I have started to look at settings for a stone that is about .75, G, SI2 and I am feeling overwhelmed. I would like to stay around $500. I know I want the setting and band to be thin 2.0 - 2.5mm for a more delicate/dainty look. I was thinking just a white gold solitaire Tiffany type setting (usually the most inexpensive found on all of the websites like Whiteflash, James Allen, etc). The problem I am finding is that I only like the expensive solitaire settings like the REAL Tiffany or the more simple Mark Morrell settings. They look more like they are softly hugging the diamond, whereas the cheaper ones look kind of hard and pointy. I think it is that I like more rounded smooth looking prongs. Are there cheaper options with this look out there? Any ideas?
Then, the other part of me whats a more decorative band and setting. I found a very pretty set at a B&M store for a good price with itty bitty diamonds on the top and the two sides. My concern there is that I am very active and I do not want to have to worry about the little decorative stones falling out or attracting dirt.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
