I've taken a liking to Mark Morrell's designs, and have pretty much settled on his designs for my bride to be. My question is what are the differences between the Torchiere and Flame designs? I plan on getting the small diamonds nested in the crown. I've searched around for the answers, as well as compared images of the two side-by-side. Unfortunately my untrained eye can't tell the differences. Any help would be appreciated! http://www.mwmjewelry.com/Flame_ring_first_samples/ http://www.mwmjewelry.com/T_M_Torchiere/

The Torchiere seems to taper in. The bands all the way around just look different in general to me The Flame band looks more like a knife edge? and the Torchiere seems to be rounded all the way around... Also, the prongs? as they go up around the diamond are slightly different. There's more of a groove in the Torchiere setting... I've not seen either one in person so I could not tell you for sure... I'm just basing it on the links you posted! Hope this helps and I'm not totally off! Oh yeah, and the top left Flame photo doesn't have any diamonds...

The normal Flame shank is all one width and a knife-edge. Take another look... and see if you can see what I mean.
