Bezelling a marquise?

I like how flattering the NS orientation is but it just reads too “engagement ring” to me. And I wouldn’t want it competing too much with any engagement ring I’d get.

This E/W ring is mine. I had it made by Leibish & Co where I purchased the yellow marquise. They did a wonderful job and I love the ring.

Oh that’s your ring! I’ve always admired it :D
 
Maybe a stupid question but can a collete setting have v prongs for the pointy ends or will that look too weird?

They can totally be pointy. Here's a setting by Gem Concepts that demonstrates that well.

Gorgeous!
Though I meant if they can have v prongs like on the ends of my current ring.

I like the way they do three prongs in a row on these examples. I think this is what you might want to do if you want that v prong protection effect

Not to hijack, but wow! This is gorgeous. :love:[/QUOTE]

Agreed!
Took me awhile to realize that’s Yoram site!

Also just adding these photos cause I’m proud of how they turned out! @pearaffair I think would be happy to know I literally have worn hazel everywhere since getting her! Hehe. I figured I need to enjoy her before my jeweler returns next week and I turn her over for her make over adventure.

Simply divine! :love:

Nice find!
I can’t decide if I want the v prongs or not just for aesthetic reasons. I love the look of all the uniform prongs on the collete. Hmmmm

Me too I prefer it without it

Holy shi*t those pictures are AMAZING!!!!! :-o:o:love::love::love:

You know, I am actually really really REALLY happy to know that you're wearing hazel like crazy! I only wore her out of the house one and a half times!!!! Once to the playground (haha sooooo not the right scene) and once to my friend's tea party, which was cool, but then I put it into my purse halfway through because I felt so weird and conspicuous. Funny, right?

But she looks simply DIVINE on you and your fingers are even more slender than mine so hazel looks MASSIVE in the very best way! I'm so glad she has a happy new home!

I LOVED this emerald(?) pin until I saw it had a funny-looking man carved into it... hahahah

I second neil's suggestion of the little groups of three prongs! It seems like a really good way to protect your points without the severe look of Vs
 
@pearaffair
Thanks! I’ve gotten many compliments on her! Although also many questions about if I’m engaged. Hopefully that happens less after reset.
 
Just dropped her off with my jeweler. Along with my ACA bangle to get sized down. I feel so naked!
Ugh. The wait time is going to be so horrible but she’s optimistic she can finish it before Christmas. Yah!

Yes. I know exactly what you mean. I dropped my ring offs at Thursday to have something checked and they told me it would be ready on Friday. On Friday they told me it would be ready on Monday. Today, Monday, they said tomorrow! Yours will be excruciating I’m sure! I’ll pray Christmas and no later for you!

Thanks! Hehe I took some good bye pics before I had to hand her over...

The wait sucks but I’m SO pumped to see how much the 18k yellow gold amps the color in the diamond! She’s a fancy after all!

Ahhh! Amidst all your other projects, I almost forgot about hazel! Can't wait to see it!

Haha yes. Hazel will definitely be an alternate ering! I’ll just have to wear with a band or a little plastic sizing thing since I made her a 5.5 so I could have the option of wearing it on my middle finger too.
 
9E88801A-8F7B-4F80-AA7A-91887568C1DD.jpeg She sent me a wax which she’s going to cast and then add prongs to. Ahhh. Waiting feels like torture.

What do you guys think about doing a satin finish on the 18k yellow gold?
 
This is going to be amazing! Did you eventually decide on satin finish or no? I like the idea personally...
