Custom 3-stone help needed.

[violet3]

I''m a shared prong girl for sure - i just love seeing the stones in all their beauty. However, I am wondering what the bezel setting looks like....can you repost so i can look?

When i got engaged, I got an eternity band rather than a traditional ering, but i was 100% torn between an eternity band and a three stone, sapphire center ring. Still hoping one day to get the sapphire ring to go with the eternity band - a LONG time from now

I hope you get your 3-stone Violet! We sure do have A LOT of the same taste in jewelry!

Here is the semi bezel...which is very cool, but no longer a contender.

No, prior to me actually speaking with Lesley about buying the stones I had felt like I had gotten the brush off from them. I had asked for so many quotes over the period of a year that I wasn''t surprised when the quotes started getting quite high and emails were going unanswered. So I no longer considered them a possibility and moved to other vendors. I understood their frustration with me, heck, I was frustrated with me and my many, many flip flops and changes in what I want. However when I finally got to really talk to Lesley all of that disappeared and she was wonderful to me. I truly feel like that connection has been made again and I hope to work with them in the future.

For this project I am using JbEG, specifically Erica. I love her and I am so excited about doing this with her!

I actually meant to type JbEG before

Too many acronyms! The owrk that JBEG have been turning out lately is great, I think you are in good hands.

I think so too Dreamer! I''m feeling very confident and happy about what it''s going to look like!

Your above post was VERY helpful. I asked Erica many questions about the custom I am doing and decided on a 4 prong side stone setting for both being more secure and to not give that pear-ish appearance even though she thought it was possible to do a martini setting on the sides w/o it looking pearish. I also decided not to tuck the stones under but to have them slightly lower but almost girdle to girdle in closeness to 1) get all the size out of them I can and not hide any of the stone and 2) to not make the round stone appear to be another shape.

So thank you so much for bringing these things to my attention, it was really helpful and in the end helped me make some decisions for my own setting!

I''m very happy to have been of some help to you. I''d *hate* for another PS''er to have to go through the hassle, not to mention the expense, that I''ve gone through. It seems that you''re doing plenty of homework. Your ring should turn out very beautiful. I can''t wait to see it!
