Knife Edge?????

[EringNoob]

What does this mean for a setting? Thanks in advance.

Here''s an example. It''s a style of band where the two sides come up and meet almost in a point in the middle. The classic Tiffany solitaire is a knife-edge.

Here''s another quick example from Scott Kay looking down on the ring. It might be a bit easier to see this way.

What about these. Are they knife edge too?

No, they don''t appear to be. To me they look rounded with no edge, but those pics are hard to tell. A top down pic is the best way to see the knife edge, IMO. I would call them and ask to be sure. They''ll be more than happy to help you.

Thanks.


Can anyone find some knife-edge settings on GoG for me. I''m looking for either platinum or white gold. I''m having a hard time distinguishing between rounded and knife edge. Thanks in advance.

<- if you look at my avatar, you can see an example of another knife-edge setting. See how it comes to a point at the edge? ^_^

Hey lisa, do you have a link to any vendors that sell the knife edge tiffany setting. What about goodoldgold, do you know if they do, because i''m thinking about purchasing my diamond there, and if I can get a setting there too, it''d be great. Thanks.

You just need to talk to someone at GOG so they can tell you what your options are. Did you girlfriend ask for a Tiffany knife edge setting? How much are you wanting to spend on a setting?

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I just realized you are getting a princess cut stone. If you are just wanting to set it in a plain Tiffany setting, it would be the kind with the rounded shank. The original knife edge setting that Tiffany sells is a setting they use for round stones. I don''t even think they sell princess stones there. So if you want a plain tiffany-style setting, I''d just go with one of the ones you posted originally.

If your girlfriend specifically requested a knife-edge, here''s something from the GOG website that might fit the bill:

Make sure to check with Christen at GOG since there are a lot of settings they carry that aren''t on the website. Like Diamondseeker said, if you''re getting a princess, getting a knife-edge band won''t make it look like a Tiffany ring since their classic knife edge ring is 6 prongs and is make for round diamonds. In case you''re curious about what it looks like, here it is:
