Setting poll for AVR

[yennyfire]

Add me to the VC camp! I love the setting and it would totally compliment your gorgeous stone. You've lived that setting for quite a while and the fact that you haven't wavered at all says a lot to me. Go for it!

 

[hathalove]

Okay I'm in the minority here. But I think what you have is amazing! Exactly as is. I like the SS band too but would probably pick a different SS band with your vatche or the smaller version. I've been seeing so many beauties on their Instagram.

If I had to choose between the two new settings I would say the VC. Still loving what you have more though!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I love these responses! luv2sparkle says get a SS band! Yenny says get the VanC set that you have loved for a long time! And hathalove says keep what you have because it looks great as is! This is why I have been paralyzed!

Thank you all! I am glad there are likes for all of them!

Hi Diamondseeker,

I am joining the *small* minority group - love your ring just as it is! It's classic & iconic.

Adding a SS french cut would be divine

Looking forward to your new set!

 

[Cachette]

I voted VC but I honestly do love your stone in its current setting.

Good luck!

Hello DS

I understand the paralysis! I love the VC set; it's such a little masterpiece, I think you would be delighted every time you looked at it.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the responses! I am at least glad to know if I delay the decision that some of you like it as it is or with a SS band!

Baby nurse! I think you must be able to totally relate to this dilemma!!!

I think life is too short not to try something you have loved for a long time. Is it possible to have settings made in sterling silver and non-diamonds to see what they look like/ feel on your hand? I couldn't wait a whole year just wondering, you are much more patient than me!

Personally, I love your solitaire as is. But I think you wrote this thread because you're ready for change. Why not think of the change as on-going, because nothing is permanent and it is okay to change your mind later. You are worth it. Splurge.

Happy Mother's day, all the moms and grandmoms out there!!

I have been waiting to see which setting you were going to choose for your gorgeous stone! It is such a show stopper, that no matter what setting you choose, it will look beautiful.

The only problem is, with the price of these rings, they'd have to be permanent! That is the main reason I have been afraid to commit! I will try to embrace your reasoning, though!

Happy Mother's Day to you, too!

Thanks so much! I think you can well relate to this dilemma, too! Glad you finally ended up with the one you love!

The old world charm of the VC seems to lend itself to a beautiful and sizable AVR. In addition there is something so complimentary about the VC band on the finger which means it's this one that gets my vote. I voted for the BK one last night, it's a wonder what a good night's sleep can do for you! Having said this I do love the simplicity of your Vatche with the legacy band.

 

[Maisie]

Another vote for the VC setting. The perfect ring for your perfect diamond

 

[woofmama]

I'm going to suggest another setting which I think will let your gorgeous diamond be the star of the show! I love it in the solitaire & think the other settings are beautiful but might take away from your AVR.

This setting from Erika Winters would be gorgeous and I think it would go well with your legacy band

I love solitaires. Given that the AVR, to me, has a very vintage feel I think with the detail that VC has, it will go nicely with the legacy, slightly better than the Bev k.

I just saw the post from woofmamma- yummy!! I would vote for that one, if that was one that you lean towards, otherwise the VC.

Okay, you'd make a good politician since you like all the options! I guess I should have enable the vote change option!

That is a beautiful setting! I am just afraid it is too much like the Legacy band and if they are different sizes (height, width, or stone size), it might not work well together. I really want some side details this time rather than a simple solitaire, too.

I wouldn't use the Legacy band with the BK ring. I know it is confusing! The BK e-ring setting would go with the round/baguette band either by BK or SS. I agree that the Legacy band would work better with the VanC ring. Thanks!!!

Thanks, Sharon! It certainly is nice to contemplate not spending the money! There are always other things on the wishlist!

I understand the "list".

Notwithstanding, I think you have many rings that are ornate, branded, and very beautiful. They are RHR's, certainly. But if you replace this, you will have no solitaire but another complicated setting of similar "type".

Moreover, your stone does not "need" anything. Sometimes, less is more. JMO.

cheers--Sharon

 

[Gypsy]

I voted for VC. Nothing else compares and your Legacy band will be beautiful with it!

This. The VC is perfect for your AVC. And for you. I think it will look fantastic with your larger stine too.

Well, that was and is a consideration. I do have the RHR's, and I don't want to overdo that style of ring. Hmmm...I am remembering why I just took a break from trying to make this decision!

I think I will end up with this setting eventually. The question is whether I will put this stone in it or something else.... It was funny that I posted a pic that happened to have this setting in it (showing diamond colors), and it started me thinking about it again!

 

[ArielleB]

VC!!! AVs and VC are a perfect match. And it would look beautiful with your Legacy band.

 

[Elysian]

True, settings are expensive, but... you could always sell to recoup some of the cost. For instance, if you ever want to part with your Legacy band, let me know! I'd be happy to help!

 

[Gypsy]

So here are my thoughts in detail.

You have your Vatche. It's not going anywhere. And you've been wearing it for over a year.

If you still want a different setting, then there's something about what you already have that isn't working for you.

Remember, a deal isn't a deal unless you get exactly what you want.

And I think you want the VC.

As for the Beverly K. It's very similar to the VC. It's has the wrap right next to the center stone. And then another stone after it. I think the most attractive thing about this setting is the affordability for you. But to me it looks like an inexpensive copy (not exact, but you get what I mean) of the VC.

All of which tells me the VC is the right setting for you. Plus I think the Width of the VC is a better match for your stone.

I think so too. I voted to keep what you have. And like you said DS, more money saved for other things!

This is an interesting consideration as well - could she have hit the proverbial nail on the head?

 

[diamondseeker2006]

So many great points everyone! Thank you all! The reasoning is really there to do the VC or to leave it as it is (with maybe a new band ). Gypsy, you are right about not buying a cheap imitation. I was really thinking more of using the design and having someone make it because it would need that if I were able to get a smaller SS band.

Funny but I looked back and your thread last night and I still truly LOVE your AVR in the Vatche with your French cut band! I will see mom2boys in early June and will get to try on her Victor Canera French cut band, and that may very well turn into an additional option.

The reality is, I like all the options for different reasons! Having them all would solve this whole thing!

 

[Mayk]

I know your struggles... I've been all over the place with how to reset...

But with that said... I think I agree with Yenny. You've been consistent on VC... That will be my vote.

 

[pyramid]

I voted VC but also with the VC band.

The SS band in my opinion is not worth $9k.

 

[Harpertoo]

while I was really struck by the VC setting - esp. in yellow gold - I would keep the solitaire as is and change up the bands.
I love the versatility of a simple solitaire with your gorgeous diamond.
