Hi All! I just happened to stumble in and I am so glad to find a place like this where I can talk endlessly about rings, diamonds and the details. You know, with people that want to hear it, that is. :D I need help. I am drowning in the deep end of rings setting shopping.

I have a really long blahblah story about why I have to redesign my ER, but I am not going to bother you all with it right now. I would much rather talk ring new ideas!! I currently have a round diamond solitare and 5 diamond shared prong wedding band. The WB has caused damage to ER prongs, as the mounting (?) is too low on the ER and the bands just simply dont function well together. So I need to get the diamond up higher!Oh, AND Dh gave me 1/3 ctw earrings when i had our first son, (now we have 2 sons) so i want to add those to the ER as my own version of a family ring. Ok. I have spent more time than i am willing to admit looking at settings online lately... cant find what I have in my minds eye. Currently thinking either A) simple, 3 stone ring, with all three set up high... maybe a bridge or cathedral, whatver its called), but not the really standard ones. trellis and all that, i just want it to still retain a dainty quality and i feel like those are too chunky or B) I want and cant find- A plain band (no pave or milgrain, etc) with halo on centerstone, and the two diamond sidestones flanking, halo-less. :D Ritani Bella vita line has the closest thing, but has pave and is out of budget.

WDYT? I will try to get some pics of my rings uploaded next. However, I am tech-challenged, so bear with me please!
TIA

The simple solution is to solder them together. No movement means no eating.

But if you want to have the fun of a new setting, by all means... ;))
 
Mmm. Indeed. I know I *could* solve it like that, but now the damage is done and its obvious. Oh, and a part of the loooong story how i ended up in this situation that my engagement ring and wedding ring are in different metals. my ER is plat and my WB is 14 kt. I do not like the way they have worn into different colors. (There was a jeweler issue- when i think back to the whole thing it makes my blood boil and i start to digress and ramble so. the end)

The whole sordid affair ends with me downgrading my setting from plat to 14kt white to match the wedding band. BUT i get to add diamonds and make it special in the meantime :D
 
Ok, hope this works!!! Not great with computers...

Your rings are very beautiful! Welcome to diamond craziness!

After you reset, you could always consider a thin spacer band so that the wedding band diamonds don't eat into your new setting regardless of how high or low it is.

We'll be waiting to see your new ering!
 
Thank you! Yes I did consider a very thin spacer band. I think its a great idea. Also, I love the stacked look =)

I cant believe i am the only person out there searching for a halo/3 stone combo ring like i am! Halo on center, plain band, plain sidestones. doesnt seem like a tall order... I just cant believe its not out there!!!

Can anyone show me some images of a 3 stone creation with specs similar to my own? Center stone is .63/E/SI1 and the side stones will either be purchased in a semi-mount or I have 1/3 ctw earrings that my hubs gave me as a push present that i can add (nice grade stones) I just need some inspiration I guess to shake the idea of the RING THAT DOESNT EXIST out of my poor minds eye
 
My favorite in this size range is Logan Sapphire's three stone ring - .78 center with .41 and .42 sidestones. It Is simply beautiful!

Thats a really lovely combo. I like the band too... I always hesitate to have any spaces betweent he bands on myself, but i LOVE the look on other people! Whats up with that?! I have a feeling looking around here, I am going to change my mind a few times before I can land on anything! SO many prettys!
 
oooh!!! Nice pic, hmr_mama! That looks beautiful - and gives the halo with the finger coverage - nice!
 
Oh my gosh, thats the best representation i have seen! thank you so much!!
