Champaigne Setting from WF - Polished finish?

P: 5/9/2007 9:17:15 AM
MidwestDiamondHunter Rough Rock Total Posts: 85 Last Post: 6/22/2007 Member Since: 4/6/2007	Hi everyone! :) I've been eyeing the champaigne setting from Whiteflash but my girlfriend really doesn't like brushed or satin finishes. Has anybody ever seen a polished version of this setting? I bet it would be quite beautiful despite the drastic change in the rings personality. The link to the setting is: http://whiteflash.com/golden-wardrobe/Gold_Details.aspx?ItemCode=WFR-UDmPtPv Thanks

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

I think it would be gorgeous! Ditto on asking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. 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."

I think it would look good in a polished version in the yellow-gold setting, as the "champagne" bubbles would stand out. Not sure if it would have the same effect with the white-gold though. After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.

I would still like to see ACTUAL photos of this ring in a different light and/or on a finger. Okay, while I was typing this I tried to attach the picture but it was too big. I am going to wait until after work and try to get this thing resized and posted!

I'm not digging it in my head -- seems like the little stones wouldn't pop as much in s polished version ... though that Etienne guy does polished "scatter" type bands ... and the Etoile band is polished ... I just don't know. Interested in seeing the pix ... you say YELLOW gold??

MidwestDiamondHunter Rough Rock Total Posts: 85 Last Post: 6/22/2007 Member Since: 4/6/2007	So what kind of prongs would you use for a Princess? Also, would you consider any changes changes to the side stones? hmmm....wonder what it would look like if all those little champaigne 'bubbles' were princess cut instead...

I wanna know what kinda champagne you're drinking that has SQUARE BUBBLES! I'd guess whatever it is -- you've had TOO MUCH! Personally - I don't think square stones are going to create a good effect scattered around the setting ... it'll start looking like pixels ... science-ish? I mean no disrespect but you are thinking like a guy! I also don't really dig that setting as is for a princess cut stone (ducks ... dives for cover) Never been one of my favorite settings though .. polished or matte.

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	To me, the setting calls for something softer, rounder, more feminine..... A princess commands a certain look, and looks best in a setting that enhances/blends/works well with it.

It's not quite modern enough and not quite antique enough, does that make sense? I like things that are clearly ensconced in one era or look and this one just seems to be too busy for me. I much prefer the original champagne setting with a round. Sorry.
