There is a second hand semi mount available that has a very lovely, extremely expensive shoulder design that I have been in love with for ages.
The price is reasonable enough that I can afford some repair to it.
BUT the problem is the basket is for a 9 x 8 stone and my stone is 8.6 x 7.1. It's an integrated basket, not a peg.
I KNOW it depends on the setting design so I've attached a pic.
Just let me know if it is possible to ask a bench jeweler to cut out an existing basket and re-attach a different, smaller, one. I know it's not an ideal thing to do, but the rest of the setting is in great shape. The metal is platinum.
