Ok.. So the time is coming where I will be purchasing "the ring".. I know I have the right girl and have known for a long, long time.. It is about time I do what I should have done a while back. Anyway.. I took a stroll into the local diamond exchange to take a quick look.. Was actually surprised that the lady in the store did not try and sell me the biggest and best diamond.. She was actually pretty real in saying that as far as color goes you could go from D to G and not really tell the difference.. And as far as clarity she said you could go to SI and not really see anything.. But being the person I am I will still want the better quality.. I am planning on getting a center stone of around 1ct with d-f color, internally flawless, ideal cut, and excellent polish.. But that is all for another day.. While in the store I got to looking at settings.. I was looking at a lot of the ones that seemed plain to me.. They were either a solitare or three stone rings but the band was just plain white gold.. Don't get me wrong.. Very nice rings but it just didn't pop.. Even a few that had a couple of side diamonds just didn't do the pop.. I came across this set of bands pictured below.. I am curious what style of ring this is called.. Is this something that is not a very "in" style? I saw a few that resembled it but this one just jumped out at me.. I feel like an idiot being its the first place I visited but idk.. I looked at every setting in the store and it just popped.. Just wanted to find out what style this is called so I can try and find more like it.. Also is there a website that has a list of all of the popular ring makers.. the lady showed a pamphlet that had the name of the designer and it began with a G but can't think of the name of it.. Anyway.. Thanks for any input..

It's three sided bright cut pave with migrain cathedral solitaire with four prongs in the basket. You don't want three sided pave though, not if she want to wear a band next to it. . The diamonds will rub against that and break and chip one another. Rings are worn next to each other... diamonds cut diamonds. Two rings with diamonds that rub and wear against each other every day, all day is asking for trouble.

Starting with G is kinda vague. It could be Gabriel and Company. It looks like their style. And theirs is decent quality and great affordability. But it could be several other designers as well.

Also D IF is a waste of money. So really is any IF and VVS1. Especially if you are talking about rounds.

Go for F VS1 if you have to have high color and clarity, but G VS2 is where the smart shopper is at. Most people look at size first, then color makes an impression, as for clarity... as long as it's clean (and yes, many SI are clean) no one really cares.

If you want to spend money on quality, and want pave on a setting, that's where you should spend some money, cause that's where you will really see a difference when paying more for better goods. In that style I highly recommend Scott Kay for quality. Built for durability like a tank. http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/scott-kay-jewelry/rings/ Pearlman's is an EXCEPTIONAL vendor to work with, but you can probably find a Scott Kay dealer locally too. Make sure you price shop. And for pave, go for platinum. That's where you should be putting your money. Not in D IF.

This is a setting very similar to what you were looking at, but without the three sided pave and by Scott Kay. Great quality. http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/scott-kay-jewelry/rings/112U1/
