It's almost a shame that these are earrings because the flower basket is so stunning. see more of @t86 's halo / stud combo from august vintage here:

I just got my August Vintage European Rounds set, and I wanted to share! (I sent my pictures to my friends, but the reception was lukewarm. Non-Pricescopers don't understand!) Here's the background thread...

this isn't a pricescopers but spotted on 1st dibs and sharing in case someone needs ideas for what to do with a spare 250k love that setting and that chunky gem

@prs 's wife received a honkalicious anniversary gift with a delicate floral basket. The diamond is so large the basket was obscured in the original design, so the proportions were tweaked to allow the flower to peek out.

@wildcat03 set her ceylon sapphire pendant in a basket with a hidden lotus

New colored stone goodies!

I just had DK set a few projects for me. The first is a 6.3 mm (1.3 ct) Ceylon sapphire from desertrose set in a Tiffany soleste-inspired pendant. The stone is unheated and has a really pretty cut. I am a little unsure about the size of the attachment at the pendant and chain but I also prefer a...

@Cerulean 's pretty petal soli by Inken

Celestial or floral setting for diamond? Can't decide :(

I have been in reset purgatory for a little while. :???: I have a 1.3 carat OEC I want to put into a solitaire. Her current dress and my wedding ring I think I am finally inching close to the finish line. I have considered so many vendors and styles, but in this process realized that my...

Here are top views of my Dahlia. It was the first one made. I exchanged so many emails with Caysie during the process to get it exactly how I wanted it. I wanted more metal in the silhouette/prongs both to protect the diamond and also to have a pronounced flower effect. I think the top view and basket are what makes the ring so special, like a beautiful lotus flower. The height of the shank was purposely made slightly higher too bc I didn’t want a diamond band hitting the basket and chewing away the metal.
I previously had a Leon mege solitaire and the basket on that ring had been worn away from my diamond band.

If you don’t mind me asking, what size is your diamond? I love this setting and it’s currently in n design. I love the 8 prong but my diamond is 1.5 carat. I don’t know if that would overwhelm it. Should I go 6 or would that loose the flower petal look like yours above?

I'm not @ringbling17 but with a 1.5 I'd probably do 6 prongs. 8 could work - your jeweler should be able to mock up both. If you look in the thread there are some tulip settings w/ 4 prongs. mine has 6 and I think it still looks quite floral!

This is just beautiful, @ecf8503 !! The buttery yellow gold is so rich and it allows the icy white of your stone to POP! Is this a reset of the same stone from your avatar (Chloe setting, I think?)?

Oh duh! I didn't check the facets How wonderful to own 2 rounds, with one in each type of metal. Both are stunning!

 

[Rubies-R-Me]

Wow! Your ring is absolutely STUNNING!!! It's the whole package of perfection. The stone and the setting.. enjoy!!!
