If you like the Fusaro, you may like some of the solitaires at the following link ... I've been obsessing over this website for the past couple days.  Just keep going back to it.  Some of the rings are really quite lovely.

Awww. . i'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. I do have some side shots of it, but they are on DH's computer.  Tomorrow after I teach a few lessons I'll log onto his and grab them for you.  It's an awesome ring and I love it because I can't see myself ever changing the setting (upgrading the diamond perhaps) hehe.

Wow Cellososweet, your rings are amazing! I was hesitant about posting because my ring technically has some sidestones, even if they are really really tiny. I do love  the solitaire look though...mine is by Van Craeynest.

Cellososweet - I have never seen a solitaire with a halo - I absolutely LOVE your ring!!  Is that a custom setting? I've been looking for a lovely halo for a colored stone, I have been looking for something with a very delicate and pretty look - what you have is just about a perfect match - I'd love to see other work by the designer if it is something you picked from a specific line.

jypsie. . it's actually a tacori and i think it's pretty hard to get the setting on it's own.  i'm sure you could do a custom thing.  the gals around here are great at helping with that!  they could probably help you out :-) i think i'll start my own thread tomorrow since i haven't posted since my e-ring got some plain and occasionally diamondy company ;-) glad you enjoyed. loveinbloom. . beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!!

Oops!! nevermind, I see in the third post that it is Tacori.  I started to reply, walked away from my computer for quite awhile, came back and finished without looking at new posts in the thread. LOL

My apologies.

There's a few more in here.

"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."

Here!

Gee, I don't actually know the technical definition. To me, it's just a single diamond in a simple setting.

Here is mine.  It is a 1ct RB in Ritani.  I had a few modifications made to the orignial setting, including making the tips of the prongs rounded instead of heart-shaped.  There are more pics here.

I hated solitaires until I tried this one on.  It totally converted me!

I am very open to a liberal interepation.  Basically, anything w/ a single center stone.  It can be embellished w/ a halo, colllar, etc and its OK to have tiny or pave stones in the shank, or of course a plain shank, but I'd prefer not to have large side stone...
