PLEASE, PLEASE help me?!?!?! I'm searching for an engagement setting...very simple, but hard to find. Something with a band of 2mm or thinner with small round diamonds going 1/2 way around the band. 4 prong setting...for a 1.5 carat Cusion cut. Please help...any online suggestions?

2 reasons: 1 - usually cheaper to find already made 2 - you can see what you are getting before you buy it

Close...but not with the Pave setting. I'm looking for the stones to be set in the band and what I think is called "micro-pave" beading on the sides...

Not sure what you mena, but surely it is not "micro pave" - because that's what the DVatche picture shows. That's just extra small paved diamonds, a bit larger and they's called "pave" fullstop and larger still - "bead set", as far as I know. I think you mean smething like this: - a row of small diamonds between two ridges made of small metal grains. Let's see if I guessed: (this is listed by Fay Cullen and the band is 2mm wide) Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian] |

That's it. Here's a pic of a Fay Cullen that she liked. Unfortuantely, the diamond is too small and yellow. I called and asked if they sold just the setting or anything similar for a cushion cut and they said they don't right now. Any other suggestions?

This came up... not sure if there are half-the-way versions though.

or like this: one is antique in style, the other is not. She likes both. 2 things she likes: low setting of the center stone and the little beading around the edges.

Ah, I think when you refer to the beading around the edges you mean the milgrain?

Hi Moore, You might want to check out settings by Coast (http://www.coastdiamond.com/). Here is a link to pics of my ring. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=19005&forumID=8&catID=&search=1&searchstring= It does sit up pretty high though, so may not really be what you are looking for. Good luck!

Well... LINK however, the ring at Fay doesn't look much like anything I know of ready made, bar the "endless love" setting from Ritani and that one does not come with millgrain, it seems. Anyway, a rectangular basket setting may eed to be made precisely for your stone, so it's back to the custom idea again  Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen."

i posted a picture of my ring because it sounds similar to what you are looking for (minus the pave bezel). am i right? my stone is a cushion too, and the setting has small bead set diamonds and milgrain edging. the shank is 2.1 mm wide and the ring is set VERY low. the pave is three-sided but you could easily have it done one-sided if you prefer. my setting is by leon mege at www.artofplatinum; he could certainly custom make a setting for you (as could many of the pricescope vendors). i'd think you'd be surprised at how competitive the pricing for custom settings can be. good luck.

You can get a 1.5 mm band done by C. Gonshor, that is exactly what I did and it has round diamonds going all the way around (eternity) with a sizing bar on the back. I went through Solomon Brothers in atlanta Georgia and if you go to their website you can type in 74952 in the SKU box and it will show you the exact ring. Mine has a 1.51 asscher cut in the middle. They handmake their jewelry so it can be made to exactly fit your stone.
