Chrono, how does this setting compare to an LORG? Just curious. I'm assuming you have an LOGR, maybe not. I haven't seen any person, and wonder if they measure up to this setting.
A very odd question: I purchased an LOGR several months ago to set one of my cobalt spinels. I have to say it is worth it for the price I paid. However a direct comparison is not possible for several reasons:
1. LOGR is mass produced, WF ring is 100% custom made (CAD, wax and the whole 9 yards)
2. LOGR has generic diamonds, WF has branded A Cut Above diamonds which are cut to precise measurements for maximum light performance
3. LOGR is white gold, WF is platinum

Still, I can say few things about both: both settings are worth every penny paid. When you look at the dollar value and end product, both are a good value for what they are and for the obvious reasons stated above. The WF ring is heirloom quality and I paid a price for the excellent workmanship, special materials and of course, the experience. With the LOGR, I paid a LOT less but for that price, I received something of quality that is unexpected for what I paid. It's not on the same level as the WF ring but do I care if I paid 1/10th of the price? Also, in terms of diamond quality, I consider the ACAs a maximum of 10. Using that scale, I'm happy to note that the LOGR upgraded full cut VS melees are somewhere around 7 or so on the same scale.
 
Wowzers! breathtaking!
 
WOW! That is one amazing ring. The only thing that would make it better (at least to me) is seeing it on my wifes finger
