Bar set Emerald Cut wedding band

Maisie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,769 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/30/2006	I really love this wedding band from Signed Pieces but I don't know anything about bar set rings. http://www.signedpieces.com/item.cfm?item_id=912 Has anyone had any experience with bar set? I don't want a shared prong ring as I will worry that I might lose a stone. I really would prefer a ring which isn't high maintainance if you see what I mean! Are bar set diamonds secure? I like the look of the bars going across - I know a lot of PS'ers like as much diamond on show as possible, but the setting looks lovely to me. I won't wear it all the time. I wouldn't be able to wear it with my RB solitaire, but I would wear it with my plain wedding band. Any comments welcome

I really love it and I feel it's made pretty well. I wear it pretty much all the time. ...groovy... ..this is my boomstick.. ..gimme some sugar, baby..

I am trying to choose between channel set or bar set. I have heard that channel set is harder to clean, but I think this may not be such a problem if I get an Ultrasonic cleaner?

But if you're wanting a band, I vote for the bar set emerald band! It's gorgeous and more unique than the channel set round one.

That would work if I hadn't completely fallen in love with my diamond! I just love it so much! I do love the emerald band, its clean and sleek and beautiful!

thing2of2 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,671 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 1/1/2007	I forgot to add that my older sister has a bar set anniversary band with rounds and she's worn it for at least 5 years straight and it still looks great. I think the bar set setting is a very durable one because I'm pretty sure she does no maintenance on her jewelry at all.

I really want a low maintainance ring, but just having a plain one isn't really an option! I need bling!!

Steel Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,982 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 7/8/2006	Maisie, I didn't know whether to pitch in here... I bought from SP this year and had a terrible experience. All ended well and I took a full refund incl shipping. I am very regretful that we had a serious difference of opinion as I would have loved to buy from them but at the moment I am so embittered I wonder if I will again. Bottom line, they did give a full refund. I suppose that deserves a good amount of credit despite my experience. *************** I wonder, would you consider a 5 stone ring aka that wonderful ring created by WF (I think) recently with the PS'er whose name begins with K. I cannot remember- sorry. It prob would end up the same cost for certed stones? Might be worth an email? It will be my next major purchase too, I am deciding 5 or 7 stones. I agree about the shared prong issue for safety, I wonder if the bar offers greater security- I would venture not much. I have a 4 prong and think they are super.

Steel Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,982 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 7/8/2006	Sorry sweetie, I do not. I weighed up posting when it all happened and decided it would not be productive. Their word against mine for the most part and I could do without the hassle of others standing up for SP or SP themselves choosing to disagree with me again. That is why I weighed posting for you. I wish you well and if I were to have seen a questionable post about SP, perhaps I would have saved myself the hassle. I reiterate, they honoured their refund policy, that is to be commended. They have wonderful stock, I still browse their site; lamenting at all that could have been mine.

Maisie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,769 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/30/2006	Don't worry about it Steel Gosh, I think I am just a bit worried that the reason for the return was because of the quality of the piece.... its a long way to send it back if I'm not happy with it. I wonder if WF could replicate the ring for me. Might be worth asking them.

Maisie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,769 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/30/2006	lol! I am rather clever aren't I?! I love Kcoursolles ring, its very beautiful. I just don't want shared prong, especially for larger diamonds. I know that I would be worrying about wearing it and its a lot to pay for it to sit in my jewellery box!

Steel Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,982 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 7/8/2006	This is slightly off topic, but I was lusting after this ring just this very evening: http://rockdiamond.com/index.php?crn=206&rn=639&action=show_detail It might be over budget, but . Santa please put one of these in my stocking. Then there is this one, same shared prong issue but its a looker for the price (they admit the inclusions may be visible for the price) http://rockdiamond.com/index.php?crn=206&rn=702&action=show_detail I know I am no help, but ya gotta love the sparkly things! ETA: This is a cheaper smaller version of the 1st one, shared prong again. (Go on kick me) http://rockdiamond.com/index.php?crn=206&rn=641&action=show_detail ETA2: Links corrected. ETA3: Oo Ooh, If you are gonna grap the WF K-Edge like you hinted, this is a luxury 'must': WF: http://www.whiteflash.com/Wedding_Bands/Pave-Knife-Edge-Band_962.htm Different version: http://www.firenzejewels.com/store/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=1912 By the way, I cannot verify these sites. I have not bought anything from them. [Apart from WF, of couse, which I ]
