I've mentioned before, but my local jeweler has an incredible 7.4 carat rb in his safe. I visit it like I'm going to the zoo! It is over 12mm in diameter, K/L VVS, with a table of 51% and depth of 61%. It has an incredible pinkish cast to it. Well, again yesterday he was trying to talk me into it, and I said "How would I even set it?" And that got me thinking, and thinking can be a baaaaad thing! Can you help me come up with ways to set this lovely that would do it justice? I gravitate more toward Mark Morrell than Leon, but this beauty deserves to have a little dressing up. Please post designs or pictures that you think would flatter this stone. |

To start, my RB is in a simple 6-prong Tiffany style platinum setting. Some pics are here: Diamond Rings Here's a Leon that I love:  ============================ |

I love the shank on this Cartier [yes, I know it's a cushion - sorry  - it is one of my favorite rings]  ============================ |

I think this Leon is beautiful too and a large RB would look great in it [of course, make it all in platinum or WG]. I had my former RM set in a similar style without the pave and with the yellow and white gold reversed [sorry, no pics]. ============================ |

Since the stone has a pink tinge something like this could be cool done in pink sapphires. This is a Sabbadini piece: ============================ |

Wow 7cts, what would I do with that. HMMM dreaming, set that bad baby in a Mark Morrell setting and put a diamond band with it. Yum like sparkly candy! You all have way to much money and time on your hands. Can you send some this way!

Please post designs or pictures that you think would flatter this stone. Wow, with a stone that size, I think a simple setting would be best. You want that baby to have center stage. But I agree, a diamond shank or even side stones would be ok too. What is your finger size? I am a size 5, so I know a stone such as the one you are talking about, would take up a lot of space on my finger. Personally, I would want a setting with a little more going on than just the center stone, but that's just my personal taste.

I have sausage fingers, probably size this baby at 7.75. There's a gorgeous ring on Leon's site, but I can't get it to save. It is r1014. Here's a link. This shank would be lovely, but I'd love to have it flow into a Mark Morrell six prong crown head: AA-001a

I've been looking for the thread Garry had with the big stone. He and irina(?) or val(?) posted several possible design ideas. Does anyone have a link to that thread? Ahhhhh, here it is!

Hmmm...something that big I would probably just do a plain solitaire setting...maybe with some fancy prong work. Or maybe with a sidestone on each side, but that is probably all. Something that big and gorgeous deserves to shine all on it's own!

I LOVE AND ADORE r1014 from Leon... but these are favorites too. This one I wouldn't do ALL pave. I'd do some pave though... I just think the Tiffany piece is over crusted, but I love the lines of the design.  This one is perfect!
