angeline Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,942 Last Post: 11/14/2009 Member Since: 7/23/2006	Hello all, I have a 2ct arriving soon... and I'm thinking of settings. I love both of these rings. But I would love to see if a full bezel could be used instead of prongs on the first one. (or conversely a wider then tapered shank on the second one) I was wondering if anyone knows how if they could kind of superimpose a thin bezel on the first pic? Do you think it would work? be too much?? Thanks so much if anyone knows how to do this! cheers, a

Or putting a bezel on the Bondanza ring. I guess swapping heads and bodies on the two rings! Hope this helps clear it up! Looking forward to what you might come up with - thanks!!!

etienneperret Rough Rock Total Posts: 48 Last Post: 12/31/2008 Member Since: 10/3/2005	Hi Angeline, The bridal set that you have pictured is certainly lovely. I agree with you that it will look very beautiful with a bezel. I would suggest a thin bezel maybe 1/2 a millimeter in thickness. It should have a similar appearance to the edge of the matching wedding band. Tell Michael Bondanza that you want this ring done with a bezel, they will understand. You need to think about whether you want the diamond to sit down low near the ring shank or if you want it to sit up a little ways. I think you should be able to get them to provide you with drawings of what it will look like with a low or tall bezel. Etienne Perret, GG, AGS, JA www.etienneperret.com

Etienne - thank you for your input. Your bezel halo rings are my first love! I just think that the triangular outline presented by a tapering shank suits my hand better than a straight band. This is all very exciting!

I love how indestructable it seems! The one with the plat one as already said hers is scruffy but that in white gold could be really great!! If the ring broke, likely the whole bezel would fly off and keep protecting the diamond! lol!!

Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

FacetFire Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,878 Last Post: 6/23/2009 Member Since: 6/27/2006	I saw both these rings today at a jeweler in DC and I can tell you that the plain solitaire was TO DIE FOR! I was in love! It is so striking! I wish I'd had my camera with me...though they didn't seem like the types to let me take pics. They had it set up with the curved WB to...and honestly, it was so beautiful it made me want a curved band! I think you'd be soooo happy with the solitaire...with or without the bezel.

Is the last one Linda Penwarden? I love the idea of an indestructable setting too. I'm a bit of a klutz and I'd be worried all the time with a delicate setting. Cehra - split shank yum! I love split shanks. It would give me the triangular look without being too heavy. I can just imagine the bezel flying off like some really tiny expensive frisbee if the ring broke, LOL! Facet - which ones did you see? Trouble is, it's like the diamond, I just love 'em all! Widget, Kaleigh and Ellen - I like to hear your opinions. Your rings are all so darn gorgeous, I need to get input cos none of my girlfriends are at all into bling! They think I'm nuts! I just wish I could take one of you along on a setting hunt to get opinions!

angeline Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,942 Last Post: 11/14/2009 Member Since: 7/23/2006	Oh YEAH! I would love a shopping trip with any and all of you! I read with jealousy the Joe Escobar trip - I live 5 minutes from JE. I so don't look the type to buy big bling, most salespeople kinda overlook me. Another reason I love buying from the internet. Anyway thread-jacking my own thread there... what I was going to say was... I love the idea of a plain ering-type ring with lots of fluid metal and a super-take-your-eye-out sparkly band to wear all the time! I also love a gap, not too keen on mathcy-matchy. Sigh...so much bling, so little time (and not enough $$$, ha!)
