I used a Stuller as a temp setting and it was super comfy.

Oh how nice!!! I saw it on LT. Good to know it was comfy, it’s a setting I think is so great.

Hmm..you know better how you will feel, but I completely understand! What I have personally found over the years that most times it pays off to wait to get what you really want. It is ok that you no longer have the yg soli. Another idea might be just to replace the head of your existing soli, if that is an option?

Regarding selling the stones to your mom, I would think about it twice before you do. Can you replace them for the same cost? Would you purchase something different if you are to sell them to her? Would you have any regrets? If any of these makes you second doubt, think about it a little longer before you do. Also, definitely think about possibly selling them to your mom before you purchase a new setting, if you might not want to hold onto them for too long.

Good points to ponder! Also, my mom is annoyingly selfless. If I could bequeath to her some nice bling I would be very thrilled :) She never treats herself!! And I have a bunch of bling so my finger would definitely not go naked ;-)

From the ones you linked or in general?

In general, if you have any!

It would be very kind of you to share in some of the bling then. If you are not sold on the three stone idea, the perhaps you can sell the smaller soli to your mom and she can add two 0.25ct stones, that would make for a lovely three stone as well.

I like the Stuller three stone setting that you previously shared and I also like the following:

Here is one inspiration pic of a ring with similar proportions:

Nice settings and that inspiration pic is so great!!! Good ideas for my mom. I will see her tomorrow and see where her head is at.

Nobody else loving the swirly stuller setting I posted? I have such unusual taste sometimes, I guess, haha :)

@SimoneDi those proportions look really good actually. Any additional info on that pic of the three stone?

Don’t they! Let me try to find the original post.. they were colourless, I think 0.8ct center and 0.4ct each side stone.

ETA Here you go - https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/she-said-yes-and-i-have-pictures-to-prove-it.188638/

I may have to give this a shot! Between @Niel having such a great eye and suggesting it (I think she knows better than I do what I would actually wear and enjoy, haha!) and you finding this great real life pic to help me visualize... I may have to give this a go! If I don’t LOVE it I’ll just resize the ring and put cz in for my mom, who could care less but likes three stones heh.

I remember this beauty by Maytal Hannah from a few years back. The centre stone is .84cts with .30 each side stones. Not sure if it’s a bit blingier than you were looking for. It’s one of my all time favourite 3 stone rings.

Totally my style. I love it!

I think if I were going for “one ring to rule them all”, that might be it. But I have a wide pavé right hand ring, and this pic you posted (whole AMAZING) looks a bit too close to my RHR. I’m thinking that a classic three stone paired with a rolling ring might look best.

Oh yay! That sounds exciting! Are you leaning toward one of the three stone settings?

I’m glad someone showed you that because it’s a nice example of proportion comparisons and I think you would love that much diamond.

What do you think of this crown setting but in rose gold? I love the setting you chose though... ahhh I’m so indecisive!

I like the heart one haha but I’m not sure. I think it would drive me nuts to have one cz and two diamonds so I might get a solitaire mount as a temporary...

I think you are right!


Stunning!

So funny that you are considering this one! It is high on my list for the upgrade. :whistle: I think it would look beautiful in rose gold! I’m sure it is quite a bit more gold, so it would be more :$$):

Ahh good point. I’m totally obsessing over your setting, though! I may go for it as a temp... if you don’t mind a copycat?

@KristinTech at least with my jeweller, the two settings don’t vary greatly in price... I love the crown setting, but the rope one feels more me. I have a moissanite I can put in it after I’m done with it. Yay!

So as long as you don’t mind me copying... :D

Not at all, @pearaffair , go for it! Since getting my Cartier trinity, I just love rose gold! I also love antique yellow gold that has the rosier glow to it. :P2

Awesome!!! I’ll let you know what I do. I’m digging rose gold though.
