Just to clear the air. I know about Kretchmer''s alligations about GAI and I have read his posts at diamond talk. I am not concered about that. My girlfriend and I have fallen in love with tension settings. (We may go with nising for our wedding bands.) For her e-ring though we like the elegance of some of the Kretchmer''s and or GAI''s designs.
I am interested with anyones knowledge about the structural quality of the rings - particularly GAI as Kretchmer seems like a very safe bet for structural strength. Has anyone ever heard of a GAI setting coming loose, or does anyone have a GAI setting and are you satisfied with it? I have read a scietific paper that Kretchmer paid for comparing his rings to GAI''s but it seems to be almost entirly lacking in substance. (I am a PhD physics canidate with a background in materials science so I do have experience reading such papers.)
Thanks for your time
