The backround is hideous because I shot these pics in the bank safe deposit vault screening room...

Rascal49 - Yes! Trust me, this was a HUGE endeavor - she and I shopped together for what felt like an eternity. We found that she gravtated towards more modern settings that were "different" from what most women wear after the third or fourth week of shopping. She settled on 3 or 4 designs that she really liked and left it up to me to make the final choice. I loved this one from the beginning because it''s so out of the norm, yet elegant and classy.

SanDiegoLady - thanks for the nice complements! We thought about going the custom route, but decided against it in the end.

sistagrl2004, it''s pretty heavy. We talked about the pluses and minuses of going heavy, and my GF was cool with the weight.

Wow - that ring is like a piece of art! She better get ready for some attention! After the proposal I''d love to see a direct, head on shot of what the ring looks like from the top, but not at an angle. Do you see any of the bridge beneath the stone? It''s a really striking setting that will definitely be noticed, and very cool that the diamond is so visible, suspended in air almost!

The diamond is a great size and if your girlfriend loves the setting then you''re onto a winner. Congratulations!

SF228 or anyone else I have had an infactuation with tension set rings for sometime. and my bf and i were talking and after a few cocktails and i got some info out of him that he has contacted a few jewlers about a custom made tension set ring. Now after lurking around the PS site... i am thinking mmmm not such a good idea... because they seem to be a bit more delicate...

SF228 did you and your gf discuss this problem or issue?

snogirl17, the stability of tension mounts was a big deal to us. We really liked the look of tension mounts, but did quite a bit of research and decided that this was something we didn''t want to do. The setting you see here is actually NOT a tension setting. There are very small channels carved in either side of the setting in which the diamond sits (they''re pretty hard to see). This small difference (the presence of grooves) entirely changes the properties of the ring so that even a significant jolt to the ring shouldn''t pop out the stone. (true tension settings have no grooves - they just rely on a lot of force to hold a diamond between two perfectly flat surfaces). This, of course, didn''t stop us from getting this sucker insured anyways!

AHHHHH that makes a bit more sence! but really i LOVE the ring i really do!
Now it makes me wonder if the jewlers has suggested the chanels on each side to get the same look without the worry about the delicate setting.. of course i am sure she still will be extra careful!

if you dont mind i believe you said it was not custom.... would you mind sharing the jewler?

What a beautiful, unique ring. I love looking at all of the angles, the diamond, which appears to be floating & the sheer architecture of the ring. It really is like a piece of art. Simple, modern & edgy, but classic as well. It will definitely get a lot of attention! Be sure to post some hand shots after you propose--I can''t wait to see this baby on your FI''s hand!

The setting for my ring is pretty heavy too. I was initially shocked by this (my FI said it weighed 12 lbs!), but actually like the way it feels on my finger. It feels substantial & weighty. I just hope it doesn''t turn too much on my finger when it gets cold out...
