I found the setting that I want for my diamond at www.adwar.com, and after my jeweler got it in he, said that it would not be possible to set the diamonds in the band because there is not enough metal. I would attach a picture, but the file is too large. It''s in their Collection 19, page 1028, #21169L (bottom row second from the left). He said that he could do the halo, but it''s the whole look that I fell in love with. Any suggestions? I know it''s a pain to look all of this up, but I am just so dissappointed. My jeweler set the halo diamonds, and it looks beautiful, but he wants to set the basket and halo on my eternity bands, and the look is too much. I want something more delicate. Help?

Here''s the setting being referred to, so that nobody else has to go dig. It''s on page 1128 BTW, not 1028.

Here is another thread with an Adwar setting, halo and diamonds on the sides.

Thanks for pulling up the correct picture FireGoddess, nothing like making this more difficult. And you are right mrssalvo, this setting is meant to have diamonds in it. My jeweler has set the diamonds in the halo, and it is perfection, but once again, he says the metal on the split shank is too thin for diamonds. He set the halo and basket between my two bezel set eternity bands, but I''m just not loving the look. I have pictures, and I brought my camera in to work today so that I can download them, but for some reason my computer will not let me pull up the usb port so that I can show you. I''m working on this, so hopefully I can show you what I''m trying to describe!

you''ve got to trust your jeweler, but what good is the adwar setting if diamonds can''t be put into it

. I honestly don''t think I''d like the look of a halo on top of your current set. I hope you can get the pictures up, I''d love to see what you''re talking about

Chances are the setting doesn't pass this jewelr's safety test. I don't understand then why didnt he return it to Adwar asap before setting any part of it?

Sure I wouldn't want safety compromises on such a setting because most likely mens... those diamonds will pop out rather quickly

Bad karma...

I don't know anything about the quality of Adwar settings. In general, there seems to be some advantage having the jeweler have some controll over the casting process, and with pre-made settings this is not the case.

Thanks Ana. I''ve never dealt with pre-made settings, but this one I just fell in love with. My jeweler wasn''t worried about the diamonds in the halo because he said that they wouldn''t get the wear that the bands would get. And I certainly don''t want him to set them in the bands and then have to deal with them popping out on me. I just love the look of two very thin pave bands.
