joyfulbarry Rough Rock Total Posts: 40 Last Post: 1/15/2009 Member Since: 5/20/2008	Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to PS and I really enjoy reading everyone's posts. You are a very helpful group! I'm looking for a solitaire setting for a RB - just over 1ct. So far I've found that I really like the Legato Sleek Line from WF. What solitaire settings for a RB do you like? I'd like to consider many before making a commitment. I love all of your photos - especially hand shots. Thanks in advance, Kim

It's gorgeous. Oh no... I had my heart set on a halo setting but now... oh no.... the classic solitaire beckons. Aiiiiiieeeeee! Decisions decisions decisions! Bliss is Within

joyfulbarry Rough Rock Total Posts: 40 Last Post: 1/15/2009 Member Since: 5/20/2008	Thanks everyone for your opinions. I hope they keep coming. I wish that I could try all of these rings on. I really like the Vatche Royal Crown its gorgeous. I definitely loveLeon Meges and Tiffanys classic setting but Im thinking that for our 10k total budget it would be better to go with a less expensive setting and really try and find a gorgeous stone. Bliss you made me gulp. Your diamond is gorgeous, gorgeous. I love it as a solitaire, but Im sure if you do go with a halo that it will be wonderful too.

A couple of weeks ago I had my diamond put into a 2mm e-weddingbands.com simple plain setting. The jeweler who set my stone totally screwed it up and Quest fixed it. So yesterday I'm cruising Ebay and what should I find? My ultimate favorite solitare- a gently gently gently used Vatch Royal Crown at an amazing price! It ships today so I won't get it till next week, but that is my final setting. So by the end of next week, my diamond will be in it's new and finally home!

Gwendolyn, Is that my ring? No skin off my nose if it is. I'm just curious. I am honestly not sure. I pulled it off his website--I have a couple of yours saved under your name (like that gorgeous sunshine shot scarlet took of it when she did the Tsav photo--le swoon!) but this one wasn't saved under your name, so I don't think it is. But if you recognize it, please tell me so I can change the file name and give you appropriate credit when I post it the next time someone is looking for drop-dead gorgeous rings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UK Wedding: April ?th, 2010 US Reception: May 30th, 2010!

lovely Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 6/4/2008 Member Since: 6/2/2008	You guys are a great help! I like all of the rings you've posted. I think I'm still leaning towards the Legato Sleek from WF. There is something about the basket (i hope that's what it's called) of that one that I find so pretty. It's difficult to know though without trying them on. I'll probably go to a B&M store to try rings on to get a sense of what I like and don't like, but I think we'll get the ring online since PS has really educated us about the wonderful vendors out there. What are the biggest differences between the looks of the Legato Sleek and Vatche Royal Crown? I would love to see a side by side comparison of these two settings. Also, I'm leaning towards 4 prongs (I think there is a Vatche with 4 prongs right?). Anyone object to 4 prongs in a white gold setting? Thanks again everyone for all of your very valuable input! Sorry guys - It's joyfulbarry here - I didn't know my sister used my computer last night to create a profile (Lovely) and ask a totally different question. When I replied to this post, I didn't realize I wasn't logged in as myself.
