I have a potential project in the very early conceptual phase, and I am thinking I want a tri-wire style ring shank for it. I would love to see different variations to get some inspiration for how it might meet up with the stones.

Diamonds, gemstones, antique or modern ... whatever you have - if it’s a tri-wire shank you own or have owned (or maybe have saved in a folder), please post it along with who produced it. Thanks so much in advance! :wavey:
 
By Victor Canera. Can’t say how much I love his tri-wire work. Thought it would be uncomfortable. Not at all.

Will be a great reference thread.

@LLJsmom Those are ALL gawwwwwgeous rings! :love::love:

Would you mind sharing the specs (mm) of the central diamond in your first post please as well as the shank width/height? Just trying to get an idea of scale and how the overall look might relate to what I’m planning. Thanks so much! :wavey:

9.13-9.2mm, size 4.5
Shank width I think 2.54mm
Height may be a little over 2mm. Guessing 2.1-2.2

Thank you SOOO much! That is very helpful! :wavey:
 
Beautiful rings @Rfisher & @foxinsox I haven’t decided between hand forged or cast yet ... still very early in the conceptual phase. =)2
 
My tri-wire Chloe by CvB. It definitely isn’t as pronounced compared to hand forged. It’s about 2.1ish mm wide. Excited to hear what you’re planning!

These are all gorgeous examples of tri-wire rings; thank you ALL so much for sharing your pieces, inspirations, and/or those of other PSers! :clap:

What I am thinking about is mayyyybe resetting my OEC soli :whistle: or using three other old cuts I have (.40 - .75 - .40) into a 3-stone ring. I’ve always loved the tri-wire style rings; however, I stumbled upon another ring design yesterday that is now also a strong contender setting to consider ... I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I saw it, and think the style really complements OEC facets quite nicely.

Too many beautiful options ... :wall:
 
It has been very hard for me to decide on just one forever setting, as well. I am just not going to reset many times when some settings are $3-4k, so I need to get it right on the first try!

This is SOOO true! IF I reset my CvB Abby OEC, it will be once because - even as a soli - it wasn’t ‘cheap’, so if I go forward with a new setting, it needs to be ‘it’.

I think I may continue to work through possible tri-wire setting ideas for it, and this new style I saw yesterday, go forward with a three stone version using the smaller OECs I have stashed. I’ll start a new thread for that so as not to commingle projects. :wavey:
 
All the rings here are gorgeous!

But - oh @the_mother_thing and @diamondseeker2006 - I feel your pain re choosing one setting!

There is no chance that the setting I'm currently working on for my new soli is its forever setting, but I just need to get it into SOMETHING aesthetically acceptable so I can wear it - otherwise it would sit in its little WhiteFlash box till the end of all time!

Soooooo many gorgeous settings - all fabulous. Soooooo much confusion on my part!

When the two of YOU have made your final decisions, I'll take that as a sign that it's time for *me* to make choice! (Please don't make a decision...please don't make a decision...)

All that to say, tho - I have to say, @the_mother_thing - I ADORE your soli and always have. It's one of my ultimate go-to eye candy rings. I don't even know why I love it so much - I think it's something about the interaction between all the elements; it's just perfect!

However.....

Tri-wire settings.....mmmmmm.....:lickout:
 
Thank you so much @mrs-b for the compliments on my Abby. Coming from you with your amazingly gorgeous collection, that is an ultimate compliment! I will definitely leave the Abby OEC as-is for the time being until I am as certain as a PSer can be that I have a solid concept design for a new setting. :wavey:

I created the new thread for my three stone project idea over here if ya’ll wanna go weigh in with your thoughts on that. ;)2
 
"As certain as a PSer can be"... That should be a definition for a whole different level of uncertainty!!

Love it. :mrgreen:
 
We ought to have a dedicated "Show me..." thread to tri-wire rings!

@Skhii I save pictures in a folder when I see them, and I don't have the source of those pictures, but you might be able to search the image and find them. But I believe for both of the rings, those may be the only pictures because I generally save all views of a ring if I really like it. And thank you, I do think these styles might be my best choice for the AVR!

Beautiful! foxinsox, is there more info or pictures available of this ring style somewhere

It’s gorgeous huh! I saved this photo from Hancock Diamonds’ IG so you could contact them for more views.. but in saying that, I think the side view would be very very similar to the one that DS2006 posted.
 
Bump ... anyone happen to have any pics saved of tri-wire three stone rings? :think:
 
Bump... @LLJsmom et al -
Working on a new project, considering a tri-wire shank for a little something different. To all those that have tri-wire rings, do you find them as comfortable as a more conventional “D” shaped band? I plan to wear this ring daily, so comfort is a big consideration.
