I need some help finding the perfect setting....I have searched and searched, but cannot find what I am looking for.  I know I can always get a custom setting, but for cost and simplicity reasons, I was trying to avoid doing so.  I thought maybe someone on here has seen a setting similar to what I was looking for and could point me in the right direction....


I am looking for something that has a side view that is cathedral (I think it's called) or somewhat raised center stone with some detailing.  I'll attach some pictures of things that I like the side views of.

The center diamond will likely be 0.75, possibly a little larger.  I am looking for a setting with two diamonds on each side of the center diamond, each approx 3/16 karat, so a bit larger than typical channel set diamonds, but smaller than the diamonds you would see on a three-stone setting.  I am also attaching a picture of a ring that I like the top view of (but not the side view). 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

And finally, with a top view somewhat similar to this, with diamonds approximately this size on the sides of a center diamond that will likely be approx .75-.85.


Again, any help would really be appreciated!!!

Chiming in to let you know that I've done a little searching for you, but can't dig up anything that gives you both the sweeping look of the cathedral setting and the 2 simple accent stones on each side. There are a few that come close, but the head's too 'peggy' or the sides stones are channel/pave, which I guess you've already determined!

I'll check a bit more and let you know if I find anything.

did you happen to see this on pearlmans as well?  It seems to incorporate all the components you are interested in?

ETA: nevermind, I reread your post and  you essentially want a five stone cathedral correct? not a three stone look with sidestones?

Thanks so much everyone...I really like this one...this is pretty close to what I had in mind.  I haven't looked at all of the replies yet, but I'm liking what I see so far!

If you're leaning this direction, you should definitely look into Scott Kay and Diana...

I do love that Scott Kay ring!  I can't find it on the website though....do you have a link to it?

Thanks!!!


EDIT:  Nevermind...I found it...I do love it, but it is a bit above what I was hoping to spend on the setting.  I have a budget of about $6k and was hoping to spend about $4k on the center diamond and abiout $2k on the setting....But that setting is just what I was looking for.  I can't believed I looked over it the several times I've browsed the Scott Kay website!  But at least now I have a picture of what I am looking for...or maybe save up some more for this one!

Its a gorgeous Ring, if  you can save up for the original then definitely worth it, otherwise, you can see if you can get it somewhat replicated perhaps? But I am also in love with the ring, maybe another anniversary down the road for yet another reset
