Going to bump this again and I have been looking for a reset for an OEC I recently purchased (eek!!) and my cousin got engaged with one of the most beautiful solitaires I have ever seen.

Ritani 2mm Tulip Cathedral: https://www.ritani.com/engagement-rings/solitaire-diamond-cathedral-tulip-engagement-ring-in-18kt-white-gold/5447

Vatche Corsica (not sure if a round would work in this setting, but going to find out!): http://www.goodoldgold.com/ecommerce/vatche-engagement-ring-69.html

And my cousin recently got the Tacori 2503 a few months ago (from Whiteflash, awesome experience helping her fiance shop for this), and it's incredible (the prongs are much more dainty in person): http://www.tacori.com/2503rd75

I wanted to revive this thread because I have a new favorite solitaire... MINE! :love: :bigsmile: I seriously couldn't love it more -- it's *solitaire perfection* in my eyes! (here's the link to the SMTB: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-dream-solitaire-from-cvb-lad.223818/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-dream-solitaire-from-cvb-lad.223818/[/URL] )


CVB modified "Jovyn" with antique tab prongs...

Yup! I'm a solitaire gal. I could just keep looking through this thread on a continuous loop!

I love Erika Winter's solitaires. If I ever get a ring with prongs, I'd gravitate to the Margot.

I loved this setting. It was sturdy, sleek, modern and classic. I called it my starburst setting. Loved it.

And this is my favorite soli setting in platinum. I never did set it, as I sold the diamond I had for it. But I've always loved the swoop of the arms.

Mrs-b, your settings are perfect. (I admire the basket on both, and know that’s a hard one to get right). I’m going to try to find a link to your rings on SMTB, but if you have any links handy I’d appreciate seeing more photos. So beautiful. Are those Brilliantly Engaged settings?

I love the dimend scaasi alessandra

Wow, bumping this setting. No bar, stone sitting medium low to the hand, tapered, all you see is diamond. Gorgeous!

Hi @LightBright -

No, these are my own designs, made by David Klass Jewelry. I agree with you - getting baskets right if you want a certain look is very difficult. I drew and drew and redrew these a dozen times before they looked the way I wanted them to.

I don't have all my rings in the one place on PS, but the vast majority of my jewelry is in *this* thread - enjoy! :))

I love a dreamy solitaire and while I don't have (yet) one favorite solitaire setting I am a sucker for an 8 prong solitaire. For the right size stone those 8 prongs are swoonworthy. Elegant, sophisticated and oh so romantic. :kiss2:
