Hello all,
I'm hoping for opinions on some settings I've been looking at online. Unfortunately I haven't seen any in person.
I have a 1ct AVC (L color) diamond in a very inexpensive solitaire setting that I would really like to upgrade. Here is the link to my stone:
http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/9028/
My price range is about $2k give or take for the setting. I want to find a setting with a pave shank, white gold is fine. Currently my setting has double prongs, which I like but isn't a must have. Not interested in a halo. Ring Size 6.
The setting I've been most attracted to I can't purchase because it is from Blue Nile - so would need to have something similar custom made:
http://www.bluenile.com/build-your-own-ring/graduated-pave-double-prong-ring-platinum_42414
I like that it appears pretty delicate, has a slightly tapered shank and even though it doesn't have a halo still has accent diamonds set lower around the center.
I found a couple Vatche settings that are similar to the Blue Nile setting but they don't have the graduated shank and are at the higher end of price range:
1) Vatche Caroline Bright Cut Pave 1502: http://www.dvatche.com/index.php?page=collection&catID=2,11&id=10&startRow=30&alt=0
2) Vatche Corsica: http://www.dvatche.com/index.php?page=collection&catID=2&id=7&startRow=36
What do you think of these? Do you know of anything similar to the Blue Nile setting or would I just need to find a custom jeweler locally (or ask if GOG would help on something custom)? (I'm in fear that custom work would double the Blue Nile price)
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide!
Colette
