*DiamondDana** Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,172 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 7/21/2006	Hello to you all ! I am looking to reset my pear in a white gold setting. Currently it is set in a simple solitaire, 14K yellow gold. Yesterday my jeweler rhodium plated it for me (I took it in to have the prongs tightened, and he is so nice and did all the work for free)...he told me to wear it around for a bit and if I liked it white, we can reset it. I already know that this is what I want to do. My pear looked so yellow in the YG setting and it is just amazing how bright and white she looks now ! So my question is this...does anyone here know where I can find an inexpensive solitaire setting? I say inexpensive, but I really mean a temp like setting...since I cannot promise DH that this will be the final reset ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you judge people, you have no time to love them ~Mother Teresa

I'm kind of confused... couldn't you keep it in the setting it is in now until you find the setting? Or would that be years down the road so you want something different now? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May you live all the days of your life. -Swift

*DiamondDana** Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,172 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 7/21/2006	The setting it is in now is yellow gold (rhodium plated), I want it to be white gold. I am not sure if the setting will be temporary or not, so that is why I am looking for the best price on a plain solitaire setting...maybe even some engraving, but no other diamonds. I could keep it in the setting that I have it in, but I am sure the rhodium plating will not last all that long. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you judge people, you have no time to love them ~Mother Teresa

That band was purchased from http://www.fredmeyerjewelers.com/Products/EngagementWedding-FMJ/EW_ShopByCategory-FMJ/EW_SBC_Ladies-FMJ/EW_SBC_L_WeddingRings-FMJ/EW_SBC_L_WR_YellowGold-FMJ/EW_SBC_L_WR_YG_WithoutDiamonds-FMJ/63057.aspx...I am not sure why the WG is not pictured. I think that I paid $100 for mine, and it is the 3mm one. It is not comfort fit, but it is very comfortable. And yes, I am happy with the quality! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you judge people, you have no time to love them ~Mother Teresa

Just pick a vendor or two call or email and tell them what you are wanting and they should be able to help you. ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

OK I am confused, currently it's in a yellow gold setting and you had it rhodium plated and now it's white. Yes?? So why do you need to another inexpensive setting? WG has to be rhodium plated also.

*DiamondDana** Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,172 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 7/21/2006	Krisvrn...WG does need to be rhodium plated, yes...but it will not wear off as fast as the plated YG. The plated YG ring was just a trial run to see if I wanted to reset it in the WG, but the jeweler even said that it will only last a couple weeks or so. I have had good luck with my WG pieces and have not had to redip them too often, maybe this will last a bit longer that the norm but it is only going to be a temporary solution if I want it to be WG. Mrssalvo...thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I am basically looking for a stock setting, maybe a cathedral but nothing too fancy. I don't want to spend too much because I feel guilty spending it on me! I know that I should get over that...I have 3 kids and I probably deserve it with what they put me through, lol. There was a post a few weeks ago (can't remember who it was by) that linked to a website that carried some pretty engraved settings...I cannot remember who it was or what website it was ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you judge people, you have no time to love them ~Mother Teresa
