After (embarrassingly) posting my tale of "diamond ring-woe" under another thread, I got thinking..."stock setting" perhaps? I do a lot of reading and lurking and I welcome all sorts of ideas and input. I really value the ideas and experience of people here on PS, so I thought I'd run this by you.
Over the, uh years now of looking at diamonds & rings, this setting continually pops up anytime I do my search. For inspiration and mindless entertainment, sometimes I troll for:
ANTIQUE RING+PLATINUM+LOW SETTING+SCROLL BASKET+DIAMOND SHOULDERS+TRI-WIRE SHANK+CUFFS, etc."
Now, I found several antique rings exactly like the one in the photos (one in the photo included) on the Israel Rose Website, yet another W 47th Street diamond & jewelry person in the NYC Diamond District (been reading about folks who are planning journies to GOG, DBL, IDJ, OWD, etc). I initially wanted a true antique/vintage ring but shied away due to many requiring restorative work.
Israel Rose states "their items are authentic antique/vintage jewelry." And I bought one overpriced antique band from them a while back, which is just okay. But I think this setting may be some type of replica "stock" setting...
I'm not in the market for another ring but I am thinking about settings for my 1.91 OEC.
Something about the low & elegant profile, the simple & timeless design, the NSEW prongs, swooping shoulders, the tri-wires...something draws me to this setting design. I low the tri-prongs, which coordinate beautifully with the tri-wire shank. The prongs and the lowness of the head give the ring (almost) a bezel look but without totally containing the diamond. The setting seems authentic to the era, elegant, timeless ...it's got je'ne sai quo, IMHO!
Do folks know anything about this setting? Thanks in advance for any help!!
