'm starting to become partial to settings with channel set side stones that are perpindicular to the band, rather than running along it, like this Union Diamond setting (which happens to have both): Another example from Cross Jewelers(which looks like FacetFire's Michael Bondanza setting?) Anyone have any other examples of this style? I prefer ones where the channels extend beyond the shank. I'm looking to set a .74ct diamond and I'd like to keep the shank somewhat narrow. Any examples (white gold, platinum, yellow gold with platinum head, etc.) will be appreciated. Thanks, Patch

But I called them and they were way more expensive than Pearlman's. Elma Gil has some settings with diamonds going perpendicular: http://elmagil.com/jewelry-soulmates5.htm and more on this page: http://elmagil.com/jewelry-soulmates8.htm and this page http://elmagil.com/jewelry-soulmates10.htm

Patch Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 10/29/2006 Member Since: 10/4/2006	Wow! Thanks, FacetFire! I really like some of the Solomon Brothers ones and the bezel at GOG is really nice too. I can tell some of these are out of my price range, but they're giving me some great ideas for things to look for. If anyone has any examples with a yellow gold shank and the perpendicular (spelled it right that time!) channels and head in white or platinum that would be great too...I'm still on the fence about which color to use.

FacetFire Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,878 Last Post: 6/23/2009 Member Since: 6/27/2006	Why don't you give us a better idea of what your budget is? Don't forget, if you like any of them and the platinum version is out of reach, you can always go with gold, which will be much less expensive. I'd call Solomon Bros or GOG and get a better idea of the prices in white gold. I have dealt with Solomon Bros before, and they end up giving a very good price... Personally, I think settings with a lot of side diamonds look better in white gold than yellow, but it's a personal preference. What color jewelry does she wear most of the time? Also, those Elma Gil settings are suprising inexpensive in white gold...well under $1000.

Patch Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 10/29/2006 Member Since: 10/4/2006	I'd like to keep it under $1000 (I'm on a grad student budget). But feel free to post some of the more stiking examples, like those from Tiffany's, as well. I like seeing a broad range of what can be done with the style and hopefully, this thread will be useful to some others as well. I agree about yellow gold and side stones...I'm not a huge fan of the look. But I'm thinking that having a plain yellow gold shank and then platinum for the channels and the center prongs might be an option. My girlfriend doesn't wear much jewelry currently. She usually just wears small yellow gold stud earrings, a yellow gold necklace, and her two tone watch. I think the yellow gold complements her well, but I don't think she's necessarily committed to it...she's just wearing what she's been given since she was younger and hasn't had the money to build up a jewelry collection that's her own style yet. It seems hard to find examples online of yellow gold settings I like, though. And with yellow gold (not so much with white), I have some preference for 18kt since there is a visible color difference, and this seems even rarer.

The ring that I posted above that looks a bit like mine (from Solomon Bros), I think would actually look really good in yellow gold if you had the yellow gold start just below that bottom channel. I've actually stared at mine before thinking I would like it in yellow gold if it were done like that (keeping the channels and everything above in white). I wish I could photoshop it for you...maybe someone else who has photoshop could color the bottom part yellow? I think it would be stunning! Also, the Ingwer bezel would look really good if done that way too!

Hmmm...well, I like the overall shape of the platinum one from Solomon with the engraving and the basket setting (85097). I also like the one that sort of looks like yours (79808). And I still like the Union Diamond setting I posted, as well. Some of the others have shanks that are too wide for my tastes. I like the side channels to stand out a little and sort of "hug" the center stone as opposed to just be part of the shank. The bezel from GOG is nice, though. Not sure about the split shanks. I started looking at the pependicular channels because I thought they added a little uniqueness, but that might be too unique for my (and hers) taste. Plus, I'm already thinking that finding a wedding band to go with this style might be enough of a challenge as it is without the split shank.
