I recently proposed to my girlfriend; she said yes. Now, I'm looking for a ring for myself. I like diamonds very much and would like the biggest and best that I can get. However, Iam a student and have a very limited budget. I like tension settings, but theyare fairly expensive. Ideally I would get a Gelin & Abaci setting, but there is no way I could afford that. I have looked at titanium, and that could be a good option, but I found a setting that I liked on www.revorings.com; item 6111 to be specific. They work in stainless steel and the setting is very inexpensive. I keep on thinking that the cheaper the more money I save on the setting means a better diamond to put in it. Anyhow, how does stainless end up looking? Will it scratch much? Is it reasonable to set a diamond in steel? Any thoughts on their settings or on stainless steel would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm a little nervous to have a stone set in a tension setting for fear of losing the stone. I have read several stories of lost stones and I don't want that to be me. I plan on insuring my ring completely. Should I worry that much? Are tension setting really as safe as the retailers claim? Any thoughts?
Thanks everyone; I'm new to this but now I am hooked on diamonds and I love this site. I consulted pricescope when buying my fiance's diamond and ended up with an awesome deal and an amazing diamond.
