Hi all! I'm hoping you can all give me feedback on CADs for my ering upgrade. I posted about the stone here:
[URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/help-me-figure-out-if-this-is-an-oec-dude-or-a-gem.199446/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/help-me-figure-out-if-this-is-an-oec-dude-or-a-gem.199446/[/URL]
Since then I've bought the loose stone and had it appraised with GemLab, they said it had a lovely cut that's I color and SI1 (but eye-clean). It's tucked away in a safe deposit box otherwise I'd post more pics. It came in at 1.34 with these measurements:
6.84 x 7.11 x 4.29 mm
depth: 61.4%
Table: 47.8%
Crown height 18.1
Crown angle 35.1
Pav Depth 40.1
Pav Angle 41.3
On to the setting. I really wanted a setting that celebrated my old cut. Tacori-ish "vintage" settings just didn't do it for me and I had a hard time finding an antique setting that I liked and could accommodate my stone. First two are pics of my inspiration settings and then the CADS. The CADS do seem bulky, but my largest dislike is the gallery. I want a pretty gallery, but this doesn't do it for me. The setting will be hand engraved.
So, good people, what do your eagle eyes see? What alloy would you recommend (my wedding ring is a 18k yellow gold eternity band)? And any ideas for a different gallery?
Thank you!!!!
