New Setting for EC RHR?

[marcy]

My EC is .55 ct (about 4 x 6 mm) and is in a solitaire mounting. I have been thinking about upgrading to 3/4 ct but I think I am missing some side stones more than wanting a larger diamond. What do you think? Here are some mounts I like.

# 1 is 1/4 ctw PC
# 2 is .12 ctw RB
# 3 is 1/4 ctw bag
# 4 is 1/3 ctw RB
# 5 go for the bigger EC

 

[Dreamer_D]

Do you think those images are to scale re the ratio of the center to the sides? If they are I think I like 2 and 4 the best!

 

[marcy]

Here is a close up of the diamond and a picture of it on my hand.

 

[marcy]

Dreamer, I believe they are to scale - I was able to pick a 1/2 ct EC to show in the semi mount. Thanks for your vote. I think those are my top 2 picks as well.

 

[marcy]

These are hopefully closer to real life size.

 

[Luckyeshe]

Here''s my vote in order, 4, 1, 2, 3

I think #4 would compliment your diamond better, but I also like the look of #1.

 

[marcy]

Thank you Luckyeshe. I think the PC stones would compiment the EC but until I play with them in person it is so hard to tell.

 

[BeachRunner]

I like #4 the best. The bigger EC is always a good option as well.

Oh, decisions!

 

[marcy]

Thanks Beach Runner. They have # 4 in a larger carat version but then I'd need a bigger EC. Oooh, good idea. That of course would interfere with a few other "things" I want to get.

 

[luv2sparkle]

all those settings remind me of your ering Marcy. Which is great, but have you ever thought of a tacori 2620, in yellow gold. Someone here has one with an EC and it looks fabulous! It would be beautiful
in yellow gold.

Then again, bigger is always great!

 

[marcy]

Great idea Luv2Sparkle. I will browse through the EC thread tomorrow night and see if I can find it. I do agree bigger is always good too. Thanks for the ideas.

 

[Dreamer_D]

Yes, Luvs2sparkle makes a good point. Do you want a ring to match your e-ring or compliment it? I have always like halos around step cuts

 

[DearBuddha]

I love #4. It''s simple but stunning, and it would make a lovely ring. I would definitely change the setting you currently have though, because while it is a beautiful ring, it does look a bit like an e-ring. If that doesn''t bother you, then you''re already good to go, but if you are looking for some extra bling, go for #4!

 

[lknvrb4]

I like #4 better than any of the other ones.

 

[motownmama]

#3 & #4

 

[marcy]

Very good point, Dreamer. I guess I tend to always go for the same general look but lately I am venturing away from that (thanks to PS). I will take a look at halos for it as well.

DearBuddha, I agree that the solitaire does very much look like an ering. The only other solitaire RHR I have is an oval mint garnet and I like its simplicity but don’t have the feeling it needs an upgrade when I wear it. When I wear the EC ring I do wish there was something more to it.

Thanks you lknvrb4 and Motownmama. It seems #4 is the most popular choice.

 

[makemepretty]

I like #4 also.

 

[rhbgirl24]

Number 4, hands down. I think it will look fantastic with your stone!

 

[tyty333]

I vote #4 for more blingage (and finger coverage)!

 

[lizzyann]

I prefer #4. It really lets the EC stand out!

I am assuming you would like to keep the price lower, so I really like this one by Eternity Diamonds! The quality of their settings look good from what we have seen, and apparently they will ship you a sample to try... It would look great in yellow gold!

hands down my fav

 

[gemgirl]

I really like the look of baguettes with emerald cuts, so I''d have to say #3 but with a slightly larger center stone.
A 3/4 ct. sounds good to me .

+1 for the hao setting!

 

[PumpkinPie]

number 4!

 

[lweber]

I really am not fond of step cuts and brilliant cuts together. I like both of these styles a lot, but just not together. Therefore, I like #3 the best.

Other than that, I am partial to PC and really like #1 with the PC on point.

Good luck

 

[marcy]

Thank you Makemepretty, Rhgirl24, Tyty333, Lizzyann01, Christie, Gemgirl, SparklyOEC, Sarahbear621, Maevie and Lweber.

Dreamer, I am hoping to keep it moderately priced so I can get an upgrade on a pink sapphire too. I absolutely love the setting you found. That would look great in YG.

Gemgirl, I am kind of anxious to see how the baguettes look with it; I think they would be a nice compliment to the EC.

Lewber, when I bought the ring last May I tried it with several RB stones and did not like it. That is why I think # 1 or # 3 might not look bad with it. Of course the halo is quite intriguing.

I did an online chat with the store where I bought my diamond and they do not have the halo ring setting similar to the one Dreamer found, but they have halos that might work. I will see what they have when I go shopping. The price of the one Dreamer found is so reasonable though I wouldn’t rule it out. I can see what they charge me to mount their diamond in another vendor’s ring. Decisions, decisions.

Thanks for everyone’s help and opinions.
Marcy

My choice would be: #1, #2, #4, #3.
I really like #1.
Your EC is beautiful.
