Truth setting

[cmdwarf]

Any opinions on this setting by Brian Gavin? The instructions I have are to get her a yellow gold solitaire. It's the first three on this site.

There was a gal that just got hers from WF that is yellow gold.. I'll be back in a minute once I find her thread.

ETA; here you go, maybe this will help you.. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/wf-18k-yellow-gold-legato-sleek-lines-setting.115055/

Brian is an awesome to work with, his craftmanship is excellent, I just got some bezel studs done by him,,, gorgeous.

Thanks for the link. It''s basically the same thing except for the head. I guess I''m just asking what people think of the head then.

Someone on here got that setting in YG, and I have to say I love love love it. I really do. I think it's just beautiful and I love the head/profile. I actually prefer the head to the Legato Head. Which is saying a lot because the legato is lovely.

The shanks are different as well. The Truth setting is more fluid, IMO.

Legato:

It''s subtle, but I do think the shank is slightly more rounded than the Legato shank, which I think makes the setting look more fluid. Plus I like the V bar and the way it looks from all sides.

The BG gets my vote. They are both beautiful but I agree with gypsy.

I feel the exact same way!

I really like the way the "V" between the prongs creates a heart shape with the bottom half of the prongs and base of the setting. I also think the "V" more complements the overall shape of the diamond.

Hey everyone! I''m bumping to ask a question about the Truth setting - does anyone know how much it is in gold? I''ve been bugging Lesley so much lately that I kind of feel bad- so I''m wondering if anyone knows off the top of their head and can answer.

Thanks!

It''s $1150 in platinum (I''m considering getting it), so a few hundred dollars less than that? (My diamond search)

Lesley says this setting has really blown up! I''m glad to hear that they''re having such success--particularly since I''ll likely be a loyal customer of theirs

Thanks Tree Sees! Good to know. I love love that setting....and if my cushion search works out, I''m thinking that might be a great, simple setting for it...

I can''t wait to see yours if you do end up getting the Truth!

That''s gorgeous Cheradrian. Is it yours?

Are the prongs different on that one? Heart prongs?

 

[the tree sees]

I can''t wait either!

I''ll definitely let this forum know what I decide. Lesley and Brian are already a true pleasure to work with.

Wow, thanks for the phenomenal photos, cheradrian! Just to be sure, that is what they call the "sleek line solitaire with truth head," right?

 

[the tree sees]

Just to clarify, for those who are following this thread--

Lesley tells me that the images cheradrian has shared are of a modified truth setting--cheradrian asked that the prongs be fashioned to look like hearts from a top view, whereas ordinarily they are simple claws. Great idea and beautiful execution! Normally I tend toward minimalism, but having seen these two options (which cost the same), I feel I have a tough choice to make. I''ll post the results under the separate "Proposal Alert" thread I started.

Thanks! It is mine to give to her! And you have a good eye, it is a prong modification for heart-tips.

Exactly! (except for the prong-mod, but it sounds like you already talked to Lesley and know that)

- I can''t take the credit, I got the idea for the heart-tips from another PSer. And you''re right, excellent execution on the part of Brian, Lesley, and the whole BGD team!

- I am also a minimalist, but I found the heart-tips to be very subtle. Consider the four pictures I posted, the heart-tips don''t jump out at you in the first three pictures and are only noticeable in the last picture. But in all honesty, I hope you go with the original claws (so I know the ring I had made is truly one-of-a-kind,

j/k).

Good luck on your search and I know from experience that you are in great hands with BGD!

Cheer!

Lol, I did decide to go with the straight prongs, cheradrian, so no worries!

I agree, the hearts are so delicate and subtle; I love the ring equally both ways. I also really like the stone you placed inside the shank. But I ended up deciding to go with the ring as is and leave extra flourishes for the wedding band.

Ditto on the unconditional praise of Brian Gavin Diamonds!
