Most of you probably remember the blue tourmaline I bought from Michael. And while it's beautiful, it's driving me bonkers when it comes to figuring out how to set it! Every time I think I know what I want, I go to sleep, and wake up changing my mind! Sigh...
Anyways, I think I like this two tone setting (sterling silver and 14k gold), but because of how it's designed the bezel is closed in the back, which means I can't get to it for cleaning. I bought a bezel ring once from Onegarnetgirl but the bezel wasn't done well, so water and condensation got back there, drove me so bonkers that I had it reset (hence how I found Julia). However, the new jeweler I'm considering seems more experienced and does nicer bezels.
I was wondering if any of you have bezel rings that are closed in the back? Does stuff manage to get trapped back there? Do you like it?
Here are some pics of the setting I'm considering.
Let me know what you think. Should I keep looking?
