This setting thing sure ain''t easy & I really need some PS opinions to help me make a decision. I don''t want to make the wrong choice and regret it later. Here''s the deal: we already picked a stone from GOG and looked at some of their settings. It was fun trying on the styles seen here on PS and seeing how they actually looked on my own hand. I really love the look of shared prong rings, and we actually found one that was just stunning on my finger & with our stone. The price is right and I am psyched, they even have a band to go with it! This particular ring is made by Ajour, who would do the casting and then send it on to GOG to set the stones. Case closed, right?? -Well no, I''ve reconsidered, and here''s why. The only thing I wish I could change on the above is the head. I really love a more swoopy, flowing head like LynnB''s. This one is just basic.
I also LOVE the Locke''s setting and the look of a solitaire with a shared prong 3/4 eternity band. In fact, i''m liking it more and more. During the engagement with the ering alone I think I''d prefer my GOG style, but once the wband is with it then it becomes more blingy. The Locke''s ering alone is more plain and simple, but with the wband is absolutely gorgeous. I also think the Locke''s would be better quality, less upkeep, more comfortable, more durable and more unique than the GOG.
So here I am, unable to decide which route to take, and calling on you to give me some direction. I LOVE Locke''s, but it causes us to do a lot more. I''d have to find a wband that would go with it & I''m nervous that I''d pick the wrong one, get the stone insured and possibly appraised before sending it out, and just hope that the final product works and looks great. With GOG it''s easy, they take care of everything and send me the finished product. I''m worried about the quality of the ring in general though, if I''ll hate the prong tips and/or head, or if this particular set will have rubbing issues to contend with. Even if it comes out beautiful, I wonder if I''ll regret it and always wish I had the swoopy head instead.
I need some guidance here so please chime in so I can make a decision and get this show on the road. We are so ready to be engaged and I am so close to finding my ring I can taste it!
