It really suits your hand. Very feminine with that old world charm.

Wow! It''s beautiful!!!

That was FAST! You beat all of us who were looking at the other setting! I honestly love your setting! It makes me have second thoughts because I so love antique settings, too! Gosh, I hope I don''t change my mind every month...it could get really expensive!

 

[DMBsGirl]

lovely and unique!

 

[mrssalvo]

SWOON!

I've been looking at a similar Vatche setting (w/out the halo-esque rim) and I think this may have sold me on it

ETA: don't mean to hijack, but this is the Vatche setting I'm looking at... are the specs similar to yours (width-wise at least)? I'm having trouble committing sight-unseen--I feel like 3.3mm is too wide for my taste, but if the specs are the same as yours I don't think I need to worry about that!

The more I see the bigger fan I become of Vatche. Such graceful lines.

With regard to the 3.3 mm - I think that means the width at the top next to the stone which tapers to less width at the shoulders of the ring.
I suppose it would have to be taken in context with the width of the stone to get a sense of the overall look.

jayrenay, I LOVE the outline of that halo!! Very unique, enjoy!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Yes, it was fast! I went to the Vatche website to compare them to H. Levi. I found a ring on the site that I thought I might really like. So, we packed up the kids and carted them to Santa Monica (about 1 hour away from us) to look at it. I loved the ring I went to see, but when I put it on it just didn''t do it for me -- my life story. So, the jeweler showed me the ring I ended up getting. I didn''t like it as much, my husband didn''t like it as much and my daughter hated it. Then I stuck it on my finger and fell in love. It''s just so weird how a ring can look so different on your hand compared to in your hand. It makes my diamond look huge. The whole thing is just so sparkly that from afar it looks like a giant square-ish diamond, which satisfies my need for a cushion! LOL

I think you need to get an antique RHR so that you''ll have that beautiful H. Levi, that awesome Memoire AND something antique! Can''t wait for your pics!

I''ve never actually seen the specs on my ring, but Tanuki is right, it it''s 3.3mm anywhere it''s at the very top and then tapers. The over all look of mine is very thin. The ring you''re considering is beautiful and I understand being hesitant about buying sight unseen. The good news is Vatche rings are very beautiful, so you can feel confident there! Very much more delicate than in pictures.

I wish someone would get that setting because I am betting it is gorgeous! It is only 1.8mm below the shoulders, so this is by no means a wide ring. But I love how the prongs swoop up to the diamond. I think it is beautiful!

~~Jay, it''s really beautiful!! I love that it is unique, and classy!!!

 

[jw]

Jayrenay, that is simply stunning! I was wonderring if you had changed your mind. Your ring is just gorgeous!

 

[kcoursolle]

[jfo]
