Need help finding a setting..

[bizgk]

Hi,

I am trying to find a diamong setting but am not having much luck. My girlfriend is an architect, and I know she would want an uncommon design.

I found this nice setting from Niessing that I think she would love (she likes off center designs, and the flat top would be appealing to her I believe), but the setting alone is well over $4,000.

Does anyone have any advice on where I might be able to find similar types of settings, for under $2k?

Thanks.

Here is a picture of another setting I believe she would like, although this one only comes in Titanium, and I am looking for Platinum.

Thanks.

When it comes to settings you better make "sure" of what she wants.
Settings can be a tricky thing. If you are going for an "unusual" setting save yourself the agony and get her .02.
It has even been suggested here to get the stone have it set in an inexpensive plain setting and let her choose the "final resting spot."
Good luck.

Thanks. I might be a bit out of it tonight, but what are you talking about with the ".02."?

That would stand for 2 cents!

yes, that's an unusual setting--just make sure!

also, there recently was a long thread about Niessing tension settings and lost stones that you probably should read before purchasing (at least i would want to if i were you). search "niessing" and you'll find it.

Id go shopping with her to get a feel for what she likes. She might surprise you. Mines a pretty simple solitaire and Im an artsy fartsy.

I might be out of it tonight. Please define artsy fartsy.
