When I started looking for an engagement ring, I went straight to Tiffany''s (web site) and fell in love with the Etoile. Thinking that it was best not to be rash, I spent the next few months scouring the internet for other possibilities, other half-bezel settings, other diamonds, etc., and now I find myself coming to the conclusion that no one makes the ring so well as Tiffany''s does. Maybe it''s just the slight details of the copyrighted design, but every other half-bezel pales in comparison.
The ring, so far as I understand it, gets pretty bulky at 1 carat, so most buyers wind up setting a .5 carat or less in the ring. Of course, with the money you save doing that, you might be able to afford the glorious Etoile wedding band to match.
Have any of you bought this set? or do you know someone who has? I would love to hear from anyone about the combined price of the Etoile solitaire + band, what size diamond you decided to go with, etc.
I always enjoy reading this forum - and benefit greatly from the knowledge!
