Help finding an asymmetric (?) ering setting

[tundracaribou]

Hi all,

I've been voraciously devouring all the great information on this site and am excited to make my first post

My BF and I went ring shopping for the first time last night.

I went in thinking I wanted something simple with clean lines, but to my complete and utter shock, the setting that I liked best on my finger was this Gabriel & Co. one (shown with a matching wedding band that I'm not sure I'd get).

So my questions are:

1) Any suggestions on the best place be to find this setting online?
2) Any ideas on where to look for similar styles (I'm open to vintage/estate as well)?
3) What kind of center stone should we look for? I'd been eyeing OEC cuts but would this setting lock me into a round brilliant?

Thanks in advance for any feedback you have.

Good Old Gold (http://www.goodoldgold.com) has access to Gabriel settings, and they carry a cut called the August Vintage Round that's very similar to an OEC. As for other cuts that setting would take, you'd have to check with Gabriel to see which shapes it could hold.

Hey! I found a website with assymetrical and "twist" settings...

also their "dramatic" gallery has some assymetrical and different shape settings

You could also look here...

or here...

http://www.msimagines.com/

they both have that type of design.

good luck

BTW any of these designers can make these rings for whatever shape you choose. I am getting one of the Mark Silverstein's and as you can see by my avatar I have a radiant.

again good luck

Thanks so much for the great sources and the feedback! I had no idea there were so many asymmetric settings to choose from.

I've contacted GOG about the Gabriel setting. I'll definitely report back once we've made a choice!

Not to be an instigator, but did you see this one by Leon? http://www.artofplatinum.com/portfolio/ ... age_id=357 I'm having a hard time typing because my jaw is on the keyboard.
