My new 2 ct BGD Tiffany solitaire!

[vespergirl]

Yes, this is the long awaited reset that I finally decided on since trading my asscher for an RB 3 years ago. It's being reset in the BGD platinum Tiffany-style 6-prong knife-edge solitaire (I know, I went from a 4-prong solitaire to a 6-prong solitaire, because I'm a big risk-taker ). I am super excited because I was told it would take at least 12 business days, and they got it done in 10, so it's even sooner than I expected.

Sorry to be a tease, but I don't have glamour shots yet - Jamie is going to send them later today, but I will post them as soon as I get them. The actual ring is arriving tomorrow, so I'll post the handshots tomorrow ...

Yay!

Total tease...no pictures!

 

[vespergirl]

OK, I finally got some pics! I only have 2, though, and Lesley said that she will send me the arrows shot in the morning. I can't wait!

 

[vespergirl]

OK, here's the second one. I'll have more tomorrow! I'm so excited - the prongs look beautiful.

 

[that_someone_special]

Lovely! That is a classic setting!

Vesper- I am getting my ID jewelry band tomorrow (similar to yours but with dark pink sapphires) and I am in the process of resetting my stone into a 6 prong as well! Too funny.

Nice! I can't wait to see your band - the dark pink sapphires sound beautiful. I really love mine, you're going to love yours too.

Have you decided which 6-prong setting you're going to go with?

 

[MissGotRocks]

So far, so good! Would have liked to have seen more but guess we'll have to be patient.

Bet you'll hardly sleep tonight!

No doubt - 3 years is a LONG TIME. I wanted to get a new setting back in December of 2007 when I first got the RB, but Mervis ordered me the wrong one, so I just decided to put it in my old setting until I could decide what I wanted from a PS vendor. It's so funny though that after looking at 3-stones, halos, etc. I am just ending up with a classic TIffany setting, but I figure that's the safest bet for someone who can't make up her mind

Well once I saw your band I was like.. yep! I think I need to order that I called the next day and ordered it!

The 6 prong is being made from "since1910.com" ... I think they said it should be done by next week. It is a 6 prong tiffany knife edge setting lol ! I also just ordered 8 prong stud settings for the side stones (resetting my 3 stone) from ID Jewelry as well! I could not find anything remotely close to the items I wanted, so online shopping/ ordering was the way to go!

Can't wait to see your set together

Ooh, I saw a bunch of gorgeous settings on 1910. Your ring is going to be gorgeous! I am also obsessed with the 8-prong earring settings since I saw someone on here got a pair. You must post pics once you get them!

I think it's a good choice. I think once you have a three stone or halo, it's very hard to go back to a solitaire. However, a solitaire is always a beautiful choice and you may like this so well that you'll never consider another mounting. Should look wonderful with your diamond band too!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

That is one of my very favorite solitaire settings and I probably would have gone with it had I not gotten the Leon solitaire. Nothing more classic than a Tiffany knife edge, and I don't think I'd ever get tired of it! The pictures so far look great but I can't wait to see the hand shots!

 

[piratefan]

Ooohhh...very nice. So happy for you getting your upgrade! Can't wait to see some arrow shots and hand shots ofcourse. I hear ya on the setting indecisiveness...I have seen so many on PS that I think are so pretty that I think sticking with a solitaire setting may be my final setting after all. Mix and match bands for more or less bling and color.

 

[vespergirl]

It's here!!!

First, here are the two extra glamour shots that Jamie sent me today. After seeing these, I thought they made a mistake & set one of Brian's diamonds instead, because I thought that there is no way that this is my "ugly duckling" EGL Israel diamond:

 

[vespergirl]

OK, here are my pics that I took today, in no particular order. I just love how delicate the new setting is - the 2mm setting makes the diamond look bigger, and looks great with all my bands!

 

[vespergirl]

More pics!

 

[vespergirl]

More pics!

 

[vespergirl]

Still more!

 

[vespergirl]

And finally, here are some pics of my old Verragio solitaire as a comparison. Even though I thought the profile was very pretty, I really didn't like the blockiness of the prongs, or the 3mm width of the band, or the cathedral style - I thought the old setting overwhelmed my stone. Oh well, it can live on in pictures ...

 

[oranges]

wow!!!!! what an improvement-- the new setting is STUNNING!

 

[bright ice]

SO classic

It makes such a difference in your stone. Really pops, and such a beautiful stone it is. You made a very good choice. Enjoy!

What are your stone stats?

 

[jaysonsmom]

Gorgeous! I've always loved that look, and since I help my brother get that same tiffany replica setting for his wife, I couldn't get it for myself, or we'd be ring twins

Thanks! The diamond is a 2.01 G SI1 EGL H&A.

 

[jill_s]

Vesper - congratulations, it's so beautiful! Before I decided to go with a three stone, I thought long and hard about this setting. It's just so beautiful and timeless! It looks great on you, especially with all your fun bands!

 

[S&I]

Congrats Vesper - it looks great in the new setting!
