Aw, Gypsy, you''re welcome! We all just want you to get what you really want.Date: 7/6/2007 12:01:13 PM

See. THIS is why I post on here.
I thought about it overnight and decided that:
1) It doesn''t do anything for my asscher.
2) The proportions of the sides are a little big.
3) I don''t love it.
I still like it a LOT.
But it''s not IT.
I''m going NOT going to be wishy washy (lmao Chrono).
And a since the lot of you have WONDERFUL taste. And have sets that I love. And have waited for them... I''m going to go with the majority here and suck it up.
Honestly, if it there isn''t a BIG cost savings (800) I will probably go with Leon because this is perfect for him.
My other option, of course... would be to get gold with Maytal. Which might actually be better for this project as the shank is plain and therefore would bang up less with gold.
Special thanks for Turtle... who while loving the Speyer settings (and owning one)... agreed that this didn''t do anything for my asscher.
As for the Nashville wedding. We are still considering it-- it''s our first choice. But I have an idea I want to pop on John when he''s feeling better (he''s ill right now). I was thinking of just going down to city hall when his mother flys in next month (August 8-14) and getting married-- my parents in attendance as well. Just something short and quick. Maybe in my parent''s backyard. No formal photography or anything (although I''m getting my peony bouquet darn it!). And then doing a vow re-newal ceremony and reception next year in Nashville. I''m not completely sold on it myself, but have a week or so to mull it over.
The reason I''m not sold on it is because I''m afraid it will be like this Temp setting. We''ll keep delaying the vow renewal b/c it will become a low priority to throw a lot of $$ on a big party when we are already married.
I agree -- I actually think the setting is beautiful (the SS rings I have seen are really nice). I just don''t like it with an asscher ... and I think the side stones are too big with respect to the size of Gypsy''s asscher. I think a halo would really complement the asscher and help with the DSS.Date: 7/6/2007 1:26:11 PM

FG,
It''s not that I dislike it the Speyer setting. I love it (with the ribbon prongs shaved down). It''s just that I can see why Gypsy prefered the halo after seeing the picture she posted. It''s a very different look and I understand what she is looking for now.
LOL. It wasn''t so much that I was getting away from halos. I just DID NOT want a custom project. I was looking for any stock settings I liked within my price range. And i really liked this one. But it just isn''t right for my diamond.Date: 7/6/2007 1:38:23 PM

Yes, I was just under the impression that Gypsy no longer wanted a halo after all that drawn out baguette halo with a million different iterations saga. I was surprised to see lovey''s halo come back out again after Gypsy falling in love with the Speyer setting. To me it indicated she wanted to go in a completely different direction. That seems not to be the case.![]()
I definitely have a new appreciation for the Speyer though..cuz while I wasn''t as vocal about how much I hated the picture...I totally hated it and was shocked at how pretty it really was!
