I am looking for a new setting for my current diamond. What do you guys think of about these two settings, picture of current ring attached.

oops, sorry, here it is!

thanks for the links, I am obviously new at this!
 
I saw the Ritani line in person for the first time yesterday. It is very well made. The quality of the micro pave and the craftsmanship on the settings is very high. I also found out that Ritani will allow you to customize your ring, which I thought was great. I thought their settings were very sophisticated and their styles a bit more "classic" than Verragio. Their eternity bands were exquisite.

verragio. Sorry, but how do you delete a post/ edit it?

Well, there is a big difference between the two styles. The Ritani is a classic micro pave look with teensy weensy diamonds. Bill at Pearlman''s has desribed them as the "tanks" of the pave world, because they are almost indestructible. At the same time, everyone who sees them marvels at how delicate they are.


In contrast, Verragio is a BIG BLING look. The diamond in the halo look to be 3-4 point stones, so we are talking about some serious wattage. I do really like the verragio and admire the rings of the PSers with them often.


So which look are you after? Subtle sparkle, bugger bling? Of course, both are pretty blingy.


But that said, I adore that Ritani ring. I tried on a similar look once and it is a whole lotta sparkle and a whole lotta finger covereage. Awesome.


Glad to see you moving ahead with a reset that you want! I recognize your ring from the other thread.

I love the Ritani.--Classic and elegant. I love how the three stones are balanced and the micropave and even though it is intricate, it isn''t as "fussy" as the Verragio.
 
I love them both, but I love your current setting even more! Sorry, I know that is not very helpful :) How are the diamonds set in your current ering and wedding band? Are they in tiny bezels? Do you have a closer or more detailed pic of your current set? I just love it! :)
 
I love love your current setting too!

For me, I would be worry that Verragio setting hurt my finger but it''s the best design. Really gorgeous!
 
I''m not very helpful either....cuz I like your current set too!

BUT....I am SO glad you decided to let the man spoil you!
 
If you like the big bling look then I can totally see why you are wnting a change. Your setting is gorgeous, but every woman needs a ring that expresses who she is.
 
The Ritani, to me, is much more modern and ''clean'' looking while the Verragio is very blingy and romantic. The proportions on the sidestones (and also - from the pictures, the amount of the sidestones visible from the top) are very different.
 
I am ashamed to admit it, but I LOVE bling. haha. I was leaning toward the verragio because I saw it several months ago and I still can''t get it out of my head. I like the ritani bc my dream ring was a tiffany legacy. I don''t know what the setting of my side stones would be called. Maybe half bezel? I like that the verragio has a bit of that and only has prongs on the two sides, I also love bezels though. hehe, tough choice.

Here is a link to a post I made on SMTR with more details on my current setting. You will see that though its unique and simple. Its not ideal craftsmanship.

I have looked into it and LOVE his rings, sadly, I don''t know why, but I CAN NOT do platinum. My initial ring was platinum and had to change because I vent it so bad it wobbled and I need a size bigger bc I turned it into an oval

I have not heard of anyone having bending issues with Leon, but of course you should do what you are comfortable with!

Oh, and yes. Most people don''t have issues with platinum, however, I had a Kirk Kara piece that I bent so much that my jeweler could not flatten out, so I had to exchange it. He explained to me, that like some people remove rhodium from gold rings than others, some made platinum more pliable than others. who knows. all I know is that I don''t want to go through all the resizing I had to do with the kirk kara.
 
As a daily Ritani wearer who is Not Nice to her rings, my e-ring is a bit out of round after four years of wear, and the center stone had to be tightened twice.


The pave has not moved, and it shines like mad in the sun...

Oh and I WANT your old setting. That would be yummy for a colored stone project I have in mind.

Yes, I am not concerned about the issue. I plan on getting 18K gold. What project do you have in mind??? Maybe I can steal your idea! And the setting is not hard to get, I got it at Shane Co. Haha.
 
You are so welcome! I like helping out. ETA And I am glad to see a lurker come out and play !

Here is m current ring: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/golly-gee.132750/ I will be making another upgrade sometime in the next 3-6 months, not sure what yet. Yes, I am crazy

Reader Your comments about your Ritani are intriguing to me! I have always loved he halo look and do not want do deal with maintenance. The fact that your ring has not had pave issues makes me even more attracted to it.

Honestly, if I wanted pave, Ritani is the only company I would buy from. The prices are good considering the high quality that it seems to have! And Ritani used to design for Tiffany, so you know he is stylish

I too love Ritani! Great quality.

LOL! Another tip: If you click on a users avatar (the picture they use for ID) then you will go to their informatin page. There right under their name you have the option of clicking a link that says "All topics by this user". It will bring up all their threads and you can find their ring pics usually in Show Me The Ring.
 
Thank you! It seems like the ritani is the winner. I am going to the jeweler next week (they no longer have the ritani in), I''ll compare prices and see how they look on my hand. I love the detail on the sides of the verragio though! My jeweler is awesome with trade ins, I could get the verragio, since I am assuming its cheaper, then upgrade to the ritani in a couple of years. Hehe, upgrading is so much fun!
 
Before you buy, be sure to call www.pearlmansjewelers.com for a quote. Ask for Julian or Bill. They are a PS vendor and give the best prices on Ritani that we have seen on PS, and they give a PS discount, but only on the phone. I would also call www.since1910.com about the verragio if that is your choice since they are also a PS vendor and will give discounts too most likely.

Thanks, I do know that I could get it cheaper, but my husband is a freak and WILL NOT let me do anything online. Only at sit down jewelry stores. So far, my jeweler has been able to do pretty ok. He gives me 5% off since he knows I am a frequent customer hehe. He even set my stone for free on a setting I got from shane co, whom I went to only because he advised me I would get what I wanted much cheaper there than he could offer me.
