How would you SET your 11k pick from Neil's Thread?

[Gypsy]

Okay so... Neil's thread was very fun.

I'm building on it.

How would you SET the stone(s) you chose? Please post link AND upload a photo if you know how!

And if you can either post the link to or post the picture from Neil's thread here.

You just want to know how the hell anyone would set the starship enterprise, admit it

I need the icon that rolls around on the floor laughing.

I do admit, that is the FIRST thing I thought, after I stopped giggling over your choice.

Now, come on... the curiosity is killing me.

I picked two stones, here's the yellow diamond:

And here's how I'd set it, n a three stone ideally with a setting from Steven Kirsch with either cushions or traps:

My other choice was this gorgeous 1.7 carat GIA K OEC: http://www.jewelsbygrace.com/loose-diamonds/1-ct-to-2-00/1-71ct-old-european-cut-diamond-gia-k-vs2.html#.UyKiK4Xg9Cp




This is how I'd set it (maybe, I'd want to see the setting options from Old World Diamonds):



Alternately this beauty by Erika Winters:

These are my dream settings!

I think step cuts are just growing on me, though i wished they faced up larger. I want to add 1 step cut to my collection and then I think it will be complete...well maybe! I guess I should never say never.

Looks like lots of night owls on PS!

The first setting is beyond gorgeous!!!

Baa hahahahaaa!

I am curious!

A pendant?

This was my choice:

I would wait for 2 x 0.5ct matching August Vintage Round Ns and set it in a three stone like this:

LOL Msop, it is lunch time for me (I'm in germany)! I think you will find most of the people posting are from Europe

 

[Niel]

Fun!
As much as I love antique settings, for everyday I like my settings a bit classic.

Don't worry I had the same dilemma. I really like the stone it's way cooler than a boring trilliant - they normally don't come with free steps.... I saw your above link and a couple of other rings like it, but I think it's a little lopsey to put into a straight halo. Pendant maybe? I actually think it would make a really cool ring if you could get an antique style halo around it to even out the fact it isn't symmetrical and a prong to cover the white inclusions I can see really clearly on one side of it.

I went over all the types of stones you could add to it as sides to even out the shape but mentally that just didn't work.

I think it would look really amazing hanging. So a bezelled charm, allowed to swing freely or a pendant or something like that.

Hmmm, I would either wait for another for a match and make a gorgeous pair of elegant drop earrings-that dangle just below the earlobe or do a short necklace choker style with the octavia right in the sexy part of the neck. Classic and elegant.

I'd set this

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-dia...odified-cut/1.81-carat-vs2-clarity-sku-286527

in this

http://www.jamesallen.com/engagemen...k-double-halo-pave-engagement-ring-item-17849
or

http://www.whiteflash.com/engagemen...triple-halo-3-stone-engagement-ring-2201.htm

I know it's been done before, but I love it.

 

[Asscherhalo_lover]

Harriet's Tsavorite setting, I have it saved but I'm not going to post it. Those of you who know it will remember it

Here's the diamond I love but would prefer square, fancy brownish yellow DBL antique style cushion.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I recently got this gorgeous platinum setting that has a place-holder stone, and I could get a FLY radiant to go in it, or I might set a sapphire in it. But it has made me want a yellow diamond, and I might alternately go for a light yellow AVC or emerald cut in another ring.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

My alternate stone is an AVC, although I'd really like a little larger if I were going to really do this! This one is a beauty, though.

http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/11100/

In fact, if I didn't go for the yellow stone in the previous ring, I'd love to have a light yellow AVC.

There are several Singlestone rings that I love, so these might be among my choices. The last one is Yenny's setting with a DBL yellow cushion. (I have to say, though, someday I am going to have a Mike Robinson ring and I have no idea what stone it will have nor do I know the design yet!)

 

[packrat]

I chose this http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/9409/ aaaaand I dunno how I'd set it. Erika has great taste, so I think I would just work directly w/her on something sleek and simple. Or, I'd get a big/warm OEC and have it in a cushion bezel-the solitaire version of her three stone. I can't find any big/warm oec's to link to.
