I hope someone can help. My problem is that I have two very different soliary diamond enagement rings that both need resetting because of extreme wear (both are old). I had been wearing them together on one finger, and they did fit together oddly enough. One is a heart-shaped white diamond, the other is a round yellow diamond. Both are about the same size, a little over 1/2 each carat. Both have sentimental value.
The jeweler who looked at them yesterday said these are two stones he would never put together in one ring, but the alternative is to set them in two different settings (as before) and wear them together (as before), however he said the rubbing against each other is what caused so much of the wear and tear on the settings. I don''t want to turn either of the stones into something else such as a pendant or earrings. I already have a ring I wear on the other hand. We looked at some two-diamond settings he had in his book, but nothing thrilled me very much. Do I set them offset? Do I set them on top of each other (that was how I was wearing them, basically).
What''s a girl to do? Anybody have any setting suggestions? I can post pictures if that would be helpful.
Thanks,
Joanne
