Wow that one from Quest is beautiful.
I''ve had this saved in my favs file for a while, simply because that bezel with the milgrain is divine!Date: 2/12/2008 3:15:45 PM

Gwendolyn, Chrono''s ring (which I absolutely love) was originally Mrssalvo''s which was a copy of a vintage Tiffany which is why you can''t find it on the Quest site.![]()

Lisa is correct. The ring is handmade by Quest and isn''t a stock item. Quest tried to cast it but it just didn''t work out, it had to be handmade. It was originally MrsSalvo''s ring (with 4 prongs) but then her OEC chipped and she gave the stone back to her insurance company and put it up for sale at Pearlman''s. I then purchased it, sent it back to Quest for modifications. I was also worried about chipping my OEC so I asked Quest to change it to a bezel set ring. It is a replica of an antique Tiffany ring.Date: 2/12/2008 6:09:21 PM

Chrono, do you have a link to that ring and/or some pricing information? I looked up one Quest and they didn''t have it, and another Quest''s rings won''t load up for me.
Chrono, it is without a doubt one of the most beautiful rings I have ever seen. Thank you so much for telling the very interesting story behind it--did you know mrssalvo had returned it, and you asked for it specifically, or did Quest have it on display and you snatched it up? I would be inclined to think the first, since the odds of the second happening seem pretty slim, but y''never know...Date: 2/13/2008 12:12:51 PM

I''m trying really hard to recall - it''s a designer ring. It isn''t Sholdt...it''s just at the tip of my tongue.Date: 2/13/2008 12:40:30 PM

i love your setting, chrono -- it is perfect for that type of stone! this one looks more like what i''m lokoing for. i like the delicate shank a lot, and i do love flowy settings!!
The setting is called, appropriately enough, the "Lady Captain''s ring" and it''s from Cross Jewelers:Date: 2/13/2008 10:42:07 AM

good point about the milgrain being a risk. i hadn''t thought of that. less of a worry with a diamond, i suppose.
Selike -- i like the semi-nautical look of that setting a lot. where did you find it?
