Hello everyone. Although I am very new to pricescope I have learned a lot about diamonds in my time here. Recently, (across the past 5 years) I decided to solidify my commitment to my s.o. One of the wonderful things about this is that both her and her mother are very excited about using the diamond that was in her mother''s original wedding ring. Although smaller than I would like (something closer to .5ct) the round diamond is of a good quality and is priceless due to the sentimentality. Her parents had it appraised at a local store a few years ago and it is 0.38ct, G, Vs2 and the jeweler gave a sale value of 1100.00 if they were to sell it at that time. Now that you know a bit about the diamond, here are some specs on a desired setting.
While looking at settings my s.o. seemed to be more interested in white gold over platinum. The basis for this decision did not seem to come from how they felt or looked so much but rather the apparent ability to more easily remove scratches and wear. After reading on here, however, this does not neccesarily seem to be the case. Information on the variations of metals would be helpful (resources are appreciated as well as opinions). One of the types of settings that I keep seeing that looks to be her style are those from Vatche, particularily the Royal Crown for Round Center with the unique way the prongs cross to almost enclose the base of the diamond. She has expressed interest in a cathedral style diamond and an accent diamond on each side of the setting would be perfect . The drawback is that I can only find Vatche rings that hold diamonds of 0.5ct or higher. Do they accomidate smaller diamonds or does anyone know of similar settings that do?
I appreciate any help you can give on this and if you need me to be more specific or have alternative ways for me to get answers to these questions I am all ears
