    Our jeweler, where we are pretty sure we want to get the ring, is having a restyling event.  They said a company will being in lots of settings and we can choose and have them set it that day.  I am looking for something very specific and unique.  I was wondering if anyone has every been to one of these events, and if so, what you thought about it?

    We stumbled onto a few when we did our 'shopping.'  I too wanted something kind of unique and while there's a larger selection I was still kind of un-impressed.  I found a setting I ADORED in a store and I kept going to the re-styling events hoping to find one similar but cheaper... and I felt like all the rings were no where near as good and more expensive!  They tend to be a bit pushier too because it's a "one day" thing... 

    There are a lot more options though!

    I went to one to reset another gemstone ring that I had.  It was really fun - they had tons of settings to choose from.  I didn't feel pressured to buy, but I also wasn't looking for THE ring...just A ring.  It can't hurt to go look.  If you simply don't find what you like, no biggie.  And if you do, then great!

    Thanks for your thoughts ladies!

    KLP & MrsK - Did you see anything that was a casted setting?  They don't have prongs, they are fixed to fit one diamond.  I'm not a fan of prongs, (which makes it super difficult!)  And I'm looking for a tension set look.  I'll attach a pic for you.  

    There is one coming up here on Monday and I'm trying to send BF!  But I want it to be worth his time!

    Bring your inspiration with you... many of them have "designers" there who can custom make it too.  Have you tried a local jeweler seeing if they could custom do one for you?  

    Lol - My problem was that thins were either too plain (solitaire) or too blingy... I needed that right amount of oomph... without overkill ;-)

    I'm pretty sure I saw tension settings... it all depends on the store and designer

    Okay I will send him in!  We are thinking about custom designing through the store as well.  But in the end, he gets to decide.  I'm just giving him all the info :)  Thanks again for your help!
