Well, to recap, it has been a while since I have been here. I bought a TR-105 tension set in 14K WG for my fiance, but she was horrendously allergic and even after having it platinum plated no dice. Thread and pics for the original ring are here.
So, I had to eat the cost of the TR-105 and move on. I talked to WhiteFlash about getting a very similar non-tension setting, as my fiance loved the setting, in platinum ($$$ ouch). We also had a wedding ring produced that fit flush with the odd shape of the ring. True to the recommendations they get around here on pricescope, in about a month Whiteflash produced my current ring. After three days there is no rash on my fiance''s finger so I think (hope) that the ordeal is over.
We are very, very happy with the ring. My fiance likes it better than the original tension I got her. They really did an excellent job, especially when looked at from the top, of matching the TR-105 with the half-bezel. Only complaint I have is that the purple sapphire sidestones don''t match the wedding ring''s more reddish/magenta purple. But Bob mentioned they didn''t think they''d be able to match the purple sapphires before it was made, so no worries... on to the pictures.
In case you didn''t click the other thread, diamond is .91 carat VS1 F w/table 72 and depth 68.
