I''m new here, and need help in putting a ring together. Based on what I know about my f2b (and a few dropped hints!), I''m looking at a ring like the following, but details are still hazy/flexible:
18k yellow setting
Diamond: 1.5-2c radiant, slightly rectangular
Side stones: one emerald on each side
Now for all the questions!
Has anyone seen a ring like this? (A pic would help me a lot!)
Any special color considerations in view of the yellow ring and emeralds?
(I want a diamond with lots of brilliance/sparkle, accented by the emeralds)
How big should the emeralds be to provide a nice surround but not detract from the diamond?
What kind of mount for the emeralds? (I assume not prongs b/c they''re fragile, and I''d like as sturdy a ring as possible.)
Any other diamond shapes that would work well with this? (Has to be a princess, cushion, radiant - no round/marquise and not an emerald cut--I want more sparkle!)
What shape for emeralds?
And if this ever gets figured out, then where to get such a ring? I have no problem getting a diamond online, but am more in the dark about the emeralds. I also live in NYC and would be happy to buy from a good dealer/designer (stones, setting or both).
Sorry for so many questions but I finally have an idea of the ring I want and realized that trying to figure out the rest on my own would take forever!
Any ideas or pointers to other threads/websites would be most welcome!
