re: setting stone

[fire&ice]

I would like to set my 3 ct. stone (round) in a simple 4 prong setting w/ two baquettes on either side. I am at a quandary as to what size w/ compliment the stone w/o making the ring appear huge. I would like to use platinum and want a very secure mounting, etc. for the stone. I would like to stone to sit up some. I have thought about the baquettes rising up a tad on the side. In other words, I have no idea what this will look like. Any information on sites or brands would be helpful. Someone suggested Stuller (sp) soltice?

Thanking you in advance.

THAT'S IT!!!!!!!

Do you know off hand how much the price range is. Also, do you have to be a authorized dealer or can these be ordered by a jeweler?

I'm not a jeweler but a software and internet developer

- they sell Vatche rings via the internet.[/u]

Just went to their site - they don't seem to sell stones over 2 ct. and did not have that particular one listed. I will do a goggle search. Thanks.

Many thanks. The style is exactly what I want. I am sure some of the cost is in the designer name. That in itself means nothing to me....but sometimes there are no substitutes. I would love to also hear from anyone who has used this setting. It seems very substantial.

Thanks Leonid. I am fairly set on the Vatche setting you pictured. I have just contacted above vendor and I have contacted another one as well. If all goes well, this seems like the perfect setting for me.[/u]

Thought I post this, similar side diamonds, but mounted in
a unique way. I think you can figure out the designer. : )

Check out http://www.robbinsbros.com. They have quite a few designer
rings to check with nicer camera angles.

Hope this helps...

From Verragio Website: They somehow managed to make their rings more
"chunkier" than they are in real life.

Another, with more elegant sides.
To answer your next question, no I don't have
no vested interests here.

Sorry for spamming but cannot seemed to edit replies that contain images. The robbinsbros website also has a pic of your ring as well.

HI

Thanks for your input. I went to the verragio site in my setting search and found their rings to be too fussy. I like the straight forward nature of the vatche setting. I'm an old fashion girl. Unfortunately w/ expensive taste....but, really only in jewelry. I always liked the Gemlok quote of Oscar Wilde's. "I have very simple taste. I only like the best"

I will however check your website.
