Greetings!
I've just registered after reading these pages over the past week or so, and found you all to be a wealth of information to someone very new to this field! I am just beginning the process of researching settings for a diamond I've inherited from my Grandmother. It's a lovely stone [round brilliant, just under 1ct, G colour, VVSI, Ideal cut... that's all I know] and, most importantly, very meaningful to me. My partner and I have discussed using it for an engagement ring in the near future, and I'm looking into the setting.
So... that's where the cohesion stops!! I have lots of different ideas, and thought I'd share some in case anyone has advice or tips to keep in mind.
1. I LOVE the Tiffany Legacy ring, but wonder if my center stone would be too small for a halo? Also, the Tiffany pricetag probably won't work, so I'm considering custom options. I wonder if the smaller stone would be too small for a Ritani-style delicate band?
2. I ALSO love the classic Tiffany style solitaire, with classic platinum w-band. I've noticed lots of different companies' names that do good semblances of that style -- is there one that is known as the best?
3. Or, with an heirloom diamond (it is very old), would you recommend something more antique looking? I also love this Tacori (I'll attach it if I can figure out how)... it is on their web page, but I can't find it in the lineup. Anyone recognize it?
Well, I suppose I have more questions than solutions, but wanted to join the discussion for helpful tips. Thanks so much to all!
