...it''s here! I ordered the setting last Thursday (March 17, St. Patrick''s day) since eBay sent me a little coupon and I thought, "I might as well use this!" plus I''d gotten the state tax return deposited the night before.

So, here''s the spinel just resting in the jewe2004 setting. Hubby helped take a few photos.

Lovely!!

What do you think of the setting from jewe2004? Can you give us a review of your assessment of it?

Thanks everyone!!

Re: cinnamon''s question:
I think the setting looks pretty good--no special lighting tricks used in the eBay photos. I will look at it with a loupe tomorrow; I''m hoping to get it set soon. The diamonds are tiny and sparkly and the setting is very delicate-looking; I really like it. It''s not perfect, but for $170? I honestly am not *that* picky. We''ll see what the local jeweler has to say, too. I think I''ll probably have them appraise it when they set it, too.

Thanks, everyone! I can see how these kinds of projects get to be really fun. Ahhh, the endless array of choices! It''s been really fun. Will make a trip to the jeweler this weekend to get this baby set.

VERY nice! I can''t wait to hear what the jeweler says about the setting. It seems like more people are ordering from this vendor. The prices seem to be a lot cheaper than say LOGR.

Very pretty...I ordered the same setting myself on 3/17 but needed them to resize the mount to accommodate my stone AND I requested an upgrade to full cut diamonds. I'm glad to hear you are happy with the setting. I'm anxiously awaiting mine which I expect sometime next week.

Hoofbeats, yes, the prices are a bit more reasonable than LOGR, as their prices keep going up. I don''t have a comparison for the quality, though, so will need a LOGR to know for sure.

knitwit, can''t wait to see your version of the ring!! What size stone/type of stone are you putting into it! It will be fun to have a (sort of) ring twin. Since I was inspired by Lauren''s yellow sapphire ring for this project, I''m excited to see your version, too!!

Oh my gosh, Rubybeth, I came across your avatar and did a double-take! Your ring reminds me so much of one I have. They look almost identical.

Congrats! It looks great on your finger.

My stone is an asscher cut amethyst, 6.5mm so mine will be a bit more square than yours. I kinda thought I might have received the shipping info by now as they had told me 5-7 days to make the ring and 5-7 to ship. I emailed them today asking if they could give me an estimate on a ship date so we''ll see.

Hi Rubybeth,

here''s mine, although I think your setting is more delicate looking. Love your violet spinel!
