I've heard two different stories from two different jewelers. My engagement ring is white gold and white gold wedding rings are right in my budget. Am I more prone to loose a stone from pave setting white gold vs. platinum?

I’m trying to find ones that look kinda like these I guess…

and those appear to be micro paves… and I can’t decide between which of these two sites to order from. obviously I’m not spending hundreds of dollars on earrings like Chris Brown probably did so these are both CZ pairs…

2) http://www.trendtogo.com/product-p/jf925mpe003e.htm

Anyway, can you tell which ones would be of better quality?

Or just… which ones do you think look better/closer to the ones in the Chris Brown pics… I saw some guy with a pair like those on the other day, his were blue though… and it reminded me to start looking for a pair of my own…

Thanks

my boyfriend and I just got my engagement ring and today we went to a couple jewelers to ask about cleaning, they told us we should have it rhodium plated which I know makes it look brand new and amazing but my band is a pave setting like this: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/files/519%20Dvatche%20half%20pave%20solitaire%20band.gif
or

and we're a little worried about it ruining the setting or diamonds in it so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

Thank you

Ok, I really suck at this whole searching for things on the internet deal, so if anyone could help, it’d be great.!

I want a ring like this:

BUT, i only want one row of diamonds around the center stone, and I do’nt necessarially want diamonds on the band. Yellow gold would be preferable, but not necessary.

Thank you so much! =)

Approximately. From time of placing order to time of pick up. Bought the stone already. What are we talking here roughly? A week? A month?

Not too intricate – single diamond in the middle, a few pave stones on each side. To be more specific: the Tiffany Novo, just not from "Tiffany"
This is the ring:

Please don't answer with "a long time" or "I don't know" or anything else that proves to me that you are borderline retarded. Real answers only please. Don't waste my time.

First i would like to know what they use to make such kinds of models? i have photographs of rings and i would like to make a model of it like this. also i would need to animate it as showns. what programs are needed to make this?

Ok. I very much so enjoy the unique. For my wedding set I want something DIFFERENT. Something beautiful and timeless. Something that just leaps at me and says “Im the one!”. I thought I found it on bluenile.com but now that my boyfriend’s been asking if I’m sure it’s the one…I’m not anymore! It’s vintage, unique but simple…and beautiful. Do you like the pave band or smooth band better? It’s a .7 carat center diamond….does it look proportional? Should it be bigger/smaller?

Give me an opinion.
Tell me where you got your ring.
What it looks like.
If you’ve used Blue Nile…what was your experience like?
Any suggestions of somewhere else for us to look for a ring?

Thank you thank you!

Here's a link to the Blue Nile site…let me know if it works

P.S. Price is not something I'm concerned about, we're not wealthy…the ring is simple yet beautiful…just like our relationship.
One last link….

http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-engagement-ring-platinum_7814?filter_id=1&collection_id=236

you cant see the other options with this link but if you want to search the site…it's the one that looks just like this but with a smooth band. And the wedding band is a plain platinum pave band.

I'm super frugal and love a great deal! My boyfriend likes to spend money a little more than me. He told me the other night that he's been saving up to buy my ring… he wants to spend about 10K. (traditional 2 – 3 months… stupid)

I would rather have a small engagement ring and use the other 9K on our wedding, honeymoon, anything but a ring!

We have to pay for our own wedding and I think it's silly to spend so much on a rock! I don't want to hurt his pride though.

What are your thoughts on a smaller half carat ring in a pave setting?

I don't know what other carat size people wear. I don't wear any kind of jewelry either.
Aiden, either you can't read or you don't comprehend what you're reading.

I want a smaller ring, I don't know how that is being unappreciative.

My boyfriend and I have been shopping for engagement rings recently, and I found the ring of my dreams. It's a princess cut, three-stone ring with a pave band. But I've heard that traditionally you recieve a solitaire for and engagement ring, and three stones are more for anniversaries. Are three-stone rings popular engagement rings, or should I look at solitaires?

My fiance’s mother passed along her wedding band to him to give to me for my wedding band. Her husband had passed away many years ago and was so sweet to give us a band with 5 larger diamonds in it. However, they don’t match the single strip of pave diamonds on my engagement ring, which is what I’m looking to have happen. So, I would need to have the 5 larger diamonds broken down into smaller diamonds. I’m wondering if this can be done, if anyone has had this done, and if it is worth it (how much did it cost to have them broken down). Thanks for your time and any help you can provide me with!
