Hey everyone, this is my first post here. I'm wondering if anyone can help me with my situation. I have inherited an antique diamond from my father (was used by his grandmother) for use in my engagement ring. I got it graded by GIA and the report is as follows:
GIA #: 5172081375
Shape: Circular Brilliant
Meaurements: 5.18-5.33x3.15mm
Weight: .54ct
Color: I
Clarity: SI1 (but it is not eye clean, there is actually a dark carbon inclusion that is easily seen but mainly from the underside of the diamond)
Depth: 59.9%
Table: 61%
Girdle: Thin-Medium
Culet: Medium
Now this is an antique diamond that was given to me for free, and also has sentimental value so I don't want to tell my family "hey this is not good enough for my lady I'm buying her a new diamond" because it's honestly acceptable to me. If you think it's utter trash let me know (but as far as antique diamonds go I think it's ok)
Anyway, the setting she absolutely adores can be found here on Brilliant Earth:

And a similar one on James Allen here:

But I obviously cannot purchase from either of those vendors without purchasing a diamond. I'm in the NYC area, does anyone know a reputable jeweler that can help me get her this setting (or very similar) with my current stone? I'm currently in talks with Ken and Dana, but their specialty seems to lie in settings with more of a "personal handcrafted" look while my future fiance would really prefer the look to be as clean as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day!
