Very sweet of him - and I think that it will look amazing either way!Date: 1/10/2009 9:36:55 AM

Thanks, ladies!
My boyfriend wants to get the engagement ring without me knowing, so he can totally surprise me with the proposal. As a result, I''m in the process of making him a word file (at his request) with pictures and information about what I would like, and where to get it done.
I''d like a sapphire solitaire for my engagement ring, and if he decides that he''d like to go with a more modern style ring with a more modern style cut (one of the options is having Dan Stair cut one of his Barion Square Brilliants), I''d love to have one in the style of your rings.
The other option is to get a cushion cut sapphire, and have it set in a Leon Mege solitaire with double claw prongs. I love both ideas equally, so whatever he chooses, I will be perfectly happy with!
That sounds like it''s going to be gorgeous! I just love Dan''s barion cuts - I have a small pink tourmaline barion cut by him, and I''m dying for some lovely sapphire rough to have another one cut someday.Date: 1/10/2009 9:36:55 AM

LTP: I understand what you''re saying, especially since the diamonds rule around here, but... I have to say that I love the architectural quality of your bezel!Date: 1/9/2009 9:05:58 PM

Allie, thank you for asking!!!
One comment on my ring''s profile, though - I can''t see too much of my Asscher, and if I had to design it knowing what I know now, I''d go with a profile more like Neatfreak''s (slightly thicker single bezel, not the double halo), so I could see the culet much better than I can.
Thank you for saying so, VRBeauty!Date: 1/10/2009 4:21:36 PM

I think my husband did an amazing job, and the fact that I was an architecture major in college for a couple of years, and we are both huge FLW, Eichler, and Ando fans, my ring really represents our design aesthetic, and some of our future dreams. I peruse www.savewright.org nearly weekly.
Luckily, I''m married to a digital artist. When we were dating, he was desgining settings left and right. This was the one that made me drop my drink in my lap.Date: 1/10/2009 9:23:27 PM

I lived in Eichlers for many of my formative years -- maybe that explains why I''m attracted to the architecture of your ring!
Hey, Cat! I love the double bezel because it''s incredibly unique, but I can''t see a whole lot of the profile of my diamond. I really, really wish I could see more of the culet, so, yeah, in offering advice about a bezel set ring, I LOVE that you can see so much more of NF''s diamond from the side.
