help with setting

[DND168]

In your professional opinion or past experiences, what is setting goes best with a round cut? about 1-1.30 carat... No sidestones..

is there setting out there that will really compliment the round diamond well?

ANY inputs would be greatly appreciated.!!!

Hi DND.

There are many beautiful settings. The style of your setting is a matter of personal taste. From a basic Tiffany-style setting in 4 or 6 prong, all the way to something of incredibly complex design you can't go wrong if it makes you (and the wearer!) happy. I would suggest you browse the websites of different vendors and designers.

I do have advice on the color of the setting relative to the diamond if you are interested in that kind of input: If you choose a gold setting but have a colorless diamond that diamond may absorb and reflect back some of the setting color, so I personally advise white gold or platinum for diamonds that face up white. However, this is also a matter of personal preference.

Here is a link to our forum eye candy folder.

Best wishes,

If you want to accentuate the size of the stone, I would recommend getting a thin solitaire (2-2.7mm). The wider the band, the smaller the diamond will look. I just ordered the Superbcert 6 prong Tiffany setting for my stone because I really want my stone to stand out. Here''s a pic of the setting.

I also think John''s idea of looking through the ering folder is an excellent one.

This is also very nice. it''s a royal crown setting by d''vatache. it''s in my inspiration folder.

As far as solitaires go, I love the Royal Crown.

As far as solitaires, the Royal Crown is pretty but I think the Tiffany 6 prong setting that Demelza is referring to is prettier. The shank is thinner and thus accentuates the diamond more.

do you think that the d''vatche royal crown setting can be customized to have the tiffany''s knife edge shank?

i also like the way you can see the bottom of the diamond with the royal crown setting. with the tiffany six-prong it''s hard to see.
