Googie needs help picking a setting

[googie]

no, at this point I am open to any ideas, whatever shows off the diamond the best.

I love the vatche x-prong that your originally posted

it is simple elegant and timeless to me a setting like that allows the stone to do the talking .

The other setting I am currently in love with is the vatche swan, it is a little more complex around the head but still the diamond is the star .

Ok, question: Where do I find a setting that closely resembles the tiffany setting?

A lot of the ones I have seen have very thick prongs but the tiffany setting doesn''t.

The side view of these two settings looks totally different, the prongs look massive on the James Allen setting!

The Dvatche is probably the closest to the Tiffany Lucida, so if you have a DVatche daler close to you, I would go straight to them.

Excellent choice on the diamond! I just bought a .91 Ideal round from Blue Nile and am having it set in their trellis/x-prong/Luci style setting. Ellen and Gail (TanDogmom) both have rounds in DVatche settings, and the results are stunning!!

Googie, I''ve heard a lot of people talk about WF''s version.

Also, I''ve heard a lot about Excel''s version.

If you do a search on here, you should get many threads, and you can possibly get an idea of who likes which one more, and why.

I think your diamond would look stunning in such a classic setting! And then she could possibly get a diamond wedding band to go with. Many women love this combo. But you can''t go wrong with a Tiffany like setting.

googie:

not to steer you further away : ) but thats a very nice stone to put in a $500 setting...

Anyway I was on roughly the same path as you recently, similar stone, similar solitaire trellis or cross design.

I found some of the settings by www.mwmjewelry.com to be more unique than anything else I had seen and ended up going with them. It wasn''t cheap (~2000) and it wasn''t fast... but take a look.

Other trellis style settings I''ve seen were made by James Cooper.
