This is a beautiful setting - where did you find it?

It's from a Hong Kong company specialising in diamonds and gold settings

Thanks, I love the setting too.

Noo don't increase the budget! I'm hoping my rainbow moonstone ring currently with Sally will be coming in way under this budget so...keep your eyes peeled!

If preloved Frankenstein rings are allowed, here's my 14k Knox jewelers lotus setting, $460 off eBay which previously housed an 8mm round. And a Quantz 1.06 light blue sapphire $325 off LT. Cost 50 to set, and another 50 to fix the shoddy prongwork by the first jeweler. So less than 900.

I don't think I've added this one, from Yvonne Raley.
A rose gold ring with 1ct pink tourmaline and mint garnet side stones. It came in under $1,000.

What a beautiful ring 737lizakg!!! Thanks for sharing your beauty. I cannot believe this was under 1250 dollar!

Whaat? Where have you been hiding your ring. It's beautiful with the vibrant colours. This ring deserves a separate thread or lots of pics here

1 of my first few rings set by the roaming Hong Kong settings company, a 1.74 ct untreated blue Mogok sapphire cabochon in 18k white gold with 0.45 ct diamonds.
Just under 1250

Yes, David Klass did the setting. My first piece by him! The stone is from Gemart Services and is 4.19ct and 10mm. I had the setting, which I believe is quite famous and slightly controversial, modified a little. I went with smaller profile scrolls and no surprise diamond, because I wanted the stone to sit as low as possible since it's large.

I'm very excited and my husband will be quite surprised as he doesn't know of the ring's existence.

Here's the vendor pic, which really does the stone no justice. It's a darker amethyst; I know people tend to like the lighter ones but this one has amazing red flashes, with which I fell in love.

Help me out ladies and gents!
I have a 4+ ct emerald cut spinel coming my way. I have loved the ring above since it was posted and thought they be a good match.
I am assuming it's 'famous and controversial" because it's too close to another designers design? I've tried to search to no avail. What vendor is the original?
Thanks!

@Rfisher

Is that Sally's lotus setting?

I got this pretty Tanzanian "mandarin" spessartite garnet on Loupe Troupe. It is from a trusted PSer, but since I'm new and am not sure about the etiquette I won't give her name. The stone is 1.32 carat, 6.1 mm, and was precision cut by Barry Bridgestock. It is a bright stone and under the loupe it has pretty little effervescent bubbles like orange soda. My photos are on a cloudy day, but the garnet looks more bright and candy orange in the sun. The setting is an in-stock white gold halo from Ivy and Rose. I can imagine this setting looking very nice with lots of different colored stones. The last photo shows the colors of my "Empress" lotus which is blooming now in the frog pond.

I think the focus was a little better on this one. I took it on the macro setting. Still trying to get the hang of this photographing gemstones. I don't think I captured the true color of the stone very well. I see a lighter orange than this, but I notice a lot of the spessartites kind of look dark in photos or on a tilt.

That's lovely on you! Great find and addition!

Thank you, Bluegemz! It's a fun color and I feel happy when I wear it!

Stone from Dana and setting from Dinar Jewerlry on Etsy. Way under $1250!

 

[wordie89]

What pretty rings! Love the detail on the band ilovegemstones. Will have to check out dinar. I've posted my Afghan tourm from Dana to other threads but want to include here, too. Stone and setting were under $500... (Size 8, tourm is 1.32 CTS but face up small on asscher cut).

that color is amazing!!

 

[MissyBeaucoup]

Thank you, blingmeupscotty! I didn't even think I was looking for an orange stone, but when I saw that color and found out spessartites are very sparkly, I was smitten.

So many pretty colors here! Ilovegemstones, I love the color of your sapphire with the rose gold. The detailing is so pretty. Wordie89, what pretty corner prongs on your setting. Very special.

 

[wordie89]

Thank you Missy and Elle :~). It is a glowing stone and I do like the way the new head turned out. Lotsa pretties here.
