daboyzmomi Cut Rock Total Posts: 182 Last Post: 9/8/2004 Member Since: 9/29/2003	Hi All~ Well I had started early window shopping for Valentines Day and was orginally looking at an openwork antiquey looking band, but then came across this mounting. I would use the diamond from my original engagement ring (currently in safe since the new upgrade has taken over ) which is a .53ct RB SI1 I/J . Any thoughts on how this would look? I am concerned with the diamond color vs. the white. I decided to possibly go Sapphires because I have rings for all my kids birthstones except this one. (ruby, diamond and sapphire) If anyone has any other antique sapphire reproduction looks you would like to share, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

One concern would be the size of the center stone: this setting (and most) should match the diameter of the diamond quite closely or else... If you order it, you may want to ask about this and also about the sizing - there may be restrictions about up/down sizing given those channel-set (?) sapphires.

If he has the molds, he should be able to cast a new one pretty easily with a different head. If not, find someone who can cut you the ring custom, it is a fairly simple job for a store that does CAD design.

Thanks all.---------------- 0.05 what? carats? milimeters? Whichever it is is far too little to be of concern. The only way to know is get the measuments of your diamond (diameter) and e-mail the seller of the setting. There are many ways to go around this issue (as the posts above say too). Keep up posted!
