Question : Could this e-ring setting be modified? Experienced jewelers, please advise...?
I've purchased the below engagement ring setting, however, the manufacturer will not do custom work on the setting.I'd like to add 1 or 2 small diamonds to each side, basically to make the ring a bit more unique. I have included a picture of the ring with the 2 different configurations I was considering, each designated by a different color.The ring is size 4.75, band width 2.7mm - 2.2mm, center stone is 1ct princess G, VS1, AGS 0 ideal cut, 0.6ct of side stones (F-G, VS), and metal is PT900/Ir. How difficult/expensive would this be? And does it need to be done prior to setting the center stone?Thanks in advance for any and all useful input.http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/mannetti21/misc/Diamond-Rings-With-Side-Stones.jpg
Answer:
Yes, it can get motified, but it will take some extensive work. The reason is, the baskets to set these diamonds will need to be set to something. I don't know how you solve that problem. For the raw materials, you're already up to maybe a grand, or more depending on the size of diamonds. My advice would be to just return the e-ring and custom make the whole way. You can do the whole ring cheaper, and I am guaranteeing you that you will have a better result. If your return policy is still active, run, don't walk back. Then get your diamond loose from a dealer with low overhead (you should pay no more than like, 4k for that stone), and sketch something out with somoene.

Question : How do I go about getting my engagement ring reset and the side stones changed?
Right now the ring is white gold and center stone is an emerald cut diamond with small trillion cut diamonds on either side. I'd like to change the trillions to baguettes. Do I just take it to any jeweler? Will I be able to apply the trillions (let the jeweler keep them) to the cost of this process? I really have no idea how to go about this. Thanks.This is an example of what I have.http://www.diamondsourceva.com/RingsJewelry/images/Emerald%20Cut%201.15%20ct%200.26%20tcw%20tri llions.JPGThis is an example of what I want.http://allwomenstalk.com/wp-content/uploads/articles/88.jpg
Answer:
In my shop, if your trillions were well cut and looked good internally, we would have applied their wholesale value to the cost of a retail exchange for the bagguettes.What you want is a family jeweler who employees a goldsmith and stone setter and does custom work. Your request is not unusual--in fact they may be able to use your original mounting for part of the remount.In looking at the photos, it appears that the head that the center stone is set in as well as most of the shank of the ring could be used--just new heads for the bagguettes would be put in. That is what we would have done.

Question : Should I go with a Round Cut or Princess Cut for an engagement ring? Also, solitaire or with side stones?
I'm looking into purchasing an engagement ring for my girlfriend. She once mentioned she like the round, but since mentioned princess cut... which way do I go??? Is solitaire the way to go or do I get the side stones? Which style? HELP!!!!
Answer:
This is a tough question to answer, because you're going to get a ton of opinions. Here's mine:Personally, I say a Brilliant (round) cut in a classic 6-prong Tiffany setting. When you think "engagement ring" - what image comes to mind?Nothing says "engagement ring" like a beautifully set solitaire. It's a simple, timeless, elegant classic that will never, ever EVER go out of style. Remember how in the 80s marquise cuts were all the rage? Everyone had one. Now, it's princess cuts. But Asscher cuts are making a comeback. The one stone cut that's never waivered is the brilliant.If you go with a solitaire, I say no side stones on the band. You can always purchase a "jacket" for her with side stones, colored gem stones, etc. to compliment the ring later. The other real advantage to the brilliant cut is the ability to have the stone set in a 6-prong setting, whereas a princess can only be set in a 4-prong. The 2 extra prongs provide an extra "security blanket" with your stone. If a prong should get bent or broken (it happens!), the odds of losing the stone are greater with only 3 prongs securing it vs. 5 prongs.

Question : Engagement ring from the Danforth Diamond website?
I've already asked this a few times but haven't gotten any good answers. Has anyone heard of them? Do you know someone who has ordered a ring from them and what are your/their experiences? I wanna make sure they're legit before having the bf order it!http://www.danforthdiamond.com/engagement-rings-with-side-stones/6337/14K-White-Gold-Engraved-Wom an%27s-Engagement-Ring-with-Channel-Set-Diamond-Side-Stones-%28.20-ct.-tw.%29/details.htm?setting=1A lso mostly people have just been suggesting other places to buy my ring, which I already know. I'm not asking for other suggestions, just wanting to know specifically about this site. Thanks!
Answer:
Here are some tips on buying stuff, especially diamond engagement ring online:- Make sure that the website is Verisign Secured. This verifies that the business is valid.- Check for the BBB Accredited Business Rating, being "A" as the highest score.- Read reviews and testimonials from satisfied clients. You can usually see this through links provided in the business online store or BizRate.- Also consider if the type of service they offer is convenient for you: shipping, payment methods and security of accounts, etc.If Danforth has all the qualities above, chances are they're a legit online diamond store.My engagement ring was bought at ADIAMOR, since I wanted a design that is customized, specifically designed for me. They are not only an online store but they're also manufacturers. My experience to this store was excellent, I couldn't find the stone that I want in their collection, and they made an extra mile service of looking for that certain stone for me.

Question : Buying antique engagement ring and wedding band?
So my boyfriend and I went shopping and we found in an antique store a .78 carat european cut engagement ring with side stones and a matching wedding band. It was made in the 1930's.I love it and it fit perfectly, size 6 all other jewelry stores had rings in size 7 and would have to be refitted. It is way below his budget for an engagement ring and it is the whole engagement and wedding set.He wanted to get it for me right there, but he was concerned that I would have reservations about it being used, or that it might be cursed, or that it was blessed for some other couple in another lifetime.Does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not a stone should be brand new to the individual? or does it not matter?I initially asked him for a ring that was in the family, but he has not heirlooms and he figured any heirloom would go to his sister, so we went shopping for ur own.
Answer:
My sister asked for an antique wedding ring and got it. They found a perfect on at a pawn shop. Rings are not cursed, it is what you make of the marriage, not the trapping that go with the wedding. Just put a penny in your shoe for good luck. Also, something borrowed and something blue is the custom. p.s. to make yourself the most elegant bride, make your guest feel important and that you are so glad they came.

Question : Side stones or no side stones?
Just curious to know which people like better. An engagement ring with side stones or a solitaire. =)
Answer:
I prefer solitaires to a ring with side stones. I think that if you have a nice solitaire then you don't need side stones to detract from the beauty....but that's just my opinion.
