I know what you mean about those LOGRs, and committing to a metal color is the the most difficult for me if I don''t have a stone already. I''m always afraid I''ll have an empty setting gathering dust. Maybe if I had a bigger jewelry budget I wouldn''t mind having $$ tied up in that, but as it is, I have to plan pretty carefully.Date: 8/1/2009 11:36:34 PM

What if you find a very competitively priced semi mount? Do you resist, or go ahead and buy one?
I''ve been scoping out LOGR''s for a couple weeks now, and seen some really great deals go by, but haven''t committed because I don''t have a center stone and was worried I wouldn''t find one/couldn''t chose a metal color without knowing the color of the center stone. If I found an awesome deal though, I might go ahead and get one in a white gold so that if anything it shows off the diamonds a little better.

I get pangs of regret though when I pass on a great LOGR auction, and afterwards I can only find it at the BIN price.

I have done both. For me, I watch a lot of ebay auctions and snatch up the ones I like (or sort of like) if the price is great. When I know what stone I want to set in it, I get it customized. If not, I just get the setting. I have a lot of settings sitting around because I need the stone to fit perfectly.
