Hi,
I've just been asked to help a friend find their engagement ring setting. So I'm looking for an antique feeling (could be second hand, could be a repro) split shank, prong setting with diamonds to house a medium blue emerald cut sapphire around the 7x5mm mark (not picked yet but I've got some good options that I'm looking into from vendors I've worked with before). Its all about the setting for my friend anyway, She points out lots of things she likes about settings but didn't really notice the centre stone. I showed her a ton of different colored blue sapphires in different shapes and sizes and didn't really have much of a preference beyond medium sized, medium blue and emerald cut.
My personal taste is is usually very modern and plain so please help me find a great setting for my friend or at least steer me towards some places that would have something I like, as I have no idea where to start.
My plan is to hunt down some options then get input from my friend to help narrow the search. A complete vintage ring would be fine as would me running round pulling all the pieces together from seperate places.
Thanks in advance
