Speaker: How do I pick a setting to compliment the center stone?
Ronnie Mervis: Well, the center stone is a most important part of it. Shape is an important issue and it s something that we should take into account in determining what matches the center. If typically it s going to be what is known today as a Three-Stone Ring or also known as past, present, and future or yesterday, today, and tomorrow. You need to match the shape of the side stones to the center. So, if the center is an oval you would have two ovals on the sides. If the center is a round, you would have two rounds on the side, and so it goes through all the shapes, but you don t have to do that all the time because not every ring is a so-called Three-Stone Ring.
Once again, I just go with anything that pleases you and if you are not the expert and most of our clients are not, then don t try and become one. Go to a reputable jeweler, go to somebody who has a big selection, who have people on hand, who do this for a living like our professionals, and they will advise you, they will help you make the selection, and even if you let you do it in your own, they will certainly guide you and say, no, no don t do that; that is wrong. This shape ring, the shape of diamond does not look in that setting, and they will guide you in the right direction.
