AV Sonora Bezel Ring: Anyone own this?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one here, but would love anyone to post if they have one! It looks so gorgeous and sleek to me. Curious as to how it looks with an AV Cushion.

@hobbitfancier55 Hi! I do not have this setting but I do have similar. I wanted to point out that the open gallery can leave the pavilllion of the stone vulnerable if you are hoping to wear with a diamond band. I have a few bezels, so when I make a new ring I always add some kind of gallery to protect the pavilion since I like to wear bands with my rings. My pavilion was scratched by a diamond band and it makes me so sad....
Beautiful setting though if you wear with all plain bands or solo. Love the sleek lines!

ETA @elle_chris I believe it is from August Vintage.

If you go to his Instagram he has an image a while back of it with an AV cushion. It’s freaking perfection. I don’t know if it would be appropriate to screenshot it to here though because it’s not my image.

It’s Jonathan’s (GOG owner) own CAD design

Ooo that is something i didn’t think about. Good to know! Would a channel set band prevent this issue as well?

Good question, I wonder that as well as the metal shouldn’t scratch a diamond? I wore a diamond band with it and it definitely damaged the stone.

I do love a bezel though, so very much! Bezels are all I own now. Haha

I remember a Pricescoper was selling theirs on here but then sent it to consignment. I found it! http://www.loveaffairdiamonds.com/10-x-9mm-colorless-august-vintage-cushion-moissanite-solitaire/

I'm sure channel set would definitely help, since you don't have to worry about the girdles scratching the ring. BUT the tops/crowns of the diamonds are still exposed, and since the AV setting places the center stone pretty high I feel like you could still get scratching from the crowns of the diamonds on the diamond band. Definitely less risky than prong set though
