Hi PS-

I am curious to know if you have a favorite plain shank solitaire for 1 ct stones. I have a 1.25 ct round that I am looking to reset in a plain solitaire. My stone is deep so it looks like a 1.15 from the top view. I love so many solitaires that I have seen on PS, but many are either much larger or much smaller than my stone and I am not able to get an idea of how my stone would look.

If there is already a thread like this, please let me know.

I am leaning toward the BGD Tapered Tiffany 1/2 Round. I look at Mrs. Blop's gorgeous ring all the time! https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/tiffany-7-stone-ring.198512/



Thank you PS Community!

That's the exact setting I was going to recommend based on your title :) I think BGD has the prettiest 6-prong head! I love the Vatch U113 too but the BGD setting is significantly cheaper.

I think the BG ring is really beautiful, and I have the Vatche U-113 which I obviously also like. If you want a really special one, I think the Mark Morrell petite torchiere is gorgeous, but more expensive.

You know, if your stone is deep, you might want to consider a little recut if you send your diamond to BG. They might just be able to do a little adjustment on the pavilion side to make it closer to ideal cut since it is deep.

Diamondseeker2006- I may look into having Brian Gavin review my diamond for a possible recut. I love your Vatche U113! Stunning!

Jpace2044- Thank you! This helps me to feel great knowing that you would suggest the same setting that I am considering. I am trying to keep costs down so the Vatche may be out of my budget since I also plan on getting the matching plain wedding band as well as an eternity to go with it. It is nerve wracking making decisions based on pictures for an online purchase so I really value the input that I receive from PS'ers like you! :-)
