A picture request - Steven Kretchmer Elara tension setting?

[OoohShiny]

Hey all!

I just thought I'd post a thread to see if anyone has a Steven Kretchmer Elara tension setting (or even just some hand-shot pictures of them), either the solid band or the split band:

I'm struggling to find any online other than the glamour shots on vendors' websites!


Many thanks in advance if anyone has any!

(Not that I'm going to be able to afford any of them, but I just want to make sure I don't need to sell a kidney to sate my desire for them... )

Hey all!

I'm guessing the answer is a No, then! lol

Sorry you didn't find any more pics, but the setting is wonderful and really shows off a diamond's beauty. I have been warned by jewelers that true tension settings can be problematic when I considered them in the past, but that may not hold true for all makes and manufacturers. It is also 2nd hand opinion, but the person who told me that works at a bench.

Hi OoohS I know there are a few Kretchmer rings on here because I've searched for them myself. There are also a few
Gelin Abaci. Having seen the Gelin Abaci line in person, I will say that I absolutely love tension settings! I really want one someday.

So if you get one pretty please do a thread with at least 100 pictures!

If I do, I will, fear not


It's not looking likely, though, it looks like a minimum $3k outlay and I am already pushing budget envelopes on the stone alone...

I'm currently looking at 'tension-like' settings, though, some of which are nice! Sholdt have a great one but it's still $3k so, er, no... LoL
