what do you all think? i am having a terrible time finding a stone better than the one i have---------------what about re-setting it in this? Easy to copy dont you think?

LOVE that setting WS!
 
WS, do you like that one more than the Tiffany one that Matatora posted in your other thread?

(I'm too technically inept to post the pic, but here's the link: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/looking-for-pictures-of-a-setting.44667/)

If so, is it because of the split shank or becuase you would get wider coverage? You could always have the Tiffany version replicated a bit wider, or even have three rows made instead of two.

i am not sure but i think this would be easier to copy more cost effectively.................the other is gorgeous but the calibrated stones are $$$$
 
That setting is just beautiful Windowshopper! I really like the elegant and sophisticated design.

i wish i could see them side by side.............but i am a computer idiot!
 
If no one is kind enough to post them side by side for you today I''ll get my husband (the great computer geek - LOL!) to do it this evening.
 
Hold on - i''ll do it - just a sec!
 
Let''s try this

Sorry about the black areas - the stupid powerpoint can't just make everything white if the borders don't line up.

Anyway, side by side...let me see which I like better, they are both gorgeous! Either seem easy to copy....I'm having a hard time choosing.

you could barely get the words out of your mouth befoer kindness stepped in!
 
Thank you Firegoddess (now I''ll have to find something else useful for the happy hubby to do tonight - LOL!).

I think the perspective is a little off since the center stone on the setting on the left is proprotionately so much bigger than the one on the right. So just try to imagine your large stone on the right setting and see what you think, WS. Honestly, I like them both but for some reason the right one appeals to me more, especially if you have it made with three rows instead of two.
 
aaaaaaaaaaa my cable is going in and out and i just typed and typed and lost it all. anyway...................dee jay: what do you mean by three rows? i love them both but i wish i knew the stone sizes b/c it seems that maybe the T & co one is better for a smaller stone.whereas the other stone seems like its huge. miine isnt huge but i am wondering if the T & co will seemed top heavy with a larger stone siting on top of that band............make sense?
 
I REALLY like the new one you posted much better than the Tiffany ring, I think it looks more elegant and classic--very beautiful. I do think it would could be custom replicated pretty easily too.
 
Thank you Fire Goddess! what do you think?
 
Wow! Beautiful setting. But, didn''t you just have your stone set in a custom setting by Leon Mege''? I mean that ring is superb and THE thing that made me want a Leon Mege'' setting. What will you do with it?
 
Here's a wacky thought. Do they stock that ring in the T&Co stores? Could you walk in and just see it next to your EC to determine whether it would look top-heavy? That might make your decision easy. Or, you would know that if you want that design better, it would need to be scaled accordingly to the size of your stone on a custom job.

I need to look again. I'm seriously having a hard time deciding. I'm trying to screen out the fact that the picture taking makes the T&Co ring look so bright while the baguette bands look darker, and I know darn well in real life that would not be the case. Are they asschers in the T&Co band?

ETA: Windowshopper, how big is your EC again?

I have always disliked the setting for the stone...............i think the setting would have been better off with a squarish stone of some sort. i think it overwhelms my stone.................yes its gorgeous but not what i anted. I dont know--do you want it?

okay--i will go check out T & co ..............not a bad idea

the T & co are those calibre''d square cuts not asschers

my stone is 3.18 (10.14 by 7.56)
 
HI:

The setting you posted with the baugettes is sublime. Elegant. Tasteful. Showcases the center stone wonderfully. Gets my vote!!

cheers--Sharon

you summed it up..........................i am leaning that way
 
I really, really want to see the current setting. Is there a link to it anywhere on here?
 
It''s funny that with two kind of similar beautiful rings, my gut response can be, "YES!" (baguettes) and "NO!" on the tiffany setting. They are both beautiful, but the band on the Tiffany ring seems overwhelmingly large, rounded and almost masculine to me. I don''t think my feelings would change, even if the two rings could be scaled to he same size stone.

The baguette ring keeps to the spirit of step cuts, to me. You couldn''t go wrong with either, but I think at this point you need to be really sure and really in love to go through this all again, right? So what does your heart say?
 
I think I'm gonna vote for the split shank baguette ring. I do love the elegant simplicity, think it would go really well with that size EC, would be dainty but also not be overpowered by the stone, and all in all scrumptious. I wouldn't kick the T&Co out of bed though, if offered to me, for what it's worth.

But I do prefer the baguettes.
 
While I''m sure I would ADORE it, I won''t be able to put a D 3.0+ stone in the center (unless my money tree has an exceptionally good growing season!.) And, I''m still struggling to decide on what I really want. Size and color are dictating a pretty stringent budget for me right now. Since I''m color sensitive, I will probably still be looking at a 2.0 ct. stone somewhere in the G maybe even H range. I did finally speak to Leon about my concerns and he pretty much felt like a well cut H stone could still be beautiful in platinum. I will just have to wait and see (literally).

Will Leon buy a setting back? Could you find someone here on Pricescope that would be interested in it? It is just too beautiful a piece not to be worn by someone.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

i think the baguettes and the spllit bands are a lighter look too. the tiffany is GORGEOUS but.............its a dense band with a dense (for lack of a better work) stone............i think of EC, asschers have a sort of solid "dense" look. i think the baguettes and split bands lighten up the look. THANKS EVERYONE!
 
my heart says baguettes

i am sure somewhere.................
 
Thanks for the advice. It seems you have a pretty keen eye for beautiful stones and an appreciation for beautiful jewelry. Acutally, I have been corresponding with Bob at Whiteflash about stones. He has proposed a couple of H colored stones that look pretty good on paper. I know I will have to SEE it to appreciate it. As I have family in the Houston area, maybe sometime soon I can make an appointment, instead of buying blind....which makes me nervous.
