Which would you choose...Mark Morrell Flame or one of the Tiffany replicas???

[Kasey3]

I recently purchased my up grade stone- a 2.36 I SI1 from GOG-and I need to decide on a setting. I saw the MM Flame at GOG, and it is gorgeous. I also love the Classic Tiffany setting and I would be happy with a replica.

So, if it were up to you which would you pick and why?

I love the flame; it is very fluid and beautiful!

Those are my 2 cents!

MM Flame all the way!

Fluid, classic beauty!

If budget doesn''t matter I would take the MM flame for sure!

The Flame for sure!!

I would def choose the flame between the two... I like that it is different and I love the flow of the design.

another vote for the flame...

the flame, without a doubt! it is both classic and unique and i think mark''s work is just divine. the flame also offers you something beautiful to look at from the side as well as the top.... and although tiffany & replicas are certainly well done design-wise, for me the interest of the profile just doesn''t compare to that of the flame!

The Flame the flame

I would say the Flame, but the one thing I do not like are the prominent prong tips. I like those to be as small as possible. The other thing I am not sure about is how low the wedding band needs to be because the head in that ring is set pretty low. Maybe you were able to try on the sample ring with a wedding band, and if so, that''s great! These are just some of the things that concerned me when I was trying to decide whether to get this setting.

I do love the Tiffany repros, too, and my other top solitaire is the Leon Mege classic!

Thank you all so much for your replies. I really appreciate your input. Choosing a setting is so difficult, and nobody understands-except you guys!!!

I don''t know if it would pertain to all of his settings, but someone got one, can''t remember which, and said the tips aren''t near as big in real life. Which I''d believe, as mine look gigantic too, but really aren''t. We sometimes forget just how magnified these pics are.

Thank you diamondseeker2006 you have touched on some important points. I agree with you about the prong tips, and the super low setting.These are the two things holding me back! I would definately have difficulty with a wedding band and would have to have a matching wedding band made-which would add an extra cost to an already costly process.

I love the Leon as well-but my first love is a six prong setting..maybe I will send him an e-mail and inquire about a 6 prong version of one of his simple solitaires.
