I love bezel set diamonds! My side stones are semi- bezel set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring/page/2#post-661084 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:07:37 +0000 2PeasinaPod 661084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No...DH spent a ton of time choosing my ring. Not only is it sentimental to me, but it means so much that he took that much care in picking it out that I would never change the setting. I'd love to get an anniversary band for the other side though! ;o) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring/page/2#post-660929 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 10:17:35 +0000 Alivoo01 660929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Hubby designed my wedding set and I absolutely love it! I'm too attached to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring/page/2#post-660483 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 07:38:00 +0000 winniebee 660483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! It's a one of a kind setting (artisan crafted) -- round yellow diamond bezel setting set in platinum and gold. Sounds weird. My husband went out on a limb with it and I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring/page/2#post-660391 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 06:15:40 +0000 tequiero21 660391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: lol@kept the man!</p> <p>@chopsuey119: ugh so annoying! My ring turns around all the time!!! Never thought to get a full eternity ring! Great idea!</p> <p>Mine is simple and I don't need to change it. My hubby keeps saying lets upgrade my ring, but I'm happy with my rings. Means a lot to me that he saved up for this ring! Although, I can definitely see the benefit of a full eternity ban and now, am seriously considering it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring/page/2#post-660014 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:19:38 +0000 Meridian 660014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No need to re-set! DH got me the exact setting I wanted, phew :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring/page/2#post-658715 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:35:11 +0000 Pirouette 658715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: @chopsuey119: Ha, i have one of each! my engagement ring is half eternity (prong set) but it is a very unique setting, and the only matching wedding ring I could find was full eternity. i thought it would bother me to have them be different, but it's actually perfect because my wedding ring spins and spins while the engagement ring stays in place because of the weight of the center diamond! the only frustrating part is that the full eternity band can't be resized, and only came in 1/2 sizes (i'm a 1/4 size smaller than the ring). but it probably means i can wear it while pregnant, i hope! and the engagement ring keeps it in place.</p> <p>And no, i can't see myself ever changing my setting, i love my rings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring/page/2#post-658713 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:34:41 +0000 PrincessBaby 658713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I died when I first laid eyes on my setting on the Tacori website and when I actually tried it on in person, that was IT. I see lots of beautiful rings, but nothing that I ever love more than mine:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring/page/2#post-658655 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:00:45 +0000 MrsH 658655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never, I love what he picked and even if I didn't the sentiment would make me keep it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring/page/2#post-658637 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:49:42 +0000 Mrs.Someone 658637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't ever want to, but unfortunately this decision was made for me while we were engaged :( I dropped my ring and the diamond became loose, so I took it in for a repair. Without telling me, they replaced the whole setting with one that was lower. I was really upset and took it back, wanting one that at least looked the same. Its still not exactly the same (diamond is higher), but its at least pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-658631 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:41:01 +0000 cascademom 658631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: My husband hated the basket setting and chose my setting (by combining two). We got my wedding band at another jewelry store where I want to get my pave birthstone bands from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657482 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:37:59 +0000 anbanan15 657482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. I love my rings way too much!! I have a HOF square halo with a half eternity band for my e-ring and two half eternity wedding bands on either side. I just couldn't part with the set!</p> <p>After DH proposed he said one day we could always upgrade the center stone if I wanted. I said I would want an entire new ring because I wouldn't want to mess with the original ring he picked out for me. </p> <p> @chopsuey119: I have another ring DH got me before we were engaged which is a full eternity. I love it and always wanted a full eternity band, but it doesn't fit well and I cannot get it resized to the odd size I need (5 1/4). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657453 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:27:29 +0000 mrs. wagon 657453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: that's gorgeous!! yeah, with my new re-set we actually paid extra for a high basket setting to ensure that my w-ring sat flush. Basically our jeweler put a basket setting onto a regular ring instead of modifying an existing basket setting ring. </p> <p>With my original set, my gap was about 4x the size of your gap. :( and the e-ring by itself looked ridiculous. Like someone took a bite out of the side! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657449 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:26:09 +0000 MsLipGloss 657449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Yay for happy endings! </p> <p>My bands can sit aalllllmost flush, but I like a slight separation between them. </p> <p>@chopsuey119: Totally! (I will know you by your blingy wave - hahah!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657441 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:24:50 +0000 cascademom 657441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I have a high set diamond setting and it still doesn't sit flush, but I love the tiny gap it creates. </p> [attach=1889/13/mk0qxf.337x600.ring.jpg] [attach=1889/13/mk0qxg.550x400.wedrings.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657429 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:22:39 +0000 chopsuey 657429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: hahahah you crack me up. Lets hang out sometime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657428 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:22:15 +0000 mrs. wagon 657428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've re-set mine twice!!! I do miss the sentimentality of my original e-ring, BUT I was a crazy control freak back then (still am, ahem) and basically chose the setting myself. Of course Wagon Sr. liked it too but he had nothing to do with it. (He researched and chose the stone.) </p> <p>When it was time to get wedding rings, nothing would fit flush against my e-ring because of the low basket setting, and I had to cut into my e-ring's setting to make the rings sit flush. I had a custom w-ring made to match (my e-ring had straight baguette sidestones, so my w-ring had 3 straight baguettes). When we got the rings back THEY DIDN'T SIT FLUSH. The jeweler explained that there was no way they could cut further into the e-ring without compromising the setting. So for a few years I wore the rings with a gap between them AND my e-ring having a huge dent cut into it (think halfway under the center stone). I was so unhappy. </p> <p>Finally we went back to our jeweler (who is a really good family friend) and he set all 5 straight baguettes into one band, my w-ring, and he set my center stone into a solitaire. I was over the moon about my w-ring (it's seriously unique and beautiful) but I was never super thrilled about the simplicity of the solitaire next to the w-ring. </p> <p>Last year, we saved and scrimped and created a budget for my re-set (birthday, mother's day, push present, 7th anniversary present, and christmas present!) and we finally re-set my e-ring into a 3 stone. I absolutely love it and I finally have my dream e-ring and w-ring!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657427 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:22:05 +0000 cascademom 657427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my rings and the setting, so there's no way I would change the setting on them. I want to get pave birthstone bands and an anniversary band eventually. I have a princess cut diamond. I wish I researched diamond cuts more because I've taken a liking to emerald and asscher cuts lately. Maybe I could get a right hand ring in one of those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657424 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:21:18 +0000 MsLipGloss 657424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: We have a similar timeline, i.e., we were engaged 10/2009 and married 11/2010. My e-ring has definitely yellowed on the bottom, but the top half of the ring looks okay. And there is totally a difference between the color of the bottom of my e-ring and my wedding band. :) </p> <p>I am pretty sure platinum is heavier than white gold, but my bands are really thin so I don't think it would make a huge difference in the weight? *shrug* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657397 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:16:29 +0000 MsLipGloss 657397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: lol! I agree, the most important part of the ring is the man who gave it to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657395 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:16:24 +0000 LindsayInNY 657395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: That's the main reason I regret not getting full eternity bands!</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: We got engaged 8/09, married 9/10. My rings were redipped in 9/11 or so? The fact that I had worn the e-ring a year longer made the color difference a little more noticeable. They're starting to yellow again but it's not as noticeable so I just leave it be. I worry platinum would be significantly heavier though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657382 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:14:28 +0000 MsLipGloss 657382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: If I trusted myself more, I would totally have gone for a full . . . I would love to be able to flash some bling while waving hello/goodbye, giving a high five, etc. Silly, yeppers!, but I thought about hand/arm movement with regard to my rings. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657369 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:13:00 +0000 MsLipGloss 657369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: Ahhh - good to know (I have white gold too - and mine need to be redipped)! And yep, we sound like ring twins . . . the only difference being that my eternity bands are prong set. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657368 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:12:47 +0000 chopsuey 657368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: hahah! my rings always turn so I needed to get a full or I'd go crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657354 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:09:22 +0000 LindsayInNY 657354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: You just described my ring! 6 prong with half eternity channel setting for e-ring and half eternity channel wedding. I thought full eternity would get too banged up with hitting things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657348 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:08:12 +0000 LindsayInNY 657348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I think the jeweler's position was that the cost to change to platinum will end up more or about the same as keeping it in white gold and just having it redipped every so often (it's only been dipped once so far). And just the overall concerns with platinum being softer and possibly not as secure for the size of my ring? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657345 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:06:13 +0000 MsLipGloss 657345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I have a half eternity band (with a 6 prong solitaire setting) for my e-ring, and my wedding band is a half eternity band too (I thought I was too clutzy for the 3/4 or full eternity - lol!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657343 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:04:45 +0000 MsLipGloss 657343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: Out of curiosity, why not (re recommendation to not change setting to platinum)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657340 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:04:01 +0000 chopsuey 657340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have and I would again!<br /> I have an eternity band and a regular solitaire e-ring..<br /> Have thought about getting a matching eternity setting for my 5th anniversary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-get-a-new-setting-your-wedding-or-engagement-ring#post-657322 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:59:45 +0000 kiddosc 657322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm too sentimental to ever trade in my rings or to change them significantly. I have just a plain white gold band as a wedding band though and would like to add a diamond band to the mix for a 5 or 10 year anniversary. </p>
