So my plan was to buy a setting from David Klass, and while I'm sure I would be happy with the eventual results, his communication has been pretty crappy, and I'd really like to have a finished ring before my bday (end of july). Given that we havent even started CADs, that's unlikely to happen with him, when I wait days or even over a week in between messages. So I'm thinking that I'm just going to buy a ready made setting online, and I need some help finding something I like. I just want to be engaged already!!
Here are my requirements:
-budget - $850
-setting needs to be nickel free and white (preferably palladium, as platinum is out of our budget except in rare circumstances)
-for a round stone (.69)
-very thin, half round shank (2mm or less preferably)
-cathedral setting
-traditional from top down view, but something interesting including diamonds from profile view. I don't want a ring that looks exactly like a million other cathedral solitaires.
I've been looking at ArtCarved a lot bc I love that they have so many styles in palladium, but all of their rings are just a little too "off" for me. Either I'll love them from the top, and from the side theyre totally plain, or I'll like them from the side, but from the top their too thick or too inventive.
Please help guys! We started this ring search back in March, and never in a million years did I think it would take this long !!
