So, I am bad at posting when I get new pieces, but I bought a few items in 2010 that I thought I would share.
The first is an oval setting that I purchased from mydiamondzone on eBay. This is probably my favorite setting that I have for a RHR. According to the listing, it has 0.38ct of E-F colored VS diamonds. The center stone is an 8x10mm cheapy mystic topaz that I purchased for $15 because I didn't have enough money for a nice stone at the time. I am currently looking for a blue or purple spinel to replace it with (but I'll have to post another topic for some help with that).
The second setting I purchased from wenhuihui2009 on eBay, which I think is a LOGR store. The setting feels a bit flimsy, its very light, but I got it at a great price. I didn't upgrade the diamonds and I am pretty happy with them, they are very white and sparkly. They total 0.39ct and are H in color and VS in clarity. The asscher is a 6.9 x 6.9 mm 2.34ct rholodite garnet from Tan's store (odysseygem).
The third is my little mahenge spinel cushion from Gary Braun. It is a very pretty pink but it is quite difficult to photograph. It is currently at my jeweler's being set right now, so I'll have it back on Friday and I'll be sure to post pics. The setting is from lan.bo and when I first received the setting I was VERY disappointed. The diamonds looked awful, or as many of you say around here, like "frozen spit"
I sent the setting back for upgraded diamonds and the new setting is definitely an improvement. I have attached a pic of the non-upgraded setting that I sent back, although the pic is very dark so its kind of hard to really see how crappy it is.
Ok so here are my pics!
Mystic topaz (center stone soon to be replaced hopefully):

This one is smaller than I like, but I couldn't afford a large one and I think I'll be happy with the ring when its done. I definitely encourage you to buy a pink stone 
I should have the mahenge ring back this weekend so I'll be sure to post pics.
