Hi All!
I'm new to the forum and wanted some advice about designing and ultimately paying for a custom ring setting.
At this point, I know what type of diamond she wants, but I'm not sure how to proceed with the setting. My GF found a style on Etsy that she LOVES (oval stone, skinny/dainty 1.5mm gold band, hidden halo). Here's a link to a similar ring -- The one I saw the other night sold. I included some photos of the original below. We didn't buy it because it is a clarified diamond.
In addition to that, she'd also like a lower setting for the ring, similar to the Stella setting from Apres here. Pictures are also included below for reference. I've asked around but still haven't found the right jeweler. I know JA has a custom setting option, so I can always go that route if need be.
In summary.....

In summary.....
- Solitaire with a basket or hidden halo
- Thing band without diamonds on it
- Rounded prongs
- Low setting
- Is there a standard ring setting out there that combines the requirements above? Or would this be a custom setting?
- (I've searched for a few hours but couldn't find one)
- If so, do you all have recommendations on a PS vendor who has done similar work? '
- (I'm in the DC area and would prefer to go local, but haven't found the right jeweler yet)
- Is it possible to create a custom wedding band that will work with a low setting?
- (I've seen one in person with a ring cut-out so that it could slide flush with the band)
- Lastly, how much of a price premium do you all think something like this will command?
