I, like so many others, fell in love with the Vera Wang Micropave solitaire setting. (Most of it, at least, but not the strange prongs…) I was looking for a set to reset a ~1 ct RB with a matching wedding band. With a very limited budget, I didn''t have much hope for finding what I wanted, everyone said at least $2000 per band. But lucky me, I found a setting through bridalrings.com which has been exactly what I wanted and fit my budget. Here''s a link to the set (listing is for the wedding band.)
Its a very thin band (I''ve never actually measured, but I tried on the Vera Wang setting, and I''d say this is just as thin (within a 1/10 of a mm either direction). The quality seems really good, I''ve been wearing it around a year with no problems at all, no loose stones, etc. The sides are smoother than the VW, which seemed to be almost scored in a pattern (sorry, don''t know correct term). I also got 3/4 eternity, but might have the rest of the band filled for an anniversary or something, which they said they could do for ~$150 per band. All told, the set cost me just under $1200 including setting and appraisal.
The service has been great! I wanted to see the ring in person before buying, so they sent to me with a hold on my credit card. They always ship 2nd day or overnight. I wanted it as a 4 prong, which they did no problem. I wanted to make sure the rings would sit flush against each other, which they do beautifully. I''ve already sent them to be replated once (at no charge.) They have a lifetime guarantee, so if any of the stones do fall out (due to normal wear and tear, of course) they will replace them for free. Replating is also free for life (around once a year, I think.) I was nervous about ordering rings and sending my diamond off to be set, but I couldn''t be happier with the results. I worked with Cathy, ands shes been very helpful and always quick to respond. If someone else is looking for a budget version of the Vera Wang setting (or just thin micropave bands) I would highly recommend calling Cathy.
