Help me find a setting

[mdessouki]

Looking for a fairly plain setting & band. Don't want to go the costume route...

-Stone is a 1.51 cart round
- 3/4 pave
- Thin <2mm
- Low set diamond & simple four or six prong head
- No gaps when held next to the band. I dislike how some prongs start of the side of the ring.

Does anyone have and suggestions? Thanks in advance.

It might take you hours to peruse this website, but it is well worth it.

I shopped around for a year but was able to find the setting of my dreams:

Have a look!

Many designs have wedding bands to fit the engagement ring, so no gaps if you don't like them.

Enjoy!

p.s. I don't work for fay cullen, lol. This is the setting that I chose: http://www.faycullen.com/Settings/Antique-Style-Ring-Settings/5685/ (no wedding band for this one)

I'm not totally sure if this is what you are looking for but here are some options. They are 2mm on the bottom and I would not go thinner than that for durability issues.

Different head styles

I'd choose Ritani: Extremely durable, just under 2mm, will do 3/4 shank and just a beautiful setting. Wedding band will also sit flush.

pearlmans is offering 20% off gift cards now and can be immediately so good time to buy..

Whiteflash's Harmony set is beautiful too:

I know you said pave, but to me a channel set is much more sleek, clean and elegant. Just playing Devil's Advocate here I just don't like how "prongy" the Paves look. Not to discredit your taste Not to mention it's the one I'm getting for my fiance. Imagine it with the prongs clamped down. Cheap, too. Under 1k--more than half than the others suggested above. Let me know if you want details

Here it is....I LOVE this Beverley K set and would get it in a heartbeat...

What's your budget? Settings come in various price points.

Gabriel & Co makes one for under $1K. You'll find some links here:

Henri Daussi also makes one very similar except it has more swoopy prongs:

Both of those are under 2mm, and will sit flush with most eternity bands.

I like the Harmony, but its too thick. I really like the Lotus band (just not the setting). I inquired to LM on a custom V-cut pave setting but 5k is more than want to pay for something rather simple (really just the Lotus with a low 4 prong head)... No real budget but I'd like to keep it under 4k if possible...

THe Harmony was our first choice but she prefers something a little more delicate. I'm ok with thin as long as it can be insured... I'm not sure why but I don't like the BGD fishtail setting. Its just like the harmony but something about it...

I really wouldn't suggest going under 2mm in a pave band unless it's a time and quality proven company like Ritani. I have a Michael b band that is right at 2mm just like the Leon one you posted and it is super, super thin. Has she tried on any of these rings/styles in person? You will also be putting a large stone on the ring and even designers who make super thin rings like Tacori and Michael use slightly wider bands for larger stones, you need the strength and support.

ETA: if you really like the Harmony have you asked WF if they can make it at 2mm instead of the 2.3 it comes in?
