Hi,

I've spent forever searching the internet looking for a setting similar to the one in the picture. This ring is my Grandmother's and it is about 2 carats (total guess). My girlfriend loves it! What I would like to do is get a similar setting in platinum, but proportioned correctly for this diamond:

AGSL
Carat weight: 0.95
Cut: Ideal
Color: F
Clarity: VS2
Depth %: 62.1%
Table %: 55%
Symmetry: Ideal
Polish: Ideal
Girdle: Medium to slightly thick, faceted
Culet: Pointed
Fluorescence: None
Measurements: 6.30x6.33x3.92 mm

I'm really excited about showing this beauty off, but finding the setting has been tough.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I found these two settings in the Stuller catalog - common jewelry mounting catalog shouldn't be hard to find a jeweler to order it for you - although they are shown in yellow gold they are available in both white gold and plat.

Sorry can't figure out how to attach 3 pics. at once so here they are one at a time!

This one is Stuller 10228A

Hi Setting,

One other option, only if you want to keep the exact design and finger size, would be to remove the center stone and make a silicon mold of the ring.
Then you can have it cast into any metal you wish.
It would be less expensive than buying a whole new ring.
For the center setting, you can pick the size and style you want and any qualified jeweler can solder it and the re-set your diamond.
Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Mauricio
