I have been on quite the journey in regards to finding the right solitaire setting for my round brilliant diamond. The first solitaire setting I got was ruined by a jeweler while sizing it, the second setting I got was a knife-edge (which I turned out not liking because I couldn't find a wedding band that really pleased me to go with it), and the third setting (the setting in which my diamond is currently in) is so poorly made that I can't take it any longer! Sadly, a PS vendor made the setting that I currently have--it really is embarressing to show it off. Alas, I shouldn't have kept it, but I felt bad returning it for the second time. Yes, I am fully aware that I am an idiot for eating $1,200! I'm at a loss- I just want a final setting that I am completely happy with! I already have my wedding band (only 3 more months until I get to wear it), and it is a channel set band that my FI had custom made from past anniversary diamonds.
Here's where you pricescopers come into play: I am looking for a thin-ish contour setting. I've noticed that most contour settings are pretty wide (3.5-4 mm), but I would like one that is 2.5-3 mm. I also noticed that contour settings are rounded, and my wedding band is a flat edge. Do any of you know of a contour setting that is flat edge and kind of thin? I want this setting to sit flush with my wedding band, too. Is my best bet to get one custom made? I'm not sure I want to do that.
Picture, any particular settings in mind, thoughs???? Help me end this pain-staking journey!!!!!!!!
