Cathedral Settings

[woobug02]

I have decided to go ahead and reset my ring in white gold or platinum. I want something classic yet noticable. I was thinking of a tall cathedral setting for my marquise. I would then put my two white gold diamonds on each side. I think the cathedral is dressing enough for the nices gown but calm enough for a pair of jeans. I am looking at a couple online. Could show me some pictures of yours.

thanks

here is what I am looking at. what do you think

 

[ame]

I like it but are those diamonds on either side of the solitaire? I prefer cathedrals to be plain or have surprise diamonds since it''s generally supposed to be such a clean look

Another

 

[woobug02]

last one

Well humm...I agree with what ame said...the thing that the little diamonds there make the setting look off. The next two are too small for me to see well enough to discern them.

Look at these and let me know

I personally like the first setting.

What are the specs on your MQ again? I''m so glad you''re going to do a re-set....I KNOW you will be so much happier and at ease with the decision....and now we get to help you with it! YAY!

 

[woobug02]

Thank you I AM SO READY

My stone is

Measurements 11.84 X 5.91 X 3.6
Color H
Clarity I1 (I hope to upgrade clarity at 25 years)


My two anniversary rings are .50 ct prong set in 14kt white gold (also H color and I1)

 

[Tacori E-ring]

I like the 2nd.

 

[woobug02]

The 1st one is 4.5 mm in width and the 2nd is 3.2 mm in width...... I will be wearing two bands with it

 

[blueroses]

That is one honker!!!

Oooh, this is going to be fun

 

[mrssalvo]

setting 1

setting 2

 

[mrssalvo]

it's funny, some else was looking at those settings for a princess and most of us like #2. but for your marquise I really like #1.

 

[woobug02]

WOW That is cool I like #1 Also

 

[Angel7]

I like the 2nd (I'm not a tapered fan)
I swear these two exact settings where in a thread in Rockytalk!

Yup I went back and checked here is the thread.
They were going with a princess cut though.


OOPS...I must have been typing when you were Mrssalvo!!

 

[woobug02]

How do you think that the thinner one will look with a band on each side...

 

[AndyRosse]

LOL, it''s funny that for your marquise, I like the first setting. But for the princess, I like the second.

 

[woobug02]

How would two 5 stone anniversary bands look on the the side of these

 

[WTNLVR]

Number 1 may give you gaps at the taper. It''s hard to tell without a side shot. Number 2 may work better for a flush fit.

 

[ame]

I like number 2 (the last setting you showed.

Its clean, simple and not "bubbling" out.

 

[woobug02]

I am trying to get a side shot of the settings

 

[Sundial]

They are both lovely elegant settings. I prefer the first one, but the second one might work better with your bands.

 

[woobug02]

Here is a side view of number one but I am also posting some from White flash

White flash

 

[woobug02]

woo, another

 

[woobug02]

last choice.

 

[lumpkin]

Rhonda, this is a very different setting. I don''t know if it''s your cup of tea, but I find the Lagos Bridal Collection a bit compelling. Here''s a picture:

 

[woobug02]

That setting is actually really COOL!!!!!
