When I was looking for a new setting I almost went with a threestone that had sapphire sides. And at the jeweler dude's he has one with a sapphire halo that I love, though it's a bit too paved otherwise for my lifestyle. But now I wish I'd gotten that...

NO WAY; your new reset is amazing!! Perhaps you went through a little more blood, sweat and tears than need be, but it accentuates your gorgeous famed and elusive star129 perfectly!! I think the halo will only detract from the stunning facets of your diamond!

Though if you're itching for a halo. . .I must say that a sapphire halo'd ring would be a really nice RHR/anni gift down the road. . .:graucho:

Tpf is sooo bad! It has halo owners yearning for a solitaire and solitaires yearning for halo! Lol there has been a handful of times ive browsed vatche and ritani thinking a solitaire in platinum would have been better... But then that patina! And then i think its boring thn back and forth! Haha but I love my ring! Can't have a tacori without the infamous halo!

Why can't they make jackets for engagement rings!!! We would be set!

I can't wear rings on my right hand so it would have to be another ering option lol.

I will say this, I feel like if I HAD done the other option it sure wouldn't have been this big of an ordeal. That was pretty much premade stuff. I hope the burn of all this drama wears off someday. The stone I am happy with. The frame holding it still makes me sick.

HAH! No kidding!!!!

I have A ring with a "patina" and really it's not even that. I just wear it for banging around in and haven't bothered with polishing. The longest any of my rings besides that have every gone without a polishing was a year and even then there was no patina. I think that patina thing is so overblown. It's so easily fixed.

Uh oh......Halo Fever!!!!!

I will say that one of the reasons I requested micropave on my e-ring band is to NOT deal with the patina. My previous rings had plain platinum, but with wear became dull. Since my new ring is covered with diamonds, I won't have to worry about scratches, patina, etc......just pure sparkle.

You people with patina must use your hands with your rings on or something. Lol the most my left hand picks up with rings on is my cell or my purse. NEVER my keys. EVER. I take rings off to use my hand!

I don't abuse my rings. Never.

But I don't baby them either. Jewellery is meant to be worn- especially the wedding rings.

I'm careful, but not overly obsessive.

Bottom line, I love looking at my hand & just seeing sparkle/brilliance.

I've already had my "thank goodness I picked white gold" moments. Im not the most graceful person and I completely tripped on my way to work and scraped the bottom of the band. I always forget I'm wearing my ring too so Ive admittedly hit a few things.

I can understand patina for that great worn look but I'm such a worry wort that I all my things shiney and new looking. I'm just hoping I can keep this white! My white gold earrings are never changed and they are whiter than ever for 6 years.

Ame - Oooo . . . I like the idea of having two e-rings to switch in and out!! That means less wear and tear (not that your rings have undergone any :p) but I agree that once you have an amazing center stone, all you have to do is switch it up with the settings and it's like having a brand new ring!!!

I'm sorry that you still feel that way about your ring. Hopefully looking at the beauty of your diamond set in your gorgeous setting will ease the feelings you have towards it. It's like the phrase "guns don't kill people, people kill people" - it wasn't your setting that gave you grief but the people behind it!!

whoops - tPF is a bad, bad, bad place!!! I have an immense wishlist now. My DF mentioned that in the beginning when we first started dating (I wasn't on tPF that much) I wasn't "into jewelry" but now I'm a total jewelry fiend. I felt a little bad when I heard him say that but he has to understand that people evolve! tPF just accelerated the inevitable ;)

Contessa - Change is always good! I think it keeps things spicy! I'm sure your new setting will satiate your desire for a loong long time!!

I'm the same, Khol - I was in Florida just last week and realized it was EXACTLY 2 years since I first found TPF on a hunt for a "turquoise clover bracelet" (which ended up being Van Cleef of course, a name I'd never heard of! LOL)... before then I had a lovely e-ring and some Tiffany silver pieces ... I SHUDDER to think how much damage I've done since being on this forum!!! When I walked into the VCA boutique and inquired, the single motif pendant ($1500) from VCA gave me STICKER SHOCK. And you know what I've been up to since then!!! God, so bad... I BLAME YOU ALL!!!

Hi Kohl, may I just say your ring is absolutely beautiful (not that you haven't been told that at least a hundred time before judging by the length of this thread). After browsing the Tiffany website I did a google search for the Tiffany Soleste and this thread came up. I was actually looking for the soleste ring with the clear diamond in the centre but your ring is stunning - much more individual. The soleste doesn't even come with a yellow centre in the UK (I am from Northern Ireland) - I will have to make a trip to Tiffany to investigate when I visit Florida in August (plus Tiffany is waaaay more expensive in the UK). Anyway I just wanted to say thanks for posting all the beautiful pictures of your ring.

PS after I was looking at your thread I had a look around PurseForum and decided to register :-)
