HW-style double claw prong asscher setting on budget

[BrightSpot]

Hi all,

I''m absolutely in love with neatfreak''s new sapphire (picture below) & contacted Jeff White to see if he could find/cut me a similar stone for a RHR.

I wanted to get a sense of the total cost (setting included) of the ring before moving forward.

I''m thinking a Harry Winston-style double prong solitaire would be lovely for a stone like this.

Harlowqueen''s stunning ring (hope you don''t mind my posting the pic!)

Or something like this Daniel K

Do you guys think a setting like this would look nice? Also, do you know where it might be available for not too much money?

Thanks for your help!

brightspot, i think those setting''s would be gorgeous with a sapphire. my guess is you''d have to go custom, especially with the double claw prongs though and you already know who the good custom folks are.

Yep, either of those would be stunning for a cut like NF''s.

Thanks, ladies. I''m afraid going custom might be out of my price range for this project. I was hoping to be able to find a stock setting (or maybe a stock setting that could be easily customized a bit) with this look.

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced ready-made setting with this look?

the only thing i can think of that might make something similar is maybe stuller or adwar? I''ve got to run out so i can''t search but i''ll try to look around a bit when i get back.

Thanks, mrssalvo! How are you feeling, btw? I''ve been lurking on the pregnancy thread & enjoying hearing about everyone''s progress.

I checked adwar''s site & it looks like there might be some options there.

Maybe this one?

This one looks pretty similar too. (I can''t really tell the difference, except that they seem made for different sized stones)
